Our success is simply based on a combination of surf and sport activities on the one hand, and a healthy lifestyle around nature on the other. Located near the beach and the beautiful dunes of the National Park Zuid-Kennemerland, here people will be able to enjoy a simple lifestyle among other people who share that same vibe!In 2013 we decided to create an event that reflects the whole Surfana ideology.

  • SWIMMING AT SURFANA

    Being a surf festival, not only is it possible to swim in the ocean, there are also a plethora of water based clinics and activities to get involved in, and we encourage it! Please note that the North Sea can be a cruel mistress from time to time, with currents, riptides and sometimes large waves. There will be a number of trained life guards on the beach throughout the day (not at night) but swimming is totally at your own risk and we take no responsibility if injury may befall you. Be safe, be smart, do not exceed your abilities if you're not comfortable.
