What better place to learn to surf or improve your technique than the beach of the Côte des Basques in Biarritz, a real surfing paradise? With its 800 m of beach and waves adapted to all levels, an exceptional setting awaits you for your surfing lessons in Biarritz.

Meeting & PreparationThe time of the courses changes every day with the tides, so you will have contacted us the day before to find out the exact time of the course (they can take place from 7 am to 10 pm). The first day of the lessons, we meet at our office on the beach promenade 15 minutes before the start of the lesson (if you arrive by car, parking is widely available nearby). A large bag awaits your belongings and a locked locker your valuables. Then you will get to know your instructor and discuss your level with him. You can try on your suit and get the surfboard that suits you according to your age, your level and the quality of the waves. Finally, off to the beach. Each lesson lasts 1.5 hour but in case you book a lesson for 3 hours, you will have a break before doing the second session.
