We offer quality surf classes taught by certified instructors dedicated to sharing their passion for surfing, while promoting a positive, friendly environment. The school is located at the base of the dunes on the plage Nord in Vieux Boucau, on the Sablères beach: the best spot to surf. A spacious beach with huge sand banks, and a big tidal range, it offers plenty of surf spots for all levels.
The Vieux Boucau surf school is just 30 minutes from the Dax train station and 45 minutes from the Biarritz airport. Vieux Boucau is a small, very relaxed beach resort, popular for its wild, natural surroundings yet not far from Hossegor for those looking for nightlife, and very close to Spain.
Vieux-Boucau offers a variety of natural landscapes ideal for a huge range of sports including surfing, body boards, stand up paddle, sailing, fishing, golf, tennis, quad, horseback riding, biking (with miles of bike paths through the forest and near the sea), and hiking, to mention a few. You will also find a full range of amenities including bars, restaurants, clubs, shops and supermarkets. There’s definitely something for everyone !
Open from Spring vacation to All-Saints day.
