Oxford Brookes Water Sports

SURF TRIP UPDATE🌊🏄
Due to the crossover with the ski trip and the proximity to the second semester, we are moving the trip to early Easter holidays (1st-8th April). The moving of the dates allows us to go on this trip and still have 10 days left of holiday when we get back!
For those needing a refresher of what the trip consist of:
For one week from the we will be staying in Corralejo, a town in the north of the island in the ‘planet surf camp’ surf house which has amazing reviews for their hospitality, layout (with a pool) and proximity to the beach and town
The hostel provides breakfast and dinner everyday aswell as surf lessons, wetsuits, surfboards and transport to the surrounding beaches and the airport! For the most part of the trip, we will be either surfing, or relaxing on the beach at some of the beach bars that are scattered across the beaches, however we will also be having a few days off where we take boat rides to smaller islands to explore them and snorkel in the turquoise water that surrounds them (search up lobos island to get an idea)
In terms of nightlife there’s a large amount to choose from, and we plan to go to a different beach bar and club every night (which is obviously optional)!
You don’t need any experience of watersports at all to come on this trip, you don’t even have to surf, you can just treat it as a get away (and it would still be a very good deal!)
However if you want to surf seriously we’ve got very experienced instructors that will take people of any surf level and teach you to improve!

The total cost of the trip is £385!!! + flights

Calling all surfers 📣!
We’ve got our January surf trip all ready to go and it’s going to be a BIG ONE!
:
Oxford Brookes Watersports will be taking on FUERTAVENTURA 🏝️(canary islands)
:
We’re staying at a really cool Surf House just a few minutes walk from the beach in a small but bustling town called Corralejo right at the north of the island (where the best waves are). As well as surfing we’ll be visiting a new beach bar each night and if you would like, take a speed boat excursion to the small surrounding islands where you can snorkel and sight see!
Corralejo has a surprisingly lively nightlife for a small town, so for those that can’t leave the nightlife behind, don’t worry you’ll be more than satisfied!
:
If one day you want to do something different while out there, the island has amazing sand dunes and many companies offer dune buggy hire, so you can spend the day shredding the dunes while surfers shred the waves!
:
This trip is completely BEGINNER Friendly, however there’s also transport to more challenging beaches with bigger more challenging waves for the more experienced!
:
Aswell as accommodation, you’re getting:
- 5 days of surf lessons
- breakfast and dinner
- transport to the airport
- All surf hire equipment
The price for the entire week is £385 + flights!
This isn’t a trip you want to miss!
The link to pay your deposit is on our story, with the password in our groupchat!
