The spot
Located by the Atlantic Ocean, the spot of Cavaliers is THE spot in Anglet with famous waves all around the world. It owes its international reputation to all the professional competitions organized there. Anglet offers a 4 kilometer sand beach near Biarritz and the mountains of the Basque Country.

The surfing conditions
The water temperature is quite pleasant: 19°C in springtime and 23°C in summertime. On the spot of Cavaliers, the waves are powerful unlike on the beach of la Barre where they are smaller and smoothed. Most of the time, the wind blows in the evening.

Equipment and infrastructures
The equipment provided comes from a brand called Softech, it is fully renewed every 2 years. The boards are soft (coating and soft fins) for a safe practice. École Surf 64 also offers a wide choice of boards, ranging from de 5.6 feet to 9 feet.
There are showers and changing rooms at the center. Also, only 50 meters away from the school, you will find some restaurants, bars, a skatepark, a skating rink, a soccer field, a basketball course...

Practical information

The objective of this 5-day course is to improve at your own pace and to gain autonomy. Both personalized and fun, the lessons are also absolutely safe. In addition to learning the basic techniques, you will be taught how to analyze the ocean with all its subtleties and dangers. The first waves you will ride and tyhe first thrills you will feel while standing up on the board will remain an unforgettable memory!

All the instructors are very attentive to each and every pupil, staying with them in the water to follow their improvements, showing them how to do the right moves, providing them with an individual or a group coaching both on the sand and in the water. The groups of trainees are limited to 12 people maximum so that the lessons are given in the best possible conditions.
