Food / drinks

Don’t feel like cooking after an active day and just want to relax? Then our Surfcamp Moliets is the perfect place for you. This surf camp is booked with full board included, which means no stress about finding fresh baguettes or making a supermarket run after a long beach day.

Breakfast & Lunch
Every morning (except Saturday), a luxurious breakfast buffet is ready for you between 9:00 and 11:00 AM. It includes tea, coffee, fruit juices, milk and cereals, fresh bread, pastries, a variety of spreads and jams, cheeses and cold cuts, and fresh fruit. During breakfast, you can also prepare a packed lunch with bread and salads to take to the beach. Note: don’t forget to bring your own lunchbox and cutlery to help reduce plastic and packaging waste.

Dinner
Four nights a week, we enjoy a delicious shared dinner together. You’ll be served a main course with salad and a tasty dessert. Dinner is ready around 7:00 PM and is made with as many local and organic ingredients as possible—packed with the nutrients you need after a day full of outdoor activity.

Have dietary requirements? No worries—we’re happy to accommodate them. Vegetarian and vegan options are also no problem. Every Sunday, you’re invited to our traditional Wine & Cheese evening, where we taste local wines and cheeses —one of the highlights of the week!

Eating Out
Three nights a week, there’s no dinner served. This gives you and your summer friends the chance to explore the local restaurants in Moliets or nearby. There are plenty of places to eat just a stone’s throw from the campsite—from traditional French cuisine to seafood, pizzas, burgers, churros, and ice cream.

Drinks

Moliets is a cute village with plenty of restaurants and bars where you can have a drink. On our surfcamp, we also have a bar where you can get a delicious iced-coffee or a nice after-surf beer!

Surf gear

At the camp, you’ll have a summer wetsuit at your personal disposal for the entire week. We also use high-quality softboards from Softtech & Vision in all sizes (6.0 to 9.0). Whether you’re catching your first wave or learning to surf unbroken waves, these boards will help you get there!

There’s also space to store your own boards and wetsuits. Want to buy your own wetsuit? We recommend getting one from SRFACE. As a Ripstar Member, you’ll receive a 10% discount via this link or with code ripstar10.

The surfcamp

In the heart of our surfcamp in beautiful France, you’ll find plenty of peaceful spots to relax after surfing—whether you prefer a hammock, lounge sofa, or bean bag. There’s a brand-new bar playing surf tunes, serving cold drinks, lunch, coffee, ice cream, and tasty, healthy snacks.

Every day, a generous breakfast is served from our kitchen, and four times a week, a delicious and healthy dinner is prepared.

At the camp, you can enjoy a wide range of sports and games equipment, such as a slackline, longboards, bodyboards, a volleyball net, spikeball, and wonky boards.

There are sanitary buildings: a large, shared facility with plenty of showers and toilets for everyone. You’ll also find a filtered drinking water point and an outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off right after a surf session.

The camp is cozy and full of charm, with different types of tipis nestled beneath swaying trees. There are 4 different types of accommodations:

  • Private tipi (for solo travelers): price for 1 person
  • Duo tipi (for couples): price for 2 people
    These are both triangle tipis with a double bed
  • Shared bell tent (you book alone and are matched with 1 other person): 2 single beds, price per person
  • Mobile home (for groups of friends, starting from 4 people): price for 4 people
