The house is located in Hossegor, 30 minutes drive from Biarritz airport, walking distance from the bus station, local surf shops and restaurants, tourist centre and a stones throw from the Golf d’Hossegor.
THE Surfing Accommodation
Stay in a house together with a pro surfer, his wife and other surfers from around the world. Enjoy evenings around the BBQ, watching DvD's on the huge flat screen tv, enjoying meals together and sharing surf stories.
The house has a spacious living room with large comfortable sofas which leads onto the terrace with hammocks overlooking the golf course. The terrace is a great place to enjoy BBQ evenings surrounded by large pine trees and other surfers sharing their surf stories.
The house also has a room with video coaching facilities for touring groups and teams and outside there are areas for stretching/yoga with a full-on training course for physical strengthening exercises.
Your hosts believe a healthy diet is crucial to the detoxification process and the meals you enjoy during your stay are designed to complement your surfing and fitness regime.
A healthy breakfast is low in sugar and fat and includes plenty of fresh fruits, yoghurts, fruit juices and milk, with healty wheat breads and of course strong French coffee. This is an excellent way to kick off the detoxification process every morning, while giving your body all the nutrition it needs.
A picnic lunch is served after the surfing sessions on the sundeck at the Cream Café. This includes salad, sandwiches, fruit and bottled water.
A delicious dinner is prepared by your hosts Yacha and Kevin and there are dishes to suit everyones taste. You will enjoy a variety of meals from all over the world including South African curries and true French cuisine. Evening meals include baquettes and wines.

Sunday evenings - BBQ bash at the house
