Surfing Lessons

  • tailored to suit the abilities and requirements of each participant. Classes are given by certified state-approved instructors from our partner school Hastea in Biarritz
  • Groups: 8 participants maximum per monitor
  • Location: the mythical Côte des Basques beach in Biarritz (5 minutes' walk from the town centre). The beach provides surfers with a wide variety of waves suited to different abilities. Classes are sometimes held at other locations depending upon weather conditions (transport is provided by the surf school)
  • Equipment: supplied by the school (full-length or short wetsuits, boards)
  • Transport: on the first day, an instructor collects you from BLS and takes you to the beach. On other days you make your own way to the location (20 minutes by bus).

General French - objectives and methodology

  • the practice of spoken French in communicative situations and a cultural approach to the language
  • development of linguistic proficiency (written and oral expression / written and oral comprehension / interpersonal communication)
  • communicative methods combining individual development and group dynamics (group work, role plays, etc.)

Groups

  • single-level groups, 8 to 14* students maximum, ensure easy participation and a true group dynamic as well as individual attention from the teacher
    *Occasionally, this number may be exceeded by 1 or 2 due to an unforeseen student placement
