About this experience

Surf Lessons in Saint Barthélemy is a professional surf coaching activity based on the island's north coast beaches, such as Lorient and Toiny. The school provides certified instructors, boards, and reef-safe wetsuits for all skill levels. Sessions run for two hours and are scheduled around tide and swell conditions, ensuring safe and productive waves for every participant.

What to expect

Two-hour group or private sessions at Lorient or Toiny beaches, chosen daily for optimal wave size and wind direction.
All equipment included: soft-top surfboard, leash, wax, and a 3/2mm wetsuit for cooler months.
Beginner lessons start with dry-land paddle and pop-up drills on the sand before entering the water.
Intermediate and advanced surfers receive video analysis of their rides, with slow-motion feedback on turns and take-offs.
Suitable for ages 8 and up; children's sessions use smaller boards and shallower reef breaks with direct instructor supervision.
Post-lesson photos and a digital surf report are emailed to you within 24 hours, documenting wave heights and your progress.
