Element Called Water

AHOI at Element Called Water – Surf camps

We’re much more than just another Surf camp. Our purpose is to show you what we believe surfing is really all about, not just cash in on the hype. It’s about nature, friendships, passion, stoke, respect, sport and last but certainly not least, a state of mind. Everything started 10 years ago with this first wave and especially the goal to ride waves. Shortly after, we founded our first Element Called Water – Surf camp in 2005 in France.
