2 Week Surf Camp in Jeffreys Bay
2 Week Surf Camp in Jeffreys Bay
A SURFING ADVENTURE IN SOUTH AFRICA
Hi, I’m Rachel John, 22 years old. I think it’s easy to describe myself as an influencer because I work a lot on social media. However, I don’t particularly like that term. I’d love to describe myself as a mastermind behind epic surf trips.
I am also a competitive fighter. In fact, that’s the reason why I don’t stay in South Africa permanently, as I have fights planned in the Netherlands as well. Currently, I live in Amsterdam.
Two years ago, I traveled alone to this exact same place in South Africa, and I instantly fell in love. I created my own itinerary, filled with all the things I wanted to do, and shared it online. Little did I know that thousands of people would be interested in following the same itinerary. That’s how the idea for the surf camps came about.
So, while this may not fully explain who I am, I’m simply a woman who loves adventure and enjoys making other people happy.

I HAD FOUND MY NEXT BUCKET LIST ITEM... I WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO SURF!
The 22-year-old Rachel John is a influencer from Amsterdam. And through her social media channels she shared her surfing holiday to South Africa in 2021. This trip was so cool that she wanted to share this experience with everyone who likes it. RAJO’S Surf Camp was born from this idea.
“Two months ago, I had a campaign shoot where I had to surf and as you know, I was terrible at it. Even though my first attempt at surfing failed completely, the ocean and the waves really attracted me. I had found my next bucket list item: I wanted to learn how to surf. Through Oak Travel I booked a Surflodge where I could stay and take surfing lessons. Never I had traveled alone before and now I even went to the other side of the world. So exciting, but I survived.
The past few days have been fantastic. Wake up every day at sunrise and start my day in the ocean without distractions. I have never felt so free and unfettered. Dare to say yes to things which I normally don’t do. I feel happy. Never I experienced a feeling like this and wish I could share this feeling with more people.”
Now, let’s talk about the name Rajo’s. Why Rajos? Well, I’m Rachel John, and I thought it sounded cool. No judgment, okay? If you have a better name in mind, feel free to send me a direct message.
Now, let me tell you what makes this surfcamp so special. At Rajo’s, we take care of everything, so all you have to do is relax, have fun, and catch those waves. I personally make sure that breakfast and dinner are covered, and rest assured, they’re healthy meals that I, as an athlete, would eat. We also plan out all the fun activities carefully, and we’re always adding new ones to each camp. It’s truly amazing!
But there’s more. Don’t forget that you’ll be learning to surf on some of the best waves in the world. It’s an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Our previous guests have told me that our surfcamp feels like a lifestyle change, not just a vacation. For two weeks, you’ll be living the life of a surfer. When you arrive, you’ll instantly become part of our big family. The connections and friendships that form during our surfcamps are incredible. It’s an experience everyone should try at least once. You may travel alone, but you’ll leave feeling like you’re part of a big family.
So, if you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone, travel to new horizons, and become part of a welcoming community, join us at Rajo’s Surfcamp. It’s an experience that will change your life!

In addition to 9 healthy evening meals, the surf camp also loves traditions, so the South African Braai (barbecue) cannot be missed.

The surf camp is located almost in the middle of South Africa, along the coastline of the Garden Route. A great place for a surfing holiday as many events take place in and around Jeffreys Bay. Live music, big DJ parties, local markets and various surf competitions.
Jeffreys Bay is a surf town and has many nice clothes shops selling designer clothes and surf equipment at very reasonable prices. Paradise Beach is where you go surfing.
