Le Pin Sec - The Insider's Tip for France - Glamping, Peaceful Beaches and Empty Line-Ups

If it’s a peaceful week enjoying the French waves that you’re after, then our surf camp in Le Pin Sec is probably the one for you! Our Le Pin Sec camp is undoubtedly the most relaxed of all our surf camps, and as such, has become an insider’s tip among returning customers. Le Pin Sec is the most Northern of our French camps and is situated a 1.5 hour drive from Bordeaux.

Even before arriving into camp, you’ll start to sense the laid-back atmosphere as you drive through the pine forest, upon empty roads.  The camp itself is positioned right behind the sand dunes, just 40m from the beach. The nature that surrounds the camp, the peaceful atmosphere, and the uncrowded beaches are just some of the reasons why we made Le Pin Sec our first glamping surf camp.

You’ll be accommodated in comfort in our tents, which come with mattresses, bedding and wooden floorboards.  In addition to surfing, there are daily yoga lessons, there’s beach volleyball, and of course there’s the beautiful sandy beach to chill on. Our surf camp in Le Pin Sec truly is the perfect place to escape your everyday stresses and unwind.

However, if you like to enjoy a night out, or two, on your holiday, you need not worry! Lacanau, with its great nightlife, surf stores, restaurants and bars, is only a 40 minute drive away.

In addition to surfing, we offer you many other activities so that you are guaranteed not to get bored. You will quickly notice that the atmosphere in our Glamping Surf Camp Bordeaux is unique and you will quickly make new friends that often last for years!

Surf School Le Pin Sec – Sharing Our Passion for Surfing

At Surf School Le Pin Sec, the heart of our programme is to share our passion for surfing and show you the real joy and excitement of riding waves. We want you to feel that same rush we get from being out on the water — and if you finish your lessons happy and eager to surf more, then we know we’ve done a great job.

Our surf lessons focus on practical experience in the water, supported by essential theory sessions that help you become a safer, more confident surfer. From the very first lesson, we teach the correct surfing techniques — for example, we instruct you in the three-step take-off method rather than starting on your knees. This way you avoid developing habits that slow down your progress later on.

You can choose between courses with 12 or 22 surf units per week, with each unit lasting 45 minutes. Both options include a mix of practical lessons and theoretical sessions to help you improve faster and understand surfing more completely.

Our surf school only works with carefully selected, fully licensed, and experienced instructors. All teachers are qualified with recognized organisations (e. g., ISA, BSA) and trained as lifeguards, so your safety, comfort, and progress in the water are always top priorities.

In short, at Surf School Le Pin Sec you’ll be in capable hands — learning properly, progressing quickly, and having fun every step of the way.

All of our surf instructors are fully licenced to teach, have a lot of experience in delivering surf lessons, and are excellent surfers themselves. Our surf instructors are carefully selected for the prowess with which they teach, allowing you to progress your surfing quickly and safely.

Our lessons are taken in small class sizes, with a maximum of 8 students per instructor. This ensures that you feel safe and comfortable in the water, and that your instructor can give you individual feedback and advice. Furthermore, students are arranged into groups by level, namely beginner, intermediate, and advanced, to maximise your surfing progress.

This is usually allocated as a 3 hour lesson each day, for 6 days, but may vary depending on the current surf conditions. 18 hours of surf coaching over the course of a week is more than you’ll find most surf camps provide. We believe that the extra hours that we offer really make a difference when it comes to improving your surfing. In addition to your surf hours in the water, there are also weekly theory classes, in camp, to provide you with a greater understanding of the waves, the tides, and the surfing rules of the water.

Surf Course Le Pin Sec - BEGINNER COURSE

Whitewash? High-tide? Leash? If the world of surfing is alien to you but you’re eager to discover it, then our beginner course is made for you! Our instructors will expertly guide you in your first forages into the surfing world. You’ll be taught the basics of how to get up and standing on a surfboard, using the three-step method. This ensures your progress isn’t limited further down the line by poor technique. Not only will you be taught how to surf, but also how to do so safely. This is truly indispensable knowledge, especially if you plan to surf without an instructor present in the future. In our beginner surf course in Le Pin Sec, our highly experienced instructors will guarantee that learning to surf is a fun and safe experience.

Surf Course Le Pin Sec - INTERMEDIATE COURSE

If you’re already able to catch white-wash and stand upon a surf board then our intermediate level surf course is for you! Our instructors in Le Pin Sec will aid you in moving forward with your surfing and teach you how to surf ‘green’ unbroken waves. A week in on our intermediate course will move you on from whitewash surfing and get you surfing the waves! You’ll also learn how to surf left and right along a wave, instead of just straight towards the beach.

Surf Course Le Pin Sec - ADVANCED COURSE

If you’re already comfortable surfing green waves of up to 1.5 m, and can surf a left and a right, and not just straight towards the beach, then our advanced course is the one for you! Our highly trained instructors will help you take your surfing to the next level, teaching you new manoeuvres and finessing your technique.  The programme is tailored to your individual needs, so whether you’re wanting to learn to cutback, or you’re looking for some advice on your aerials, our surf coaches will help you to achieve your goals.

Our surf instructors look forward to helping you improve your surfing in our surf courses in Le Pin Sec!
