Would you like to unite your staff, breathe new energy into your team or offer your students an original and rewarding activity?
At Big Mama Surfschool, we’ll transform your group into a united team of surfers for a session (or more), in a relaxed, motivating and 100% ocean atmosphere.
Whether you’re a company in team-building mode, a school on an educational outing or a group at a seminar looking for a highlight, our group surfing lessons are designed to provide a memorable collective experience.
On the programme: dynamic sessions supervised by experienced instructors, top-notch equipment, advice to suit everyone… and often a few good laughs in the process.
Important: we can also tailor-make your stay to include accommodation, other activities and restaurant and evening bookings.
