Location
The area of Landes, southwestern France, is 230 km of sandy beaches and great waves, from Bordeaux to Bayonne. The entire coast is lined with sand dunes and pine groves, surf towns are connected by bike paths and paths. There is a pleasant summer surfing atmosphere everywhere – it is not in vain that this area is called California of Europe. The most famous city is Hossegor, which annually hosts the Quicksilver Pro France World Cup at the end of September. Hossegor is renowned not only for great surfing conditions, but also for great ice cream, cafes, bars, restaurants and surf shops. Our surf resort is located in the holiday village of Seignosse, 1.6 km away, near the Les Estagnots and Les Bourdaines surf spots. The beachbreak, where lessons will be held, is suitable for both beginners and advanced, and you can easily go to the beach in neoprene. Accommodation is just five minutes walk across the resort and the sand dune. The Landes area is also famous for the spa town of Biaritz or further south of San Sebastian, Spain.

FAQ
Can I participate in the surfcamp if I go alone?
Certainly yes, you won’t be the only one, many participants go single and some even go double 🙂 We always connect you all before the trip, so you can travel together and there is a common program in place. We will put you in a room with other individuals or smaller groups, so you really don’t have to be afraid to go out alone.
I have never surfed, can I still participate?
All our surfcamps are designed for complete beginners as well as more advanced surfers. However, the vast majority are complete beginners like you, so don’t worry, you won’t be alone.
Who will I live with if I am not traveling in a larger group?
We always try to divide participants into boys’ and girls’ rooms, if you want your own room, you have to pay the difference for an unoccupied bed.
Is the surfcamp program mandatory and do I have to participate in everything?
The whole program is optional, so if you feel tired or just want to chill, let us know, put your feet up in a hammock or relax on the beach. Do you have a holiday:)
