Surfkaravaan Ouddorp

A stunning location with waves perfect for both beginners and advanced surfers.


Surf school Surfkaravaan Ouddorp is located just beneath Beachclub Looxs, right on the cleanest beach in the Netherlands – where sports and nature come together. You might even spot a curious seal popping its head above the water. The wide beach also offers plenty of space for other fun activities.

We are Frank and Jeroen — certified surf instructors and lifeguards.
Our surf school is open from April through October. During school holidays, we’re open every day. Outside of holiday periods, you’ll find us on the beach during weekends, and in the early season also on Wednesday afternoons and Thursday evenings.
Want to come at another time? Just get in touch — we’re flexible!

There’s no such thing as a boring day on our beach.

You can rent:

  • Soft-top surfboards

The only requirement: you must have had at least one surf lesson.
Feel free to drop by for rentals.

Stand up paddle

Interested in a SUP lesson with an instructor? That’s possible for groups of 6 or more.

Want to try it solo? We offer a 20-minute introduction covering technique and safety, followed by 2 hours of paddling fun on your own.

Thanks to the shape and location of the sandbanks, there’s a perfect stretch of water ideal for first-time SUP’ers. More experienced paddlers can even catch a small wave off the sandbank.
