Since 2005, Authentique Surf School has welcomed beginners and progressing surfers in Seignosse, with its summer base on Les Casernes beach.
Why choose surf lessons in South Landes
Surf lessons are designed for first-time surfers as well as those returning to the basics. The session focuses on ocean awareness, safety, positioning, paddling, catching waves and the take-off before moving on to more advanced skills.
South Landes offers a particularly rich stretch of Atlantic coastline for surfing, with Seignosse, Hossegor and Capbreton as major reference points. Authentique teaches within this environment and adapts to local conditions.
Teaching adapted to the ocean conditions
Safety, ocean awareness and teaching adapted to each surfer are central to every session. Lesson times and locations are chosen according to the day’s conditions, tides and the ability of the participants.
Each session begins with an assessment of the ocean and clear safety instructions. Technical work is then adapted to the surfer: positioning, catching waves, standing up, trimming, manoeuvres and becoming more independent.
Seignosse, Les Casernes and South Landes surf spots
Based on the Landes coast, the school has detailed knowledge of sandbanks, currents and changing conditions around Seignosse, Hossegor and Capbreton.
From June to September, the school welcomes surfers directly at its beach hut on Les Casernes beach in Seignosse. Outside the summer period, the team can choose the most suitable spot according to conditions.
Safety, equipment and progression
Suitable equipment is included with surf lessons: a board and wetsuit selected for the conditions and the surfer. This makes it easier to focus on learning, progression and enjoying time in the water.
