Coaching · Two groups

Your level. Your group. Your progress.

We all learn differently, and someone catching their first wave doesn't need the same guidance as a surfer who's already comfortable in the water. So The Foundation runs two separate learning groups, each with its own objectives and personalised coaching feedback.

Beginners build the right foundations from day one: how waves work, getting comfortable with your equipment, and the essentials of paddling, positioning, balance and take-off. Step by step, with time to ask questions and no pressure to keep up with more experienced surfers.

Intermediate surfers work out what comes next. Taking off a little late, missing the right position, turns that don't quite work the way you imagined: we look closely at what's happening in the water, refine your technique, and you leave with a clearer idea of what to practise.

Coaching · The method

Every session has a purpose

A good surf instructor doesn't simply show you what to do. They help you understand why. Imsouane Surf Academy teaches to a structured approach: clear objectives, practical experience, observation and personalised feedback.

We don't measure a successful week by counting the waves you caught. What matters is what you understood along the way. Less guessing. More understanding. Stronger foundations.

Understanding the ocean also means learning to respect it. Reading conditions, spotting hazards, respecting other surfers and knowing your limits are taught alongside technique. Surfing carries risks no lesson can remove, and knowing when not to paddle out matters as much as knowing how.

Included · Surf, yoga, surfskate

Surf. Move. Reset.

Learning doesn't stop when you leave the water. Five guided surf sessions give you ten hours of coaching across the week: time to practise, ask questions, get feedback and connect what you learned in one session to the next.

Four yoga sessions work on mobility, breathing, body awareness and recovery. One surfskate session takes balance, coordination and surfing movements onto dry land.

And between all of it? Rest. Take a walk. Read a book. Watch the waves, or simply do nothing for a while. After all, you're on holiday too.

Every day · Sunset Tea

Sunset Tea, our little daily ritual

As the sun starts to go down and everyone returns from their day, we gather for tea. Every day, we invite you to our complimentary Sunset Tea, served with a little homemade cake.

Some share stories from their surf session. Others listen, chat or simply enjoy the last light of the day. No ceremony, no complicated schedule: just tea, something sweet and a little time together. It's often in these simple moments that new friendships begin.

Every day has its own story

No two days at the house feel exactly the same. There are moments to learn, focus, cook, laugh, share, and simply enjoy being together.

  1. Mon–Tue

    Good habits, good energy

    A little extra attention to movement, learning and concentration: balanced meals, surf sessions, and time to absorb what you've been discovering. Building your foundations without rushing.

  2. Wed

    Let's get cooking

    The kitchen becomes a place to meet. Our cooking gathering is an invitation to discover recipes, explore the flavours of our kitchen and prepare something together, away from boards and waves.

  3. Thu

    Let the good energy flow

    More confidence, more shared stories, and time to enjoy the atmosphere of the house. The pleasure of learning and being together stays at the heart of the week.

  4. Fri

    Couscous Friday

    A meal to share around the table, and a moment to look back on the week's waves, small achievements and favourite memories.

  5. Sat

    Movie night or live music

    Depending on the house program: a screening, a relaxed cinema night or live music. Carry on the conversations, or simply soak up the atmosphere.

  6. Sun

    A taste of local cuisine

    A shared meal inspired by the cooking of our region, bringing everyone together around the table.

Sunset Tea is complimentary every day. House gatherings, themed meals and evening activities follow the weekly program and may vary from one stay to another.

Roots · The village

Imsouane, beyond the waves

Imsouane is more than a surf spot. It's a coastal village with its own rhythm, people, food and everyday relationship with the ocean.

Walk through the village, discover the harbour, enjoy local flavours, or find a place to sit and watch life unfold. There's no need to turn every moment into an organised activity. Sometimes the best memories happen naturally.

The house · Since 2012

Your home by the ocean

We've been welcoming surfers and travellers since 2012, and the things we love most are still simple. Breakfast before heading out. Stories after a session. Tea at sunset. Dinner around the table.

Some guests arrive alone, others with friends. Some love long conversations; others prefer watching the ocean in silence. There's room for different personalities and different rhythms. Come as a guest. Feel at home.

Come for the waves. Take something more home.

Maybe it's a wave you finally understand, a movement that suddenly makes sense, or a conversation over Sunset Tea.

We won't promise to turn you into an expert in seven nights. What we offer is a thoughtful approach to learning, personal attention and a welcoming place to call home.
