ABOUT S&s
Established in Bidart, on the Basque coast in France, Swap and surf is an ecotourism solution envisaged by surfers, for surfers (a short video clip here). Operating since 2010, the network helps you organise a surf trip by exchanging living spaces, sharing accommodation or perhaps simply by obtaining information about a destination. As a result, surfers are able to plunge into the life of a local. Our principles are simple: no money is exchanged between members and the network is only open to individuals. Accommodation costs are thus reduced to 0, and the advantages and ease increased to the maximum, with surfers able to engage in their host’s local offerings. Beyond the economic advantages, you will become immersed in your host’s surfing world and can make the most of incredibly useful local resources. www.swapandsurf.com
