Surfexperience

The Surf Experience has been running surf camps from Lagos since 1992; they call themselves the original European surf tour, surf lifestyle and surf school company, and few can argue. Guests stay at the Surf House, an adapted townhouse in the centre of Lagos with a legendary rooftop bar and BBQ area, daily housekeeping and a big communal lounge. Camps run from a 3-day taster (from EUR 256 per person) through 4-day (from EUR 323) and 5-day (from EUR 389, the most popular) to a 7-day full week (from EUR 514), with a strict no-hidden-costs promise: accommodation, board and wetsuit, all lessons, beach transport, breakfast and a veggie lunch are all included. Specialist weeks cover longboarding, pro-level boot camps, surf safaris and New Year's surfing, alongside free monthly yoga weeks, massage therapy, daytrips and the kind of social calendar (wine tastings, street parties) that four decades in Lagos earns you. Bookings run on a simple enquiry basis with a 24-hour response promise and unusually flexible deposits: valid until used, at any future date, and transferable to another name. There's no public email: reach them by WhatsApp or phone (three numbers cover the week between Mark and the two Tobys) or through the booking form on their site.
