Location, Location, Location....

....they say is everything.

And who would we be to argue? Errant Surf Holidays has just moved into our new premises at Trebarwith Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall. The surf school overlookings the entire Newquay Bay and has its own private steps down to the beach.

Moments from Newquay town, and seconds from the surf, this has to be the best location of any surf school in Newquay.

Check us out on the map, better still come by and see us :-)

Errant lead International Tourism Fair in Santander, Spain

This week the Cantabrian government launched the International Tourism Fair (FITUR) in Spain. The fair which is due to run for over a week in Santander will include attractions from all over the region, aimed at promoting this stunning part of the world.


Errant Surf Holidays who run one a cool surfers guesthouse in Loredo, Spain have also been caught on the front page of the supplement to cover the show. Head surf coach Damian Freeman takes to the waves on the front cover while coaching at Somo beach last summer.

Like we didn't need anymore convicing...

..that now is the prefect time to head to the warmth and sunshine, of those surfing locations! This was shot this morning, as the snow came down in south west England at our office in Newquay, Cornwall.Anyone for snowboard lessons in Newquay? Maybe not, we will wait for spring.

The Island of the Wolves

You don't have to go to the end of the Earth for perfection.....


...between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands lies the island of Los Lobos. This island is home to nothing, but the best right hand point break in Europe. Ocean swells travel from the North Atlantic, and wrap along the edge of the island, creating perfect, long waves.

These shots were taken on Wednesday by Will Blair. You can book the Lobos boat from the harbour which is near our apartments, and surf house in the town of Correlejo. The boat leaves each day at 10am and costs 10 euros. Returning back at 1.45pm or 4.45pm.

Waiting for the boat back, ready for a cold beer at the local Cafe Lounge and then to bed ready for some more action!

North Track Fuerteventura

The north shore of Fuerteventura is home to some of Europe's biggest, and heaviest waves. From the town of Correjelo on the North-East side, a small dirt track runs along the coastline to El Cotillo on the west coast. Each day you will see hire cars, piled with surfboards searching for the best spot. With nothing around but a lot of lava and dirt, its fair to say the cars get a bit of a battering. Here Chris and James struggle to return the car to the airport.


Its not all burnt out cars, and massive waves in Fuerteventura. In fact on any given day it is possible to search out a surf spot to suit your level. Today the boys surfed on the west coast, a small beach break called Esquinzo.

Naked Golfers, Good Waves and Volcaneos

The surf has been going crazy this winter in the Canary Islands, with big, hollow surf on the north shore of Fuerteventura, and super fun, warm waves on the east coast and south coast of Fuerteventura. The surf school in Fuerteventura has been scoring some great beginner waves, check out these photos from the south coast of Fuerteventura.

Errant Surf Holidays also offers surf tours for more advanced surfers around the more exposed surf spots on the North Shore of Fuerteventura. Check out Cornwall's, James Waters bomb at Bristol Playa this morning.


Surfing is not the only thing to do on Fuerteventura, you can dive, kitesurf, windsurf, get lost in the sand dunes or play naked golf, like these two fellas today on the North Shore of Fuerteventura. All photos were shot by Will Blair
