Meeting & Preparation
We meet at our school at the time agreed upon after booking (free parking is available nearby). On site, changing rooms are available and you have the possibility to store your personal belongings in a locker. We will then provide you with equipment adapted to your level. Afterwards, we go to the beach, 3 minutes away on foot.
Lessons are usually conducted on La Savane Beach but may exceptionally take place on La Prévent Beach if conditions are not optimal.
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. Please contact our school 2 or 3 days before the first lesson to confirm the exact start time.
