Surf with friends and family for an exceptional moment in Lacanau.
Would you like to celebrate a future bride or groom, a birthday or a special day out with your friends?
At Big Mama Surfschool, we’ll turn your group of friends and family into a real tribe of surfers for a day (or more), in an ultra-friendly, fun and 100% ocean atmosphere.
Whether you’re an EVJF/EVG team on a surprise mission, a merry band of mates or a family looking for shared memories, our group surf lessons are designed to give you an unforgettable collective experience.
On the programme: energetic sessions supervised by passionate instructors, equipment adapted to each individual, personalised advice… and lots of laughs when it’s time to get up on the board.
You don’t need to be an athlete: here, you discover yourself, you encourage each other, you laugh – and you create salty, sunny memories… and above all, lasting ones. It’s the perfect way to bond a group, share a collective thrill… and leave with a head full of good vibes.
Important: we can also tailor-make your stay to include accommodation, other activities and restaurant and evening bookings.
