Considered the best beach break (sandy waves) on the continent, the southern coast of Landes has not become by chance the epicenter of European surfing. From Moliets in the North to Labenne in the South, more than thirty kilometers of coastline take the full brunt of the generous swells of the Bay of Biscay...

Spots for all levels
North of Seignosse, the superb beach breaks of the spots of Moliets, Messanges, Vieux-Boucau, offer magnificent long and hollow waves.

Experienced professionals
Wise advice
Before putting on the wetsuit, it is welcome to get as much advice as possible, to exchange ideas, to meet people so that the experience becomes perfect. Taking a lesson with a professional invites you to practice but also to meet and also teaches codes, priorities and respect for water. Surf schools, rental or equipment sales shops, surf shops, surf houses, etc. the world of surfing is vast and easy to meet so you can fully enjoy the session with the right gestures and good practices. Equipment is also an important subject to discuss with them.

Find the board of your dreams
To the south of Landes we find a concentration of specialized and general public shops. We rent equipment there for the day, for the week... Wetsuits, new or used boards, wax, it's all there! Surf shops and skate shops abound in the Pédebert business park in Soorts-Hossegor. Well known because it has long hosted the unboxing sales of the biggest surf brands during the Easter weekend. The seafronts and town centers of coastal resorts also have their dedicated stores. Artisan shapers create custom boards. Go meet them to find your happiness.
All-season sessions
Warm for a cold spell
The image of surfing is dreamy and fits perfectly with the heat and summer atmospheres. However, surfing is all year round. The equipment, the presence of professionals and above all, the waves help to erase the cliché of an activity limited to the August sun. Come on, what if we offered you a little winter surfing? Warm for a cold snap?

Breaking the codes by breaking the waves
And let's dispel another belief: surfing is accessible to everyone, young and old, new athletes and even people with reduced mobility.
