World class surf lessons

The surf lessons were built from the best practices of highly-regarded surf schools in France and of the International Surfing Association. Your “surf passport” booklet allows you to keep track of your lessons and helps you remember what you learned every day during the surf trip such as take-offs, turns, balance, duck dive, wave reading, safety, surf etiquette, and a lot more.

You will be assisted by experienced coaches that speak English and French and by local surf coaches that speak English and Spanish. There will be a maximum of three students in the water per coach for a safe experience. Depending on surf conditions, the ratio can go two-to-one or one-on-one.

The names of the surf spots are kept a secret to preserve them from the crowds which allow for more space in the ocean to ensure safe and enjoyable sessions.

If you want to experience adrenaline-filled out-of-the-ordinary moments, some optional activities are available for the adrenaline junkies or just for the people who want to conquer their fear of heights and push their limits.
