About this experience

Surf Lessons in La Digue is a guided surfing programme on the island's south-east coast, offering instruction for all levels. The lessons take place at Anse Source d'Argent, where gentle waves and shallow water create a safe learning environment. Participants receive a board, a wetsuit, and a certified instructor for a two-hour session.

What to expect

Learn on the calm, turquoise waters of Anse Source d'Argent, with waves averaging 0.5 to 1 metre for beginners.
Small group sizes (maximum 4 students per instructor) ensure personalised feedback on paddling, popping up, and turning.
Suitable for first-timers and intermediate surfers; children aged 8 and above can join with parental consent.
Each session ends with a video review of your technique, so you can see your progress and correct your stance.
