Jonathan was the best instructor for my family! He is truly very passionate and teaches you the basics to build a great foundation to surf. He was very patient with us, took the time to give individual feedback and made sure that each of us in our family got proper attention from him. He was especially patient with my youngest son who initially got hurt but he was able to coach him on to keep trying. We all were able to stand up on the board after just half a day of instruction from him! He is awesome!

Jo is without a doubt the best surf instructor you can find in the area. His classes are perfectly organized and on schedule. He is very diligent and always listens to his students. I had a wonderful time.
He knows how to encourage his students while respecting their personal development.
I will definitely come back and highly recommend using his services!

A big thank you to Jo for his patience as well as his professionalism. The fact of having taken the “Taxi and Surf” service allowed me to discover magnificent places to surf and to discover a little more of the beautiful Basque coast!

Jo easily knew how to transmit her passion as well as her extensive knowledge. I can therefore only recommend this surf school to you. I can’t wait to come back surfing!

A tailor-made program + individualized support = I recommend Jo's courses and coaching 200%.
I did 5 sessions in a row with Jo to get back into shape in March after the winter break, each session was varied and I progressed day by day. I felt safe everywhere and was able to increase my level while having fun.
Furthermore, and this is not insignificant, Jo is a very attentive, friendly and very likeable person. He is the ideal coach! it directs us to the best spots depending on the conditions, our physical condition and our level.✌️

Jo is an excellent coach who listens and teaches while remaining demanding. He chooses the best spots for you, according to the tide times and according to your level. I highly recommend it!

Great experience with Jo! The sessions are adapted according to the conditions/spots. We feel ourselves progressing throughout the sessions. Little extra: filmed sessions with debriefing. I recommend!

The south west of France offers a wide variety of surf spots. It’s an ideal playground for any type of surfer.

Over the 4 seasons, I adapt the session formats and my teaching to the weather conditions and your progress.

Winter

For thrill-seekers, it’s big wave season!

We explore the coast together, on exposed spots for chargers, or fallback spots for intermediate surfers.

Each practitioner brings their complete neoprene outfit.

Autumn and Spring

Autumn and spring are the ideal seasons to enjoy waves of all sizes in pleasant weather conditions, and without being caught in the middle of the summer crowds.

Ideal for a 5-day internship during school holidays

Individual coaching or mini groups on technical reef spots in the Basque country or learning to tube on the right sandbank

Summer

The water is warm, and the waves generally small. It is ideal for completely new surfers or those with a low level.

5-day courses from Monday to Friday

Private lessons

When a swell is in sight, I organise mini-group sessions (4 people max) at sunrise.
