Why an Oxbow Surf School at Naturéo?

"Naturéo is committed to developing a sustainable and eco-friendly resort—values we fully share at Oxbow. We actively participate in recycling, reducing our carbon footprint, promoting local craftsmanship, and organizing regular beach clean-ups at our surf spots."

Choosing a responsible surf school means helping protect the Landes ecosystem and its biodiversity. It also means appreciating and respecting the environment that provides us with so much, whether we're in the water or walking through the pine forest. The Landes region is a fragile habitat that we all have a duty to protect together.

🌿 Surfing in the Landes: What You Need to Know

Surf Vacation FAQ: Everything You Need to Know

Can You Surf Year-Round, No Matter the Season?

Yes, that's one of the advantages of vacationing in the Landes! Our coastline offers perfect conditions to enjoy the waves all year long. Wetsuits keep you warm during the cooler seasons. Of course, always check the weather and wave conditions before heading out!

When Is the Best Time to Surf in the Landes?

We recommend visiting in September or October. This is the "Indian summer" on the Landes coast, where you can still enjoy warm sunny days, perfect waves for learning or improving your technique, and most importantly, far fewer crowds than in peak summer months.

Is There an Age Limit for Learning to Surf?

From 7 to 77 years old—or almost! There is no age limit for learning to surf, as long as you are comfortable in the water. Oxbow Surf School welcomes future surfers from the age of 8.

Do You Need to Know How to Swim to Learn to Surf?

You don’t need to be an Olympic swimmer to start! Beginner lessons typically take place in shallow waters where you can stand.

Can You Learn to Surf on Your Own?

It's possible, but it will take you much longer. Taking surf lessons teaches you not only the basics of the sport but also the essential safety rules for yourself and others in the water. Instructors help you progress faster and ensure a safe learning experience.

Can You Rent a Surfboard and Equipment at Naturéo During Your Stay?

Yes, Oxbow Surf School also offers high-quality surf equipment rentals. You can rent your board and wetsuit to catch the Landes waves on your own.

What Equipment Do You Need for a Surf Lesson?

Oxbow Surf School provides surfboards and wetsuits. You just need to bring your swimsuit, a towel, high-protection sunscreen, a water bottle, and your best smile!
