is for all students to be immersed in the culture and way of life of
a surfer. It is also a great opportunity to learn French language
and the basics of French cooking.
Past events have
included bodysurfing, swimming & paddling (when the ocean is flat,
very rare at this time of the year) and of courses several nights
out sampling the delights of Biarritz & San Sebastian(Spain) night
life.

Who is our gap
course for?
Students taking a year out, career breakers and people looking
for a change of direction. We invite everyone to join us, but one
thing all our students have in common is a strong desire to get as
mush as possible from their time with us.

do I have to be?
