FAQ
Before book, If you have any questions about our guided surf trips in Hossegor, please do not hesitate to contact us.
What is a surf guide in Hossegor?
A Hossegor surf guide is much more than just an instructor. They know the beaches, sandbanks and local conditions inside out. Their role is to take you to the best spots according to the swell, the tide and your level, while ensuring your safety.
At Surf Guides Hossegor, every outing is designed as a real surfing adventure: wave analysis, reading the water, choice of equipment, coaching in real-life situations... You'll enjoy a full day or half-day 100 % adapted to your needs and your progress.
Who can benefit from sessions with a surf guide?
Guided outings are open to all levels, from beginner to advanced surfer.
> If you're a beginner, the guide will help you catch your first waves safely and understand the basics (position, timing, wave reading).
> If you already have some experience, the aim will be to perfect your technique, discover new spots and surf in more varied conditions.
Raph, your surf guide in Hossegor, adapts each session to your pace, level and personal objectives.
What's the difference between a surf lesson and a guided outing?
A classic surf lesson generally takes place on a fixed spot with a group of students and targeted technical training.
An outing with a Hossegor surf guide is a much more complete experience:
> You go in search of the best waves of the day
> Discover a number of local spots between Hossegor, Seignosse, Capbreton and the Basque Country
> You benefit from individual or small-group coaching, sometimes filmed to analyse your surfing.
> A total immersion in Landes surf culture
It's the ideal option for those who want to progress while exploring.
Where do surfing trips take place in the Landes?
Surf Guides Hossegor excursions take place mainly on the beaches of Hossegor, Seignosse and Capbreton, renowned for the quality and diversity of their waves.
Depending on the weather and your preferences, the guide can also take you further south, towards Anglet or Biarritz, to vary the types of waves and sandbanks.
Journeys are made by private minibus, with pick-up from your accommodation or a pre-defined meeting point.
What equipment is included in a session?
We've got everything you need to make the most of your day!
Surf Guides Hossegor provides surfboards adapted to your level, as well as wetsuits, booties, bonnets and gloves depending on the season.
> You can of course bring your own equipment if you prefer.
The aim: to focus solely on what's essential - the pleasure of surfing and making progress.
