What Is TYPO3 Surfcamp 2026 All About?
Imagine spending a week coding in the morning and catching waves in the afternoon — that’s TYPO3 Surfcamp 2026 in a nutshell! This unique event combines the best of both worlds: professional TYPO3 development and unforgettable surfing adventures on one of the most beautiful islands on Earth.
The TYPO3 Surfcamp has become a beloved tradition amongst young talents and TYPO3 enthusiasts who want to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and recharge in an inspiring setting. The 2026 edition continues this tradition, offering a balanced mix of productivity, relaxation, and pure fun.
The Perfect Mix of Code and Waves
There’s no strict schedule - instead, the event flows naturally with the rhythm of the ocean. On days with perfect waves, you might start your morning in the sea and dive into coding sessions later in the day. When the sea is calm, you’ll have time to work on the TYPO3 project in the morning and surf when the tide rises.
Strengthening the TYPO3 Spirit
TYPO3 Surfcamp isn’t just about coding or surfing - it’s about connection. Every year, the camp brings together both experienced developers and young talents who share the same open-source mindset. The goal? To strengthen the TYPO3 community by supporting emerging young professionals and helping them grow through mentorship and collaboration.
It’s this mix of learning, sharing, and bonding that makes the event so special.
When and Where TYPO3 Surfcamp 2026 Takes Place
The next edition of TYPO3 Surfcamp will again take place from April 11 to April 18, 2026, on the island of Fuerteventura. Known for its endless beaches, vibrant surf culture, and relaxed atmosphere, Fuerteventura has become the perfect home for this event.
