sunset or sunrise session
Surf, golden light and good vibes guaranteed – morning or evening, it’s up to you!
Surfing lessons at sunrise or sunset in Lacanau-Océan
What if you did more than surf… and experienced a suspended moment? With our Sunrise or Sunset package, Big Mama Surfschool offers you an unforgettable experience: a session at sunrise or sunset, when the golden light caresses the ocean and the spot is calm again.
Fewer people in the water, better conditions, a calmer atmosphere… it’s the perfect time to connect with the moment, with yourself, and of course with the wave. Whether you’re an early riser or someone who likes to hang around at the end of the day, these sessions are an opportunity to surf differently.
The teaching remains the same: friendly, supervised and adapted to your level. But the energy is unique. A truly timeless bubble, to start or end the day on a magical note.
A word of advice: keep your eyes wide open between two take-offs.
