Lesson No. 1: flat means no waves, at all… now you can speak surf! Welcome to Rise Up in Audierne bay, where Sébastien and his skilled instructors are waiting for you at the cult site of Pointe de La Torche. It’s a name that lights up the eyes of all ocean players! Everything here ensures a fun and safe discovery. Rise Up is a spot in its own right. It is warm and friendly and offers a mix of surfing-related activities, such as a skateboard ramp in the garden, exhibitions, sports and music events, etc. The surfing way of life!

The beaches of Pouldu, in the Southern Finistère, are an excellent choice for taking the plunge when the waves are rolling, at half-tide. Erwan is sure of one thing: you can have fun and discover the rhythm of the waves at any age, whether you’re five or 50! The week-long programme he has devised allows everyone to handle their board decently and to ride their first waves with poise. Stand up, feel the power of the wave that’s carrying you… it’s simply wonderful and entirely possible! There are even hot showers and heated wetsuits for your comfort!
