Surfing in France

[klopatios]

Hello people!

I've been living in France since more than 3 years and I want to learn how to surf. I've never surfed in my life. I was planing a trip to the US, but finaly I can't afford it.

Could you tell a good place to surf in France, or somewhere near by, that would be suitable for a beginner like me ?

Thank you

Which region are you in?

[samueladams]

Definately the Aquitaine and Basque regions, e.g. Biarritz. You really do not need to travel as far as the US to get excellent surf!
