Beginner Surf Coaching Trip 14 September 2026

Are you ready to learn how to surf?

Level Up Surf Coaching

Catch your first waves on this beginner surf trip, guided by an experienced coach in a small group. Set in South-West France, with its beautiful beaches and rich surf culture, this is a unique chance for you to learn how to surf.

Before the surf trip

With Level Up, we understand the physical components that contribute to surfing. Prior to this trip, you have the chance to use the Level Up surf training application, in which you will have access to the Level Up surf training program. You can perform the training sessions at home, and by the start of the trip, you will be able to benefit from a physical advantage to catch your first waves.

Beginner surf lessons

Like real surfers, we will look for the best waves in the area to learn surfing. Your expert coach will join you in the water and push you into your first waves. On this trip, it is also possible to rent your own beginner surfboard and a wetsuit at the accommodation. By the end of this surf trip, you will stand up on your surfboard or maybe even surf your first unbroken waves. We will always be with a small group, so everyone gets personal attention during this beginner surf trip!

Workshops

This is not your ordinary beginner surf trip. During this week, your expert coach will give you multiple workshops around all the things true surfers learn. Think of wave mechanics, surf forecasting, board design, paddling technique, and much more. When you finish this week, you will have a broad understanding of what it means to be a surfer, and you will have gathered all the knowledge to continue your surf journey.

Accommodation

Since 2010, Board and Breakfast has received surfers from all over the world. Located in Labenne-Ocean, close to the beach and just 15 minutes from the iconic surf town Hossegor. Equipped with all the facilities a surfer needs, this accommodation is the perfect place for our Level Up beginner surf coaching trip.

Food

Every morning, a fresh breakfast is served. During breakfast, we prepare our lunch to take with us for the day during our search for the best waves. For four nights, a delicious, homemade, warm meal is prepared for us. On the other night, we go out for dinner or make healthy food ourselves in the well-equipped kitchen.

Transportation

During this trip, you will need a car to transport yourself. The house is just 400 meters from the beach, but as surfers, we sometimes need to drive around in the area to search for the best waves. Prior to the trip, we make a group chat with all the participants to discuss carpooling.
