    • OCEAN RIDE: A surfing and bodyboarding adventure in Lacanau

      In Lacanau, in the heart of the Atlantic coast, the OCEAN RIDE surf and bodyboard school opens its doors to you for an unforgettable experience on the waves. Founded by Thibault and Damien, two local surf enthusiasts, OCEAN RIDE benefits from more than 15 years of experience and expertise in supporting surfing enthusiasts.

      A committed and friendly surf school

      Located on the Emile Lacaze promenade, with direct access to the beach, our school welcomes you in an idyllic setting, close to the center of the resort. Our premises offer all the necessary comfort with separate men's and women's changing rooms, showers, toilets and a space dedicated to sliding equipment. At OCEAN RIDE, our concept is simple: offer quality surf lessons while raising awareness among our students about respecting the environment in Lacanau.

      A story of passion and commitment

      Childhood friends and members of the Lacanau Surf Club, Thibault and Damien made their dream come true by creating OCEAN RIDE in 2010. Since then, they have continued to evolve and innovate to offer the best possible experience to their students. In 2012, the school moved to premises ideally located on the seafront, offering a breathtaking view of the waves, an inspiring setting for learning and progress. Today, OCEAN RIDE has become a reference in Lacanau-Océan, offering quality surf lessons in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

      A passionate and dedicated team

      To support students in their progress, Thibault and Damien are surrounded by a passionate and dedicated team. Ben, the wise man of the team, Léa, the school's ray of sunshine, and all the other instructors and members of the team are there to welcome you, guide you and help you progress in a friendly and caring atmosphere. At OCEAN RIDE, each student is at the heart of our adventure, and it is thanks to you that we continue to grow and share our passion for surfing.

    We had an amazing time with all the people at Ocean Ride. Over the course of 1 1/2 weeks, we tried out all the different settings: renting boards (very uncomplicated), individual surf lessons and a 5-day course with 2×2 hours of lessons per day. All the teachers were very professional, payed attention to everyone in class, gave lots of feedback and chose spots that were good for all different surf levels in the group. Even towards the end of the season they were full of energy and took every class seriously! Booking individual lessons was super flexible (at least in low-season) and could be done a day in advance or even on the same day. In general, all people working at Ocean Ride were super chill and nice! So far, this is the best surf school I have taken surf lessons at and I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Lacanau and the next surf lessons with Ocean Ride!

    Amazing experience! I can highly recommend the Ocean Ride Surf school. The team is awesome, really kind and friendly. The instructors are very flexible and can give valuable advice to different level surfers. The equipment is in very good condition.
