Honula - honula.com - is a smart tool to search, find and easily book Surf Camps from all over the World. 

Created by a group of 6 young professionals in love with surfing, innovation and nature preservation, Honula is the perfect place to book an entire trip based on watersports, choosing between the top surf-camps, surf-schools and accommodations. 

Honula is the answer to the common question for every surfer: 

“How can I organize my surf trip, without wasting my time and my money?”. 

After building the platform, we started testing it, and our test place was one of the best places in Europe for surfing: the Canary Islands. In one month we added some of the best structures of the Canary Islands to Honula, but in particular we received an extremely positive feedback. 

 

We have now surf-schools, surf-camps and surf accomodations from 14 countries including Spain, Portugal, France, United States, Costa Rica, Australia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Morocco and more. 

Our core values in Honula are strictly related to a simple, necessary concept: respect. Respect for the nature, in every form, including the promotion and the active participation to initiatives of beach cleaning and against marine plastic pollution.  Our social commitment, is not only our core value, but it is a way to give something back to our Planet. 

Honula, is a Hawaiian word, which means red turtle. Turtle is one of the greatest migrant animals, and personifies perfectly the spirit of our project! Travelling around the globe the turtle carries its home and this image is strongly related with our concept of being hosted:  you can go miles away, but you’ll always feel like home! Red is the colour of passion, passion of surfing and enjoying new experiences. 

“My name is Honula, and i am your red side. 

I live inside your soul, but you don’t even know me. 

I am often asleep, but if you go close to the water, i will wake up.” 

 

Live. Love. Surf. Respect.
