The Surf Academy
Surfing is great in a club it's better.
The federal home of surfing in Île-de-France. The Surf School, the Club and the Competition programme all in one place, open to all, run by the Surf Club, 365 days a year. The Surf Club is intended to be a non-profit association, in the process of affiliating with the French Surf Federation (FFS).
Three missions, one club
The architecture of the Surf Club.
Surf School
Lessons, camps, school groups, corporate, all levels, baby surfer from age 4. The Surf Club also manages the School. Preferential access conditions for members.
Federal club
Annual membership. Unlimited training, physical conditioning at the Health Centre, video debrief, club life, member events, annual surf trips.
Competition pole
High-performance pathway: FFS regional, national and international circuits, selections, junior elite team. Physical conditioning with the Health Centre, private Single Peak sessions.
Our inspiration: the French coast
We're not inventing the model we're bringing it to Paris.
Four major clubs on the French coast inspire us: each for a specific dimension. The Surf Club is the sum of these identities, adapted to a programmable wave and the Paris metropolitan area.
Lacanau Surf Club
Gironde, since 1968
The heritage. FFS label, 3-star Surf Town. The "Aloha" signature, the annual membership with training + physical conditioning + filmed sessions & debrief. For us: the central teaching model.
BASCS, Biarritz Association Surf Clubs
Basque Country, since 2001
The structure. A clear three-channel offer: Club Memberships / Lessons & Camps / Group & Corporate Packs. Certified instructors + lifeguards, multilingual. Open patronage programme. For us: the offer structure.
Hendaye Bidassoa Surf Club
Hendaye · Basque coast
The youth competition model. FFS Silver club, strong cross-border presence, recognised junior elite team. For us: the Île-de-France regional competition pole.
Bidarteko Surf Club
Bidart · Basque coast
Youth & families. FFS Silver club, summer surf camps, 2-star Surf Town. For us: school-holiday children's camps and Ministry of Education partnerships.
The Surf Club values
The spirit of a club, not a commercial brand.
Aloha & respect
Surfing is a demanding and unifying discipline, marked by humility before the elements. Whether you are a beginner or a competitor, your place in the club is the same. The watchword of the great Basque and Gironde clubs.
Accessibility
The ocean is a space of freedom accessible to all. Handi-Surf programmes, adapted sessions for seniors, sport-on-prescription ambition (in connection with CPAM/ARS schemes) via the Health Centre.
Transmission
The club is not a service: it is a place where knowledge is passed on. Federal-certified instructors + certified lifeguards, mentors, former competitors. Members pass it on to younger ones in turn. Surfing is handed on, person to person.
Commitment & patronage
Modelled on BASCS: an open patronage programme from year one. Companies and individuals can support the community and social dimension, youth grants, Handi-Surf programmes, adapted equipment.
