7 Reasons to travel with us
Our concept is simple and stems from a lifetime of passion for travelling the world in search of waves and people. Surf camps are a trendy concept and schools are popping up everywhere. In Corralejo, Fuerteventura, there are more than 55... 90 in Taghazout, Morocco... of varying quality.
Choosing a surf camp can quickly become overwhelming: too many options, too many promises, and not enough experience. Ocean Adventure was born from a simple idea: to give you a personalised surfing adventure tailored to your profile — not just to fill up a schedule.
We have already surfed the world for you
Before offering you a camp, we went there ourselves. We surfed the spots, met the guides, tested the atmosphere and logistics. Our selection process is rigorous and based on field experience, not on a glossy brochure.
Our selection process is rigorous (and deliberate)
At some locations, there are 50 to 100 facilities. We only select a few, carefully chosen according to our quality charter: teaching methods, human qualities, appropriate accommodation, and a genuine ability to help students progress.
Our teaching methods are tailor-made
Here, you are not a "level". Whether you are a nervous beginner, a surfer who has reached a plateau, a family, a group of friends or an athlete looking to improve your performance, we adapt the spot, the conditions, the pace, the equipment and the coaching to suit you. That's what tailor-made means.
Fun and progression are at the heart of the experience.
The goal is not to "surf more", but to surf better. Our passionate guides observe, correct, reassure, and adjust. The result: more confidence, more enjoyment, and visible progress during your stay.
We are available before, during and after
Before, during and after: you have a contact person. We advise you, help you choose and remain available if needed. It's simple: we know you, we follow you, we support you.
Holidays designed by surfers
We are surfers, not a large retail group or some mountain bumpkin, and that changes everything!
We know the difference between an ‘Instagram’ wave and a wave that helps you progress. We guide you towards what is right for you, at the right time.
An experience beyond surfing
A successful holiday is also about the energy of the place, the people you meet, the meals and the rest and relaxation. Yoga, physical training, outdoor activities: everything is designed to create a complete experience. Surfing is the common thread, but people are at the heart of it all.
Committed to more responsible surfing
We favour committed, local, human-scale structures. Respect for the ocean, the land and people: this is non-negotiable. Travelling, yes — doing so responsibly, even better.
You don't pay more... but you gain much more.
Prices are in line with direct prices. The difference: you gain expertise, advice and peace of mind. Fewer mistakes, fewer surprises, more enjoyment.
Ocean Adventure is not just a booking: it's a tailor-made, personal and sincere surfing adventure. Because at Ocean Adventure, every wave is a new opportunity to grow.
Nicolas Mercadieu
The main surfing guide is The Boss!
Much more than just a surf guide, Nicolas Mercadieu, founder of Ocean Adventure, will guide you to the best destinations for learning to surf. Originally from Anglet and a local of Les Cavaliers, this big wave surfer, experienced in the most powerful reef breaks and teaching young people on gentle beach breaks, will guide beginner and intermediate surfers alike to the best destinations and the best surf instructors.
A polyglot, he learned Spanish at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands and English on the beaches of northern Sydney, Australia, and Cronulla, where he earned the respect of the locals by charging Shark Island.
From his first trips at the age of 17 to Peniche, Portugal, to Indonesia, via Taghazout, Morocco, he will share with you his network of surfers around the world.

Gautier Surf Guide, Sumatra, Indonesia
Gautier Surf Guide, Sumatra, Indonesia
A passionate surfer, he possesses above all great human qualities that led him to develop a truly eco-friendly lodge in authentic Indonesia (compared to Bali 30 years ago). The island of Simeulue was not chosen at random, as it is a true surfing mecca: waves for beginners all year round and, in the right season, waves for the best surfers: reef breaks and beach breaks more powerful than the reefs follow each other at the same pace as the tubes follow each other! A true journey into the heart of Indonesian life, the trips on offer go beyond a simple surf trip and invite you on a real human adventure.
