World Class Waves on your Doorstep
Surf Guiding
Included in our surf house package is Surf Guiding. In a broader sense, surf guiding is us planning and organising each day around the surf. We take into account the surf conditions and everyone’s ability to choose the best times and spots to surf. The boards and wetsuits are loaded up into our trusty surf truck “Dorry” and those that are keen to join can grab a bike or take a quick stroll to the beach. At the beach our surf guides will get you on the right board and give you a brief rundown of the surf spot to ensure everyone is comfortable. Simply put; Imagine surfing with a bunch of friends who know the best times and spots to surf.
Our Surf Guiding is for everyone who is comfortable paddling for and catching their own waves (even the white water). If are new to surfing, or you feel like you need a quick refresh on the fundamentals, we highly recommend at least one Surf Lesson (see below). If you are a seasoned surfer and just want to score some barrels, that's fine too, with numerous guides and vehicles we can make sure everyone is where they need to be.
With no fixed time schedules or agendas, we can be surfing from Sunrise to Sunset. On a typical summers day we would set up a camp at the beach and commence the surf-eat-siesta-repeat cycle. Everyone is then free to come and go as they please choosing which sessions they would like to join in on. It provides a very relaxed surf environment whilst always having someone to surf with. If the surf turns bad, we will always try to fit another fun activity in for those who are keen to join.
Equipment
The Surf House has a top-of-the-line foamie surfboard collection ranging from 5"10’ fun boards up into 9ft wave catching machines. We are all foamie enthusiasts and are convinced it’s the best and most fun way to surf here in Hossegor. If you are unsure which board you need, don’t worry we will get you on the best suited board for your goals, whether it be learning to turn or catching the most waves possible. If you are after a performance short board we recommend hiring from Awayco. We can drive you to pick it up/drop you it off no problem.
We also have a selection of quality wetsuits ranging from short spring suits to full length steamers perfect those cooler months. Don’t worry most of the summer its board shorts and bikinis. Every guest will also have a beach cruiser bike available to them which is the perfect way to get to and from the beach. All our foam surf boards, wetsuits and bikes are all included in the price! The only things you might need is swimmers, sun cream, and a towel (we even have those too if you forget).
Surf Lessons
For Surf Lessons, we use Ecole de Surf Cote Francaise or ESCF, who are located at one of our local beaches; Les Bourdaines. There you will learn everything from surfing's basics; carrying your surfboard, attaching the leash, paddling, popping up, and reading and anticipating waves. You will also cover surf etiquette and beach safety. This is a much more hands-on approach, with 1 surf instructor per 8 people maximum who will be right there with you helping every step of the way.
Just to clarify, Surf Lessons are not included in our Surf House package, but we are more than happy to reserve them for you (you will be prompted when booking). This is then paid directly to the Surf School when you do your lessons. Surf Lessons are 90 minutes long, then for the rest of the day you can jump back into our Surf Guiding with the rest of the crew.
