Les bases du Foil Surf

Surf foil, La Teste de Buch

Foil surfing is challenging to master, requiring consideration of numerous factors for success. Choosing the right spot is crucial. Between Arcachon and La Teste de Buch, we aim to introduce you to this exhilarating sport with maximum safety for you and others.

With extensive experience from numerous stays in Hawaii and dedicated practice, Polo will guide you in this new discipline on suitable spots around Arcachon, La Salie, and La Teste de Buch. He will teach you how to position yourself in the optimal area to take off, when and where to fly, and for advanced surfers, how to carve and pump. Analyzing currents and conditions is even more critical than in traditional surfing.

We can also start with an E-Foil (electric foil) session with West Coast in Biscarrosse. Beginning with an electric or boat-towed foil allows you to acquire the sensation of flight and glide. The ideal process includes: an eFoil session, followed by being towed with the foil you will use in the waves behind a boat, before heading into the ocean.

Private Ocean Lesson – 1.5 hours in the water:

If you wish to learn foil surfing, especially in waves, this lesson will teach you to approach the ocean differently, to fly… and also to fall.

Prerequisites for ocean foiling:

  • Ability to glide sideways.

  • Adequate paddling skills.

  • Comfortable in the ocean.

  • Ability to remain calm in stressful situations.

Therefore, knowing how to glide sideways is essential, but being an excellent surfer is not mandatory; a proficient “rider” experienced in various activities may perform even better.
