Private Surf Lesson for 2 in Biarritz – 2 Hour Experience

Summary

Learn to Surf Together on Biarritz’s Basque Coast

If you want to try surfing in Biarritz without feeling lost in a crowd, this private lesson is spot-on. You’ll get real tips from someone who knows these waves inside out—and there’s nothing like sharing your first ride with a friend beside you.

What’s the experience like?

Salt in the air, boards under our arms—we met our instructor right on Côte des Basques beach. The morning was cool but not cold, with that salty breeze you only get here. Our guide, Pierre, handed us wetsuits and gave a quick rundown about the tides and how the waves break differently depending on where you stand. He’s been surfing these waters since he was a kid—knows every current and sandbar by heart.

We started with a warm-up on the sand—nothing too serious, just enough to get the blood moving. Pierre watched how we moved and adjusted his tips to match our level (I’m a total beginner; my friend’s got a bit more experience). He showed us how to pop up fast, where to put our feet, even little tricks for paddling out without getting smacked by the whitewater. I could smell fresh coffee from a nearby café mixing with sunscreen as we practiced.

Once we hit the water, it felt different—more alive than I expected. The first few tries were messy (I wiped out hard), but Pierre cheered us on from just a few meters away. He’d call out advice between sets: “Wait for this one!” or “Keep your eyes up!” By the end of the session, both of us managed to ride at least one wave all the way in. We finished with a quick debrief back on shore—Pierre pointed out what we did well and what to work on next time. Sand everywhere, but huge grins.
