With our teenage daughters, an unforgettable family surf lesson, Romain in the water with us, combining teaching, thrill-seeking and humour. All 4 of us were on our feet after 1? hours of lessons. Thank you Romain and long live the best surf school in Lacanau, Gironde and France.

A big thank you to Romain and his team for the surfing course! My daughters (our children are 9 and 11) were over the moon! They had an excellent week. The instructors listened to them, were very competent and shared their passion with a smile. I highly recommend this surf school, the best activity in Lacanau!

We booked a surf session for a stag party and were very satisfied. Thanks to Romain for his professionalism and the quality of the lessons. Thanks also to the whole team for the tips on our nightlife. Go with your eyes closed.

It was my two 13-year-olds' first experience of surfing at the club. They took 2 hours a day for 5 days and by the end of it, they were proud to stand up on their boards! They loved the atmosphere, the instructors and the North Beach. They want to do it again soon to improve their skills. Mission accomplished, so I recommend it!

Great surf school, you just feel good here. The advice is great and we feel confident going out on the open sea with the instructors with us! We'll definitely be going back! Xabi 16 and Iban 12.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM OUR APPRENTICE SURFERS

I'm not very sporty, can I enrol in your Surf School?

Of course, our specially adapted equipment and fun teaching methods mean that you can discover the ocean in complete safety. If you’re not into sports, your instructor will take as long as it takes, but you’ll have the ride of your life.

What package should I choose for discounted lessons?

We have a wide range of surf lessons to suit all budgets. Off-season group sessions are cheaper than private sessions. You can also opt for courses of 5 sessions spread over the week, considerably reducing the cost of each session. Don’t wait any longer and join the Big Mama Family to get the magic ride of your life.

Does the price of surf lessons include equipment hire?

Our prices include surfboard and wetsuit hire. This new equipment is renewed every year thanks to the sale of second-hand surfboards to our customers and holidaymakers. This ensures that you can enjoy your sessions with complete peace of mind. Don’t wait any longer to ask us for information and book at the best club in the area!

Is it better to choose a group surfing session or a private lesson for the best learning experience?

It all depends on what you want. Group lessons are very convivial and allow the group to emulate each other. The instructor is no less present, taking into account the individuality of each student. Private lessons, on the other hand, are more expensive, but you benefit from an instructor ‘just for you’ and ultra-personalised advice for optimum progress.

Can I be in the same group as someone I know even if I don't have the same level of surfing?

Yes, we offer surfing sessions for families or friends where we welcome people of different levels. Our instructors are very used to this diversity and adapt to give you the instructions best suited to each of you: learn with a smile, with the Mama Surf School.

I've never surfed before and I'm not very sporty. Is it possible to learn to surf?

Of course, surfing is an accessible activity, and we welcome all levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced. If you’ve never surfed before, we’ll start with a few simple exercises on the board before your first ride.

On which beach do our surf lessons take place?

By car (car park opposite the school), by bike or on foot, our surf school is very accessible. The sessions take place on one of the most beautiful beaches in Lacanau Océan and in France. It’s perfectly suited to teaching surfing because it’s away from the other schools on the central beaches.

Is our surf school the best surf school in France?

We work tirelessly on this every day. Highly ranked on reference sites, we are already one of the best in the city, Gironde and France. But our main concern is to give you a crazy ride and an unforgettable experience. Now you can book the best activities in Lacanau Océan.

Join us for an unforgettable holiday experience in Lacanau. Whether you’re on the beach, in the water or riding the waves, you’ll be smiling and riding!
