Mahi-Mahi Surfschool delivers focused surf instruction for beginners and intermediate surfers with clear, structured lesson formats. Whether choosing a private lesson, a single-day stage, a five-day progression course, or a full-day Safari Surf along the Basque or Landaise coast, all offerings include equipment and guided in-water time.

Surf lessons tailored to beginners and intermediates

• Cours particulier (Private 2-hour lesson): Personalized two-hour session for individuals or pairs with approximately 1.5 hours in the water. Private surf lessons focus on technique, safety, and balanced progression.
• Stage 1 Jour (Single-day stage): A two-hour class with 90 minutes in the water in small groups (Stage 1 Jour runs with up to five participants). Ideal for beginners who want a single focused session.
• Stage 5 jours (Five-day course): Five two-hour sessions designed to build consistent progression. Small-group instruction and repeated in-water practice accelerate skill development.
• Safari Surf (Full-day surf safari): A seven-hour coastal outing with two surf lessons, a beachside lunch, and travel to calmer beaches on the Basque or Landaise coast to avoid summer crowds.

What’s included

• All equipment provided for every lesson and course (boards, wetsuits where required, and safety gear as standard). Participants typically need only personal items like a towel and sunscreen.
