Surf lessons on the mythical site of La Torche

Kevin and Stephen guide you, accompany you and transmit their practical knowledge. Native to the region, they are qualified and experienced surf instructors. BBrother Surf School received the "French Surf School" label in 2024. The federal label guarantees: - Quality teaching by qualified professionals; - safe supervision - suitable equipment in good condition - a federal passport at the end of the internship. The surf school provides all the necessary equipment for the practice. The surf lessons last 2 hours and are collective. Groups are small and do not exceed 8 students. The service provides access to showers and changing rooms of the surf school in front of the beach. The BBrother surf school is designed and organized as a small structure. The main interest is to be able to keep flexibility for surf lesson schedules. The influence of tides has the effect of impoverishing wave conditions at certain times of the day. Surf lessons are all held at or near high tide. As a result, the B.Brother Surf School only offers classes for part of the day to ensure optimal practice conditions. Surf lessons are taught in English and German by Kevin and Stephen.

Meeting point in GYG app was wrong. Correct one came by email. Appointment was moved to 11am because of the tides. The booked German-speaking teacher wasn't there, but an English-speaking substitute was also good. Wetsuit kept warm even at 22 degrees. 2-hour lesson length was fine. Kids had a lot of fun. Hence 5 stars. Would happily do it again.

Everything went really well. The two surf instructors are very pleasant people who come across as very professional. At least they made surfing fun for my two sons. I can only recommend the surf school to everyone.
