On your arrival at the Abidjan Airport, a car will be waiting for you. You will then be driven to Assinie Lagoon from where you will travel to the surf camp by boat.

Arriving at the Surf Camp

You will be lodged on the beach in fully equipped and self-contained huts. The surf camp also includes a common room hut with kitchen, dinning room and living room.
Yellow fever vaccine is compulsory, take some Nivaquine or any other anti malaria medecine with you. Mosquito nets are supplied in the huts.

It is possible to withdraw money from banks in Abidjan with Visa. Meanwhile, it is advisable to have some cash on hand in order to facilitate the currency exchange ( FF 1 = CFA F 100). Payment for the stay can be made in French Francs by cheque.

A resident cook at the camp will make you discover local cuisine and numerous other delicacies.

You will surf in a 28° water in beach break waves similar to the ones in Landes. Wave conditions are usually excellent and vary between 1.50m and 2m.

For the courageous ones, you will have the possibility of surfing on hidden rocky spots in the west of the country.

A shaper will be on hand for all surf board repairs as well for all rentals (possibility of buying wax locally).
