We meet 45 minutes before the start of the lesson at our base in Arcachon. From there we will take you to the beach for your surf lessons.

Last week, we did a one-day surf-course with the It's On Surf School and we had a blast! The energy was great, everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. Even though we both never surfed before, we were both able to catch a couple of waves by ourselves and to actually surf for a short time – such an amazing experience, that is mainly due to our trainer, who was both encouraging and giving really good individual advice. Language mix between English and French was no problem, the group was nice, the transport from Arcachon to the Beach really convenient and chill – we 100% recommend!
