About this tour
A two-hour private surf session for two in Biarritz, the Basque country's premier break. Your instructor meets you at this refined coastal town on France's southwest shore, kitting you out with wetsuit and board before hitting the water. Whether you're paddling out for the first time or refining your pop-up, you'll work at your own pace on waves that have drawn surfers here for decades. Transport is arranged, though local buses serve the area if you prefer.
Highlights
- One-on-one coaching tailored to your ability
- Biarritz's quality Atlantic waves and consistent swell

- Private transport included
- Accessible to all fitness levels
- Basque coastal town atmosphere beyond the lesson
What to expect
You'll be collected and taken to the beach, where your guide runs through the fundamentals—paddle technique, board positioning, reading the swell. Most of the two hours happens in the water. Expect a mix of instruction and practice, with your instructor watching your progress and offering adjustments. The rhythm feels less like a fitness class and more like a mate showing you the ropes. Biarritz's beaches vary in conditions; you'll surf whichever suits the day's swell and your level.
Good to know
Bring a towel and dry clothes. The Atlantic stays cool year-round; wetsuits are essential. Public buses run nearby if you'd rather arrange your own way. No experience needed. Book in advance during peak season.
