Details
Are you in the vicinity of Bordeaux? Lacanau is the surf spot of your holiday! All year round, your children can try surfing with us. Our lessons are specially designed for them, in small groups of a maximum of 8 participants of similar level, and focus on learning by doing. They are supervised by one of our state-qualified instructors, all former top athletes, who will adapt their pedagogy for optimal supervision. They will stay with them in the water throughout the session for a safe practice and the opportunity to take as many waves as possible. No doubt your children will be delighted by this first experience of surfing!
Meeting & Preparation
We meet directly at our store 10 min before the lessons starts. If you arrive by car, parking is widely available nearby. Your children will already have their bathing suit on them, otherwise cabins are at their disposal on site to change. Once their wetsuit is put on and their surfboard picked up, they go to the beach with their instructor, 200 m away.
Start time
The start time depends on the tides to ensure the best conditions, so please plan some extra time on the day of your surf lessons. The exact start times are available 1 week in advance. We will inform you in time after you have completed the booking.
