Welcome to HAPPY LIFE Surf School !

We propose surf lessons with  happyness and friendly mood. Because that’s what is surfing all about !

We are located in Bidart, an authentic Basc village based on the ocean (see on the map). The lessons take place at  the beach called « plages des embruns»  and «  plage de l’uhabia »  depending on the quality and the size of the waves.

Lessons are held in groups max 8 persons or individual have a look (see formulas), and  send us a message, we will find out something that fits you !

Happy life is a small structure run by experienced and available teachers who will be blessed to share their passion of the ocean with you. At Happy Life we want you to experience moments of communion with the ocean and nature, you will discover surfing early in the morning or at Sunset, in a privileged atmosphere far from the crowds and bustle of the full day !
We garanty a safe and adapted way to learn surfing. Our lessons include an insurance, adapted gear ( weetsuit, softboard, jersey, sun cream). The coach is always ready to help and give advice.
 
Everyday we will choose the best place regarding to the conditions (tide, swell direction and size) and your level to optimize your learning

Lessons duration is 1.30 hour , we generally start the classes in a range of 2.30 hour before the low Tide and 2.30 hour after. As tides are shifting everyday from 30mn to a1 hour.

The hours of the lessons are also shifting. 

We offer various possibilities for surfing from groups to individual lessons, just check below!

2 practice locations, 1 unique meeting place:

Depending on the conditions you will surf on the Embruns beach, a mixture of sand and rocks, the swell is often more consistent which also allows you to have waves even when the conditions are insufficient elsewhere.

Further south the beach of uhabia is a long sandy beach slightly encased, it allows to surf smaller waves when the swell is too massive

Meeting point :
Parking des embruns 64210 Bidart

The car park is located at the end of Tamaris street (rue des Tamaris), it has a direct access to the beach. During the summer season it s often full so you will have to look around to find another car park. There are one in uhabia street, another one chemin Errepira and a third one in front of uhabia beach.
