LEARN TO SURF IN ENGLISH with our surf school in Anglet, near Biarritz, France. 

Our California coach and certified surf instructor plus our young staff of Australians, Brits and Scandinavians welcome you and combine their know-how for a surf lesson, a surf course, a surf camp and you can join our surf club. This could be the coolest and most effective way to improve your English and more fun than a language study holiday in England or Ireland.                                                                                                

If your parents are in Hendaye, St Jean de Luz or the Landes and gourmet food and thalassotherapy are not your cup of tea, take a surf break and join us at our surf cabin on the beach - your parents will undoubtedly join us next time. And there will be a next time, for we open our surf camp in English during all the prolonged school holidays. We provide transport service from the train station and the airport to the holiday center where our surf camp is located.

THE AIM OF ENGLISH & SURF : 

1. To make the English language attractive to students.
2. To place them in a real and passionate setting where English words and phrases are associated with dynamic actions.
3. To give the students the possibility to surf and improve their English during every school holiday, in a secure environment and with a staff who shares the same passion.
4. To talk, read and write about their board riding manoeuvers and surf culture.                                                            
5. To increase the students working vocabulary by at least 30 words per day.
   To give them great memories that they will take back to school.
   Memories that will motivate them as they continue to learn English.

6. To teach respect for the ocean environment, ecology, others and equipment.
7. To guarantee the students safety at all times.

COMPARE OUR TRAINING COURSES WITH THE OTHERS 

1. Our classes are longer.
2. There are usually two instructors with the children — more English, more surf and more safety.
3. Teen age surfers from California often join us to add more English and youthful motivation to our programme.
4. Our cabin on the beach allows us to easily consolidate our English after the lesson.
5. We take action photos of the surfers if conditions permit and we analyze the photos with them — in English of course.
6. We are a local club with a scholarly approach to surf.  We are open year round.

Progression in English is rapid when students know that if they work hard they will join us soon in another training course.
