California Road Trip – 1- day, 2-day, 1-week, 10 day or full 2-week experience

August 2, 2017

This November, we’re heading to Southern California for a well-rounded experience of the iconic surf scene and relaxed beach vibe this area is so famed for, while scoring amazing waves. The autumn is prime season there; the swell is consistent, the climate Mediterranean, and the prevailing Santa Ana wind continually whistles offshore. Throw in an endless list of spots that proves impossible to remember and we’re confident you’ll experience the boogie trip of a lifetime!

With just three months to go before this epic adventure in California begins, we are unsurprisingly in full froth mode – in particular, coach Matt Davies who grew up watching the Californian bodyboarding cult classics like The Inside, Crave the Cave and Enough Said.

As well as our 2 week package, we are now offering 1-day, 2-day, 1-week packages and 10 day packages.

1-day and 2 day  

Price: £90 ($110) per day

In both instances we’d ask our clients to meet us at our accommodation in Encinitas at a pre-arranged time, and then join us for a day or two of bodyboarding safari along the surf rich Pacific Coast Highway.

What’s included?

  • Surf guiding with the locals everyday to find waves to suit your ability
  • Video and Photographic analysis
  • Land and water based tuition tailored to your ability from Rob Barber and his elite coaching team
  • Good times!

1-week or 10 day package

Price:

1 week £699 ($918)

10 days £999 ($1312)

This one week or 10 day option would be exactly the same as the full 2 week adventure, only you would choose the period that you would like to join us.

What’s included?

  • Accommodation for the duration of your stay with us
  • Airport pick -up and drop off
  • Surf guiding with the locals everyday to find waves to suit your ability
  • Video and Photographic analysis
  • Tuition tailored to your ability from Rob Barber’s elite coaching team
  • Meet and greet with Jay Reale, a former professional bodyboarder and absolute legend, for an exclusive Q&A session
  • Good times!
