Surfing Waves

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?

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!

Hossegore kicks ass !

No need to go anywhere else !
