Biarritz private surf lessons: 30 years of instruction

Learn to surf from someone who has taught thousands

A private 90-minute surf lesson on Marbella beach in Biarritz with board, wetsuit and an instructor who brings 30 years of experience to the water. You warm up on the sand, receive safety and technical instruction at the shore, then practice in the water with the instructor alongside you the whole time.

The experience

Ninety minutes on the water means you spend real time learning instead of watching a demonstration. The instructor meets you at Marbella beach in Biarritz, walks through the safety rules and the mechanics of surfing on the sand first, then takes you into the water to practice. Because it's a private lesson, the pace and focus stay on what you need, whether that's balance, paddling, popping up or reading the break.

The board and wetsuit are included, so you arrive ready to start. The instructor stays in the water with you the entire session, not watching from the shore. Public transportation runs near the beach, and pickup is arranged as part of the booking.

What’s included

• Board and wetsuit.

Is this one for you?The 90-minute format gives you real practice time in the water rather than a quick introduction: suited to anyone who wants to actually learn to surf, not just try it once. The instructor stays alongside you the whole time, which means feedback happens as you're learning, not after.
