Sky & Surf is a collaboration between Airboss and Mimizan surf school Pura Vida. Pura Vida is the most relaxed surf school in Mimizan.
First week: Sky – Skydive with Airboss
In the first week you learn skydiving at Airboss. We will train you according to the free fall method, Accelerated Free Fall (AFF). This is a modern, safe and super fun skydive course, where we will personally guide you.
You will see that you learn quickly and a lot. After a week you have a globally recognized skydive certification in the pocket and you will be familiar with the sky.
Second week: Surf – Surf at Pura Vida
Carves, slides, cutbacks, floaters, speed and adrenaline. Just a few facts about the experience that you will experience in the second week, because you will go to Pura Vida in Mimizan.
What will you learn and experience here? That surfing is more than riding a wave, it is an attitude to life, a spiritual experience, a subculture and an endless search for perfection. But above all, surfing is cool.
You will be welcomed by Sven and Elles. They form the heart of the Pura Vida team that guarantees an unforgettable stay in Mimizan.

Airboss Skydiving
Our Skydive Camp is located outside Mimizan, but while skydiving you will have a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean. Our Skydive Camp breathes a great atmosphere, making everybody feel at home. It is a wonderful and inspiring place to do your skydive course. So many different people sharing the same special passion creates a bond.
Everything on the camp is within walking distance. That is ideal, because from your bed you walk in a few steps to the plane. You can also chill out with your skydive buddies in one of the hammocks at the bar.
Your stay at the Skydive Camp
You can book a 4 person room in the bunkhouse or you can set up your own tent in the drop zone.
Meals
A bar-restaurant is available at the Skydive Camp. Want to roll out of bed for a typical French breakfast or join us for lunch or dinner? The chef is ready. You can decide for yourself how you want to organize your meals for each part of the day.
Stay outside the Skydive Camp
Some participants prefer to stay outside the Skydive Camp. That is not a problem, because there is a lot of accommodation available in the area.
You have to book this yourself. Mimizan is a busy resort, so book on time! Below are a number of websites:
Relax and enjoy
Of course besides skydiving there is time enough to relax. You can explore the surrounding area, enjoy the local terraces or make a day trip to the Spanish city of San Sebastian, where you will find the best tapas. Or you just stay around and relax at Mimizan’s stunning beaches.

As an officially recognized surf school we teach surf lessons at different levels. Can you surf already? Come to Mimizan and check out the sandbanks that keep the perfect waves running. Especially in the morning.

Nice comfortable bean bags in a unique surfy decor provide the relaxed atmosphere and is the ideal place to share time with others or to enjoy your own peace and space. Board games and a library keep the boredom far away.

The lodge is surrounded by a huge common garden area with (heated) eco swimming pool facing south. This means constant sun! If you are looking for shade you will find more than enough sheltered spots. The garden is equipped with bean bags and hammocks to relax in.

We limit the number of guests to ensure a relaxed vibe in the lodge.

Reviews
Skydiven
Je denkt: springen uit een vliegtuig is misschien iets voor mij? Sjon, Rod en de andere sympathieke en ervaren mensen in Mimizan helpen je dit op een veilige en aangename manier te doen.
De ervaring van de vrije val kan je niet simuleren, dus trek je pak aan en vergeet je parachute niet…
Wel opletten: het kan verslavend zijn!
Surfen
Een weekje ontspanning en inspanning met verblijf in een erg mooie en rustgevende lodge bij Sven en Ellis en de toffe medewerkers. Dat is in het kort wat je tijdens de surfweek meemaakt. Je kan er heen als beginnende of ervaren surfer, genieten van de golven doe je op je eigen tempo. Net als het relaxen. En tegelijk leer een een hoop nieuwe mensen kennen. Een aanrader!
