Weekend package
Two sessions in two days to get the most out of your time and make rapid progress!
Weekend surf lessons in Lacanau-Océan
With friends or as a couple, come and enjoy a sporty, iodine-filled break, punctuated by waves and good humour.
With two surf sessions over the weekend, you’ll have plenty of time to learn, make progress and, above all, have fun. The first session lays the foundations, the second gets you off the ground – literally. It’s the perfect combination for feeling the evolution in the blink of an eye (and a well-placed take-off).
At Big Mama Surfschool, we take you seriously but don’t let you get in over your head. We offer tailored advice, a relaxed atmosphere and a team that’s always motivated to give you an experience that’s as fun as it is effective.
The result: memories, laughter… and maybe a new passion. So, shall we save you a board for this weekend?
