ABOUT US

LIBERAN Surf & LIBERAN Camp are a surf school and camping center with a lasting tradition of 30 years, located in Viganj, in Croatia on the peninsula Pelješac. Together with our camp, we offer the full experience in learning or excelling at windsurfing and kitesurfing. Our location in the sunny south of Croatia offers great wind conditions together with crystal clear sea. 

Viganj, where we are located is a small village in the sunny south of Croatia. It is located on the shores of the clear and warm Mediterranean sea next to the historic island of Korčula. It is known for its many days of sun and great wind conditions which attract surfers from all over Europe and the world. It is filled with small cafes, bars and restaurants. The cafes are every day filled with surfers which make up most of the population during the summer days.

Windsurfing has come to this area some 30 years ago and since then, many flock every year to enjoy the winds and the sunny weather. Kitesurfing is present here for some 10 years, with constant thermal winds during the summer and flat water creating great conditions for beginner and advanced riders.

We are also proud to announce that we are a IKO Certified Kitesurf center  and besides the kitesurfing courses, we also offer kitesurf instructor courses so be sure to check those out. For more information, just click on the IKO logo below.

To make it easier for you, we have now introduced the possibility of paying through PayPal. For the precise information, just ask about it when contacting us.

“This was my first time ever windsurfing, so I had a little anxiety which soon went down the wind with calm and understanding help of very experienced instructor. I highly recommend taking private lessons in this windsurf & kitesurfing center. Me and my friends had blast in the end, and surely next year will try out kitesurfing as guys working here are fantastic!”

“We booked a lesson with the very helpful receptionist Simona and she got us a kite lesson with one of the instructors Dino. We had an amazing time on the kite boat! They taught me how to kitesurf on my own and issued me an IKO card at the end. Also the surf instructor Toni taught my girlfriend how to surf very well and she was really happy with the lessons! We can’t wait to come back again next year!” -Spazjon, UK

“I had an advanced course with Filip to learn how to glide in foot straps. Until then I was able to windsurf and glide. The footstraps did not work although I read through Tricktionary 2, VDWS beginners and advanced books. After the lessons with Filip with some exercises on my own I was able to glide in footstraps. Thanks a lot, Trixi” -Trixi B, Germany

“If you want to learn to kitesurf, windsurf or waterski or just want to take part, this center is the place for you. They also hire out bicycles. Liberan is a friendly and good place to approach. We were well looked after and used the wakeboarding boat and enjoyed it hugely. IGOR is a star and is highly recommended. The whole place has a helpful feel and they provide good entertainment and kit.” -Harry T, UAE
