The first day surfing in France<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore the lesson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can arrive at your first surfing lesson in France by car, which is undoubtedly a practical solution, as there are usually numerous car parks near the beach. Trains are also very efficient in France and there is a train station in every village. Once in town, you can take a bus to the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Flip flops<\/li>
- Dry clothes and swimwear<\/li>
- Sunscreen<\/li>

Your instructor will accompany you step by step, to face your first waves without fear. Normally, the instructor will supervise a maximum of 10 people at the same time, in order to give everyone the right amount of attention. Although you will want to ride waves like they do in the movies right away, you\u2019ll need some patience, as it takes time and a lot of practice to become a good surfer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the first day<\/strong>, these are the things you are typically able to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n- You will be able to bodyboard to move correctly in the ocean<\/li>
- You will be able to catch a wave, while lying down<\/li>
- You will begin to try to catch very low waves, while standing up<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Beginners are normally advised to take at least three consecutive days of lessons<\/strong> to learn and get used to all the movements. Don’t worry, if you stick with it, you will make visible progress, and at the end of your holiday, you will be able to show your friends the photos of you conquering the waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter 3 days,<\/strong> you will usually be able to do many more things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n- You will be able to catch slightly bigger waves with more confidence.<\/li>
- You will understand the tide and wind better, and surf waves close to the coast<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
And after 5 days<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n- You will be able to ride the wave standing up.<\/li>
- You will be able to understand currents and therefore how to move around the ocean safely<\/li>
- Be able to go a little deeper into the sea<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
After the lesson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Surf schools in France offer showers after lessons. In some cases, you will receive photos of your lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
… and surfing in France for children? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
From the age of 6, all children are welcome at surf schools in France. The surf instructors know how to handle young athletes and teach them how to surf in a fun and playful way. Surfing lessons are a great way to make new friends and have fun while on holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n
