All our courses are suitable for all generations, regardless of their age (from 6 years on) and skill set: beginner, intermediate or advanced. The advanced technical courses are generally held during the week (M-F). We schedule our classes according to weather conditions and tides to guarantee quality lessons.

The teaching process adopted by our coaches with kids revolves around a few simple principles : Fun, games and security. From the basic one-time class to the 5-day course, we adapt our courses and teaching methods to suit each child, through a playful and secure approach and establishing personal goals. For their comfort and to improve in good conditions, every child is equipped with a foam board and a full-body wetsuit.

We also feel it is important to go beyond the pleasure of surfing by bringing awareness to our surfer students of how to protect and respect the environment and its fragile eco-system and to strengthen their knowledge and understanding of the surrounding features (wave formation, how to evaluate a surf spot, spot sand banks and rip currents…).
Participants will stay in comfortable cabins/lodges accommodating between 4-5 people, in a natural setting, in which you can also experience the charming peace typical of the Landes. Our surf camps happen twice throughout the year, at Easter time and Halloween. These are good periods of the year, since it’s not crowded and during which we are best able to take you on the wave hunt in and around places like Seignosse, Hossegor, Capbreton, Biarritz, Hendaye.
