Five 90‑minute lessons for initiation and progression
The program is delivered as a cycle of five 1.5‑hour sessions designed both for those discovering surf and for riders looking to refine technique.

What the day feels like
How the five‑session cycle feels
Across five focused sessions you alternate shore‑based drills and in‑water repetition: warmups and technical instruction from the shore, then guided paddles and catches in the breaking zone under the eye of a state‑qualified instructor. Sessions are organized around the local sea conditions so you’ll experience the characteristic Landes waves and currents while progressing through initiation to refinement.
