In the south of the Landes region, Capbreton boasts a coastline renowned for its sandbanks sculpted by the Atlantic swell, situated right next to the famous underwater gully that alters the dynamics of the swell along the Landes coast. It is here, facing the vastness of the ocean, that your journey into surfing begins. The Capbreton Surfer school draws on four key spots: Santocha, Le Prévent, La Centrale and La Piste. Every day, the instructors carefully select the best spot to ensure the most favourable conditions, based on the tide times and wave size, for an ideal learning session with your feet in the water.

Your water sports excursion begins at the school’s shop, where you’ll be kitted out with all the necessary equipment, including a suitable board and a wetsuit. After walking to the chosen beach, the session begins with a muscle warm-up and a careful assessment of the water conditions to understand how the currents and wave sets work. Next, you’ll practise the key movements on the sand: your position on the board, effective paddling and the motion for standing up. Once in the ocean, in a safe area where you can touch the bottom, your state-qualified instructor will guide you personally to help you make your first take-offs and ride the whitewater.

Surf lessons in Capbreton are specially designed to suit your pace and technical ability, whether you’re coming for your first taste of the sport or to hone your skills. Group sessions are kept small to ensure a safe learning environment, whilst private lessons offer personalised, tailor-made guidance to help you progress even faster. The equipment provided is carefully selected to ensure optimal buoyancy and reassuring stability right from your very first attempt.

The school is open every day from the start of the Easter school holidays until the end of the All Saints’ Day holidays, right in the heart of the ideal season for board sports in the South-West. Book your surfing lesson in Capbreton now and discover the joy of riding the waves off the Landes coast!
