About this experience

Surfing in Javea is extremely unique and exquisite, with the Arenal (the main sandy beach of Javea), being perfect for when the waves start rolling in. It's pearl shape perfectly pushes up the water and forms smooth and steady waves. On top of that, surfing in Javea is a bit of a spectacle, where you can expect hundreds of people to be watching you whilst you catch some waves, so be prepared to put on a performance! 

Why I personally love surfing

I love surfing because I find in it a great metaphor for life. People, opportunities, experiences and days are like waves... some are worth riding, some are worth chasing, and some are worth simply ignoring and passing. Some waves will bring you incredible joy, whilst others will hit you hard and leave you speechless. And some days waves may not come at all, but its the acceptance of this fact that's important. Nonetheless, just when you least expect it, the most divine and special wave creeps upon you, offering you indescribable feelings of freedom, making you feel alive and connected to yourself and everything around you. And waves are just like moments, not to be taken for granted, but rather accepted and made the most of.

Why should I go surfing in Javea?

First of all, it is great exercise! When you're surfing, you're using every part of your body, gaining both muscle tone and strength. On top of that, surfing is an aerobic activity, significantly improving your cardiovascular system! But what's best is that you won't even realise that you're exercising because you'll be having too good of a time! The incomparable atmosphere of splashing sea water, the contrast of fresh water and warm sun, the beautiful beach and all those surrounding you makes this one of the most unique activities to do whilst in Javea.

What can I expect to learn from surfing?

Not only will you be able to practice a form of exercise that works your entire body, but you'll learn far more than just how to catch a waves and how to paddle. Surfing in Javea will teach you additional things about the ocean you might not have known before, like currents, swells, types of surf breaks, and an overall better understanding of the sea. As you learn how to surf, you'll also feel extreme amounts of self-satisfaction as you persevere through challenging surf sessions, all whilst you feel a part of a community of surfers and make friendships that'll last for a lifetime!
