Devis
A magnificent experience!! The organization of The Family Van was top notch, arrived at Dax station we picked up the van and our surfing gear, a few explanations for the autonomy and the charging of the vehicle, then the adventure begins! A great trip for a surf trip with recommendations for walking around and discovering our magnificent regions in France. The Family Van is planning a very copious lunch basket that lasted us all week! Then in this type of trip there are great encounters, Antoine who was our surf teacher, accompanied us all week through the different regions to find the best spots and during the sessions they give great advice for both beginners and intermediates! During the week, a group is also formed, with a warm and energetic atmosphere! So many beautiful memories, thank you The Family Van for this experience, we will be back:)
Surfcamp
It was a great experience, a human, sporting and super rewarding adventure. The idea of mixing road-trip in a campervan, with an electric vehicle, all in a group makes the trip very interesting in all aspects. In terms of surfing lessons, Antoine is simply at the top! Both cool and educational, he plays an important role in this trip by not only limiting himself to his activity as an instructor, he is a guide present from the beginning to the end of the stay. It was a real summer camp between adults, I could not have asked for better!!
Surfcamp
Before, during and after the stay, the team is at the top, and what can we say about the concept! Just incredible to arrive at a spot surrounded by nature with the softness of electricity! I recommend to anyone who wants a simple and quiet trip
Location en liberté
Just a great experience! On board the van I was able to experience great freedom, with magnificent natural landscapes and then surfing lessons in the same spirit! It was a great human adventure that will remain engraved in my heart! A truly magical return to basics! I am delighted and I recommend it with my eyes closed! 👌🏻🏄🏻♀️🌊🌿🚐🙏🏻🌈🙌🏻
Surfcamp
Going on an adventure with The Family Van is trying an extraordinary experience. A pre-scheduled road trip with a roadbook and surfing lessons every morning. An experience full of promises, a team of 8 people who do not know each other, for a stay rich in landscapes and encounters. A special mention to Antoine, a top surfing teacher with good advice on the stages of the Road. Not to mention the team available at any time in case of need through the concierge. I would highly recommend this experience!

Frequently asked questions
What is included in the individual rental?
When you rent a van for individual use, you get free bedding, outdoor accessories (camping table and chairs), as well as all cooking equipment (cutlery, utensils, stove and a gas bottle) free of charge. Basic multi-risk insurance is also included, and free of charge.
How do your group stays/itinerant surfcamps work?
At The Family Van, each surfcamp is a unique adventure, composed of a fleet of 3 to 7 vans, with 1 to 3 people per vehicle, thus forming a close-knit group. You will be accompanied by Noémie and Kévin, the co-founders of The Family Van, throughout your journey.
What makes our surfcamps exceptional is their itinerant nature: every day, you will explore the region in your campervan, from Biscarrosse to Saint Jean de Luz, and surf on world-famous spots thanks to daily lessons.
The days are divided into two parts: a half-day dedicated to surfing lessons, and the other to discovering the region and activities such as village visits, tastings of local products, aperitifs on the beach/guinguettes, shopping sessions, more free surfing sessions in addition to lessons.
Our desire is to offer a differentiating and complete experience unlike traditional surfcamps during which you stay in the same place during the week. Roaming and traveling in a van also create a special atmosphere and proximity for an unforgettable stay.
Are surf camps open for all levels?
Our surfcamps are open to everyone, whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level! Our teachers adapt to your level to offer you personalized courses and help you progress at your own pace.
How does the tailor-made stay option work?
After discussing your travel project (budget, interests, essentials...), our team creates a tailor-made roadbook. It includes a detailed itinerary and daily recommendations for activities, exclusive addresses, and accommodation suggestions. You can then give us your feedback so that we can adjust the roadbook to suit you.
What is the autonomy of the van?
Our vans have a range of 330km and are equipped with fast charging (40 minutes).
How long does it take to charge the van?
On a fast charging station, charging a vehicle with 10 to 85% autonomy takes 35 to 40 minutes on average: the time to have a coffee and clean the van before leaving!
You also have the option of recharging the van at slow charging stations (between 2 and 7 hours for the slowest ones) or at the campsite, overnight.
It's up to you to choose the most suitable option according to your itinerary.
