Description of this activity

Yène offers an immersive group surfing experience, ideal for discovering the sport while taking in the unique environment of the village and the nearby lagoon. Groups form each morning on the beach, where the white sand meets the calm waters of the river. The instructor presents the day’s program: group warm-up, balance games, and a fun introduction to the subtleties of surfing, adapted to each person’s age and level. The activity, designed to encourage camaraderie and mutual support, celebrates diversity: teenagers, children, and adults share advice and encouragement in a family atmosphere.

The setting invites discovery. Between sessions, breaks allow you to admire the migratory birds in the lagoon or sample the fresh fruit sold on the beach. The lessons alternate between group technical exercises (catching waves, mastering take-offs) and individual time, promoting independence and step-by-step progress. Local clubs provide the equipment: suitable boards, protective wetsuits, and insurance included. The activity is complemented by short educational workshops on local biodiversity or games inspired by village life.

After the session, walks along the river or around the village are offered, providing a rare cultural immersion. The multi-session package encourages regularity and allows for continuous progress over the weeks.
