The Experience

Salt in the air, sand between my toes—Marbella Beach in Biarritz feels like it’s made for surfing. We met our instructor just past the little snack bar, wetsuits and boards already lined up on the pebbly sand. He’s been teaching here for three decades, so you get this sense he knows every wave by name. The Atlantic breeze was cool that morning, but not biting—just enough to wake you up.

Before we even touched the water, we got a quick rundown on safety and how to read the waves. I liked that he pointed out where the currents shift near the rocks—something you’d miss if you weren’t local. We did some warm-ups right there on the beach, stretching while watching a couple of regulars paddle out further down. Then came the technical bit: how to pop up, where to put your feet, all explained in plain French and English (he switches easily between both).

Once we hit the water, our instructor was right beside us—literally waist-deep, calling out tips as each set rolled in. The first time I managed to stand up (for about three seconds), he cheered louder than anyone else on the beach. There’s something about learning from someone who’s spent their life here; you pick up little tricks you won’t find online or in big group lessons.
