Kids Surf Lessons in Capbreton

We welcome children from age 8 for surf lessons. At that age, they generally have the coordination and stamina to fully enjoy the activity. For younger children, bodyboarding can be an excellent alternative.

Yes, being able to swim is essential for safety. We recommend that your child can swim 25 metres and is comfortable putting their head underwater. Lessons take place in shallow areas, but swimming ability is still necessary.

Absolutely! We form age-appropriate groups: 9-12 years (Kids) and 13+ (Teens/Adults). This allows us to adapt the teaching style and exercise intensity for each group.

All equipment is included: foam surfboards sized for their height and weight (very stable and safe), a wetsuit in their size, and a rash guard. Children just need to bring their swimwear.

Safety is our top priority. All our instructors are state-certified and trained in first aid. Groups are limited to 8 children per instructor. We select the safest conditions and the most suitable zones for kids' lessons.

The lesson lasts 2 hours: fun warm-up on the beach, learning the moves on the sand (position, balance), then a gradual transition into the water. Children learn to ride the whitewater, then pop up on the board. It's all delivered in a supportive, encouraging atmosphere!

If your child is genuinely anxious in the water, it's best to first build their confidence at the pool or at the beach with the family. Our instructors are patient and kind, but a basic level of water comfort is needed for a positive experience.

Yes! Santocha offers annual memberships with weekly training sessions. It's the ideal path for children who want to progress consistently and eventually join the club's competitive section.
