PROGRESS OUTDOOR SURF HOSTEL

Moliets-Plage, France

We are Progress

Our cosy outdoor hostel is located in the vast pine forests of Les Landes in southwestern France, on ‘Camping Les Cigales’ in Moliets-Plage. We are passionate about surfing, skating, yoga, tasty and healthy food and we have a heart for nature. Our enthusiastic crew is always ready to guarantee a wonderful ‘laidback’ stay. You can either compose your stay yourself or book one of our package deals.

Progress is for everyone. Whether you wanna enjoy a week with friends, a romantic weekend get-away with your partner, a couple of days of family time or just travel on your own and meet new people. At Progress everyone is welcome.

BIG NEWS: After 12 magical summers of building our dream surf hostel and welcoming incredible people from all over the world, we’ve decided it’s time to close this chapter. It’s been wild, beautiful, and unforgettable—and nothing made us happier than sharing those moments with you. While our surf hostel in Moliets is coming to an end, this isn’t goodbye from Progress. We’re still here to help you chase waves. We’ve handpicked three surf camps we truly love and trust—places we’d go ourselves. And before we ride off completely, join us for one final celebration at Progress Festival (@progress.festival) on August 1st. And while you’re at it, follow @progress.snowtrips too for the snow trip of your dreams. March 2026 is going to be epic.

Hope to see you soon!

Ron, Joris & the Progress Family

Surf with us

Surfing is our passion and we want to share our love for the ocean with you. Whether it’s your first time on surfboard or you have been riding waves for years, in Moliets  everyone can surf!

Are you a beginner? Let us introduce you to the mother of all board sports! You can either join a beginner lesson or rent a board and wetsuit for the day and practice on your own or with friends. 

Intermediate or advanced? At Progress we offer private surf coaching to improve your skills. Or rent a hardtop or performance board at our surf shop. 

Skate with us

When we aren’t surfing, you can find us on the skate ramp. In the middle of the hostel we have built, not 1, but 2 (!) mini ramps.
Never tried skating before? It’s never too late to learn and our family is more than happy to help you out. We have all the materials and protection needed to start riding & practicing safely.
Rather stay on the sidelines? That’s cool! Grab a beer and a beanbag and enjoy the show!

Chill with us

After a full day of surfing and skating you might want to set back and relax for a bit, get ready for a party in the evening or maybe it’s just time for a good night of sleep. Our spacious and cosy tents are set up for a comfortable stay. Sheets are included.

We have different accommodation options available. Book  a shared tent if you come on your own. They are perfect to meet fellow travellers and surfers. Or book a private tent if you come with a group of friends, family or if you want some more privacy.
