So come and join our France Surf summer camp in Les Landes and experience a week with lots of surfing!

The Surf Lessons

Our daily surf lesson is for all levels from total beginners. In this region the surf lessons can only be done at low tide so this when our surf lesson will take place each day.  The other activities are focused to enhance your qualities for sport, improve your fitness and above all to have fun and live this Teens Surf Camp in France, the best experience of your life!! Because we are limited by our French operator in the amount of surf lessons we can provide, we offer 1 extra activity related to surfing most days (Apnea, Surf rescue, Strength and conditioning, Surf skate technique, Popup technique, Video correction)

If you are an experienced surfer and bring your own surf board you have to take the Elite Surf Training. See conditions underneath.

High Performance (Elite) Surf Training with former Champion of France

If you are an experienced surfer and have your own board you need to do the “Elite, High Performance Surf Training”

You need to be 100% independent in the water, paddle out the back, duck dive, and surf left and rights.

Every year the surf level of the kids that come to the Nomad Surf Camps is increasing and we are getting more and more kids from all over the world which are no longer beginners. These are kids who have their own boards, who can paddle out on their own, who can duck dive and start to do some good turns. If you are one of these, and wish to start Shredding, then the best thing you can do is get onboard with the High Performance surf Trainning under the instruction of professional surf coach Ugo Robin.

There will be two surf sessions per day between Seignosse (*conditions apply), Capbreton, Vieux Boucau and Hossegor.

Same as the professional surfers our surf training is majority focused in studying the footage through Video correction. You will be recorded 5 sessions per week during your free surf sessions. Then the coach will carefully analyse your waves and show them to you on his iPad. Together you will work on exercises in and out of the water to improve those bad habits and take your surfing to the next level.

✔ Functional Training for surfing: Additional physical exercises to improve your Stamina, Balance, coordination, Timing, Physical condition and obviously your surfing.

✔ Stretching: Specific and fundamental Stretching exercises to help you perform radical surfing maneuvers and basic and avoid injuries.

✔ Surf Skate exercises: We will train you to carve rail to rail on our surf-skateboards which are skateboards with a front truck that moves sideways to simulate the turns of a surfboard or snowboard. We have a surf skate ramp at the surf camp.

Ugo Robin is from Reunion Island where he started surfing at the age of six on the beaches of the West. Immediately, a real passion was born. He started his first competitions at eight years old. He got first place on his favorite spot of Trois Bassins which marks the beginning of his journey.
