To launch their business, Olivier and Aur\u00e9lien invited us to try out one of their brand-new <strong>California Beach T6s<\/strong>. So we packed up our surfboards, wetsuits and swimsuits and headed off to the depths of Spain! Come and meet <strong>VanBreak<\/strong>!  <span id=\"more-1640\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>VanBreak Malaga: Presentation<\/h2>\n<p>The two founders met 5 years ago when they moved to <strong>Malaga<\/strong> for work. After criss-crossing the Andalusian coast, these two travel and ride enthusiasts (kiting, surfing and mountain biking) have just created <strong>VanBreak<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The idea: to enable everyone to live in complete autonomy, sleeping directly on the spot and being the first in the water in the morning: in the best place at the best time, the goal of all surfers (kiteurs). But you don&#8217;t have to be a rider! VanBreak is for everyone. Olivier and Aur\u00e9lien have chosen the latest T6 model: a top-of-the-range, ultra-comfortable van designed to provide maximum service in an ultra-compact, easy-to-use format. This ultra-compact California model can be used for camping in the wilderness or in city parking lots (to visit the Alhambra in Granada or Seville, for example).    <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Rental VW California van Spain<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With a <strong>minimum<\/strong> rental of <strong>3 days<\/strong> (in low season and 5 days in high season), you can cover as many kilometers as you like (in Europe), and even go as far as Portugal if you like!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>VanBreak is conveniently located <strong>10 minutes from Malaga airport<\/strong>, which offers regular low-cost flights from Toulouse, Bordeaux, Paris, Brussels and everywhere else in Europe from June onwards! Olivier and Aur\u00e9lien offer a shuttle service. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No need to bring all your surf or paddle gear with you: VanBreak offers you the <strong>option of renting<\/strong> inflatable paddles, surfboards, kites&#8230; whatever you want, thanks to our various partners along the coast. You can even book bikes or an extra tent if there are more than 4 of you. In short, if you have any special requests, just ask (sleeping bag, bath towel, paddle, bike, bike rack, tent, WIFI)!   Olivier and Aur\u00e9lien will be happy to try and answer them.  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/goofycocvw.cluster003.ovh.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-emoji-one\/icons\/1F609.png?zoom=2&amp;resize=16%2C16\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/goofycocvw.cluster003.ovh.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-emoji-one\/icons\/1F609.png?zoom=2&amp;resize=16%2C16\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"http:\/\/goofycoconut.com\/jai-teste-vanbreak\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"J\u2019ai test\u00e9 VanBreak\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/goofycocvw.cluster003.ovh.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-emoji-one\/icons\/1F609.png?resize=16%2C16\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For our part, we opted for the<strong>paddle option <\/strong>, and it&#8217;s well worth it! We found some lovely spots to paddle on turquoise waters, all alone in the world. <strong>Decathlon&#8217;s ITIWIT inflatable paddles<\/strong> are available for hire, which gave me the chance to try out this model, which is extremely practical to use (inflates in 10 minutes, optimized storage, can be carried in a backpack (no more than a 20-minute walk, though), can even be used as a &#8220;longboard&#8221; on small waves, and is the perfect size for SUP Yoga!   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reservations for the van and options are made 100% online on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanbreak.com\/van-et-camping-car\/#ocean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Vanbreak<\/strong><\/a>which is extremely practical. 3 vans with different equipment are available (but the fleet will soon expand): 1 OCEAN (with built-in kitchen) and 2 BEACH (without kitchen, but with all camping gear supplied). <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Goofy Coconut&#8217;s opinion&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As die-hard fans of this way of traveling, <strong>we loved VanBreak<\/strong>! Making the van experience accessible to all travelers is brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Available and accommodating, after giving us a great demonstration of how to use the van, Olivier and Aur\u00e9lien gave us great advice on the places not to miss on our itinerary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for the vehicle itself, the T6 <strong>California Beach<\/strong> is a real gem in every respect: a super-smooth ride, space optimization with the <strong>swiveling seats<\/strong> and <strong>numerous storage compartments<\/strong>, the auxiliary battery for recharging phones and cameras&#8230; and the electric cooler (so practical!). We had quite a mess (our 2 surfboards, the paddle, the skates, the suitcases&#8230;) and yet there was still plenty of room! <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The must-have for us was the <strong>pop-top roof<\/strong>! What a pleasure to sleep in the fresh air, with your head in the trees, under the stars and with a view! It really is the best! <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for the rest, we lacked nothing: <strong>all cooking equipment was provided<\/strong>, outdoor table and chairs, portable shower, first-aid kit &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We criss-crossed the <strong>Costa de la Luz<\/strong> and in this area, we really had no problem sleeping wherever we wanted! It&#8217;s quite a change from the coastline of the Landes region, and apparently it&#8217;s the same all over <strong>Andalusia<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>East of Gibraltar<\/strong>, we often had trouble finding water for the shower\/dishes, with gas stations refusing to sell us any. So a word of advice if you&#8217;re going there, stock up (beach showers can be very useful in such cases). <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The best time to visit Andalusia is from April to the end of November. The advantage is that temperatures never drop below 10\u00b0C on the coldest winter days, with over <strong>300 days of sunshine a year<\/strong>. Travel by van is therefore perfectly suited (the heating option is also available).  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Useful information<\/h1>\n<p><b>Article Original : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goofycoconut.com\/jai-teste-vanbreak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.goofycoconut.com\/jai-teste-vanbreak\/<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<div><strong>Instagram<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/goofycoconut.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@hehody<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>Facebook:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/goofycoconut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=fr&amp;q=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Vanbreak.spain\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1496819528129000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH9Lc0GBSQwbNh1KdyC7r21qtd6ug\"><wbr><\/wbr>Vanbreak.spain\/<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>Website<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goofycoconut.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=fr&amp;q=https:\/\/www.vanbreak.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1496819528129000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGwW30tF1izods6HqfAzk5QeGpL5A\">www.goofycoconut.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row section_type=&#8221;fullwidth&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;color&#8221; padding_top_multiplier=&#8221;&#8221; columns_gap=&#8221;none&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221;][vc_column]\t\t\t<div class=\"grve-element grve-social grve-align-center\" style=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Goofy%20Coconut%20has%20rented%20his%20converted%20van%20from%20VanBreak,%20find%20out%20why?&#038;body=Goofy%20Coconut%20has%20rented%20his%20converted%20van%20from%20VanBreak,%20find%20out%20why?:%20https:\/\/www.vanbreak.com\/en\/goofy-coconut-has-rented-his-converted-van-from-vanbreak-find-out-why\/\" title=\"Goofy Coconut has rented his converted van from VanBreak, find out why?\" class=\"grve-small grve-circle grve-with-shape grve-simple grve-bg-primary-4 grve-social-share-email\" aria-label=\"Share with E-mail\"><i class=\"grve-text-primary-1 fa fa-envelope\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanbreak.com\/en\/goofy-coconut-has-rented-his-converted-van-from-vanbreak-find-out-why\/\" title=\"Goofy Coconut has rented his converted van from VanBreak, find out why?\" class=\"grve-small grve-circle grve-with-shape grve-simple grve-bg-primary-4 grve-social-share-facebook\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\"><i class=\"grve-text-primary-1 fa fa-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanbreak.com\/en\/goofy-coconut-has-rented-his-converted-van-from-vanbreak-find-out-why\/\" title=\"Goofy Coconut has rented his converted van from VanBreak, find out why?\" class=\"grve-small grve-circle grve-with-shape grve-simple grve-bg-primary-4 grve-social-share-twitter\" aria-label=\"Share on Twitter\"><i class=\"grve-text-primary-1 fa fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanbreak.com\/en\/goofy-coconut-has-rented-his-converted-van-from-vanbreak-find-out-why\/\" title=\"Goofy Coconut has rented his converted van from VanBreak, find out why?\" class=\"grve-small grve-circle grve-with-shape grve-simple grve-bg-primary-4 grve-social-share-pinterest\" data-pin-img=\"https:\/\/www.vanbreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Goofycoconut-vanbreak.jpg\" aria-label=\"Submit on Pinterest\"><i class=\"grve-text-primary-1 fa fa-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"#\" class=\"grve-small grve-circle grve-with-shape grve-simple grve-bg-primary-4 grve-like-counter-link\" data-post-id=\"24561\"><i class=\"grve-text-primary-1 fa fa-heart\"><\/i><span class=\"grve-like-counter\">0<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea of living in complete autonomy, sleeping directly on the spot and being the first on the water in the morning: in the best place at the best time!
