2 Continents - 2 Oceans

20.05.-26.05.2012

the best of both worlds...

Windsurf, Kitesurf and Stand up paddling for 4 days in Tarifa. Flatwater Freestyle, Downwinders along beautiful coastlines and wave riding sessions - the spots around the southern most point of Europe offer almost everything a Surfer can dream of. 

Even though Tarifa is without a doubt one of the best spots Europe has to offer, every Surfer who´s been there will find himself looking over the Strait of Gibraltar to Morocco one day. How would it be to make the Crossing? How long would it take? How´s the Windsurfing and the Kiting over there?

After the 3 days in Spain, we will take the SUP Boards and paddle through the Strait of Gibraltar to Africa. A Sailing Yacht will accompany us to provide safety and taxi for the ones who don´t want to paddle the whole way.

Morocco

Even though Morocco is just 15 Miles away from Europe, you will find that you have paddled into a different world.

The shiny Surfshops will give way to traditional moroccan markets, the nightlife and Party Tarifa is famous for, will change to chilled nights in front of bonfires on the beach and crowded spots are impossible to find. 

The next three days we will be exploring Moroccos Coastline, searching for the perfect spot. Every night in a different little hotel and every day at a different spot.

Expect something different - expect more!

During that week, we will spend at least 6 hours every day on the water. Every session will be accompanied by professional VDWS Trainers, equipped with video and photo cameras to ensure a professional feedback after every session. We will surf spots in the Med, the Atlantic, in Europe, and in Africa. We will spend our evenings in Spain, Gibralar, Ceuta and Morocco, and we will paddle through the historical Strait of Gibraltar.

We will surf more Spots in 7 days than most Others surf in a year. 

7 days - two Continents and two Oceans!

 

Let´s hit the road together...
