- The off-season
The surf lessons are planned on Messanges Beach located nearby the surf camp, you will join the surf instructors with your own means of transport (car, electric fat bike, or bike). Schedules are set according to the tides, which can be changed depending on the weather. The ocean is more capricious in this period, all the team will be ready to make you surf on the best days of conditions, and they won't hesitate to bring you into Basq Country if the forecast is too difficult on or home spot.
Though, the sessions will be set following the ocean humor. The Nature Surf Camp team might propose activities such as Stand Up Paddle, in a way to replace a lesson that could not be done.

The main goal is to reach a certain kind of autonomy take pleasure, respecting each other rhythm.
- Intermediate group
For those who already have surf experience who have notions of standing up and who like to give up foam and take place on the blue waves, performing achieved skills and becoming a confirmed surfer. The video analysis and pedagogy according to the surf conditions and each other wishes.
- Confirmed group
At half tide, they will find a wave really adapted to a very good kind of improvement. For those who like to perform their technical and their autonomy in the ocean. An individual pedagogic follow-up is organized with for instance video analyses, and muscular backup, adapted to each other level.
