Kids surf lessons in Capbreton
Lessons designed for children on the safest beach of the Landes coast.
Why Capbreton is perfect for kids
Plage des Océanides (Santocha) in Capbreton is the ideal spot to introduce children to surfing. Thanks to the underwater geology that creates a natural filter, the waves are gentler and more consistent than in Hossegor or Seignosse, providing safe conditions for young surfers.
Our state-certified instructors are experienced in teaching children. They adapt the teaching approach, time in the water and exercises to each child's age and level. The goal: have fun, build confidence and catch those first waves!

Is the beach safe for children?
