Located on the west coast of Réunion in La Saline-les-Bains, the École de Surf de la Réunion now offers surfing lessons in the waters south of the Saint-Gilles lagoon. Perfect for all those in search of an adrenaline rush!

Your instructor will meet you at the Saint-Leu spot to brief you on the activity and, most importantly, to check that the shark spotters are keeping a close watch on the waters off Saint-Leu Beach. Indeed, the risk of sharks is always present in Réunion: if there is not enough visibility in the ocean or if the shark spotters are absent, the surfing lesson cannot take place and will have to be postponed, or replaced by a stand-up paddleboarding activity in the lagoon of Saint-Gilles. Your safety is paramount, as is your enjoyment of surfing in Réunion in optimal conditions!

So, if all the weather and safety conditions are met, you'll be able to get on your surfboard and tame the waves of the island's west coast! Your qualified and experienced instructor will be there to guide and advise you so that you can improve your skills in this thrilling sport. You can choose whether you prefer to take part in a group lesson (up to 8 students) or a private, one-to-one lesson with the instructor.

Whether you're a beginner or a long-time surfing enthusiast, come and discover the pleasure of surfing in Réunion along the coast of Saint-Leu!
