Ready to join the crew? If so, check out our Breton session from last year HERE
Your Breton adventure begins at Quimper station. Pierre, your driver and host for the weekend, welcomes you. The whole fine team boards the bus and heads for the ESB surf school in Audierne to get to the heart of the matter!
After enjoying your snack, you meet Gwendal. He introduces you to the program and the Captains who will be looking after you over the weekend.
Let's get down to business!
It's time to take the plunge and head for your first surfing lesson! The coaches will be with you to guide you and help you progress during your first session.
Depending on your level, you can work on your take-off or bottom turn at the bottom of the wave.
A rootsy evening
Tonight, we meet up at Pierre's bus for an aperitif with his adventure buddies. On the menu: a tasty dinner and a well-deserved good night's sleep!
DAY 2
Surf
Hiking
Finistère
You'll feel the swell!
After a gentle wake-up call with your feet in the sand, you're off to your second surf lesson! This is your chance to perfect your technique and apply the tips you learned the day before.
You'll find ZEUS boards a joy to ride. If you're still lacking in technique, don't worry, we'll find you a longer board to start with.
Afternoon adventure in the Breton pampas
Once you've downed your saltwater mug, we'll take your picnic and head for the Pointe du Raz. The ideal spot to have lunch and enjoy the scenery. And yes, you can't be in Brittany without seeing the tip of Finistère!
This hike along the coastal path between moor and ocean will let you discover the grandeur of the panorama of the famous Raz de Sein, well known to sailors, with its Vieille and Tévennec lighthouses and the fascinating island of Sein.
An evening lulled by the sound of the waves
After this sporting day, we can relax and chill out on board the bus! There's still plenty of energy left for a toast!
DAY 3
Pancake workshop
Surf
Morning, Breton pancake party!
After breakfast, it's off to La Torche to discover some new surfing spots!
But before you go for a dip, it's time to put on your cooking apron!
At the foot of the Eckmühl lighthouse, Yvan awaits you for fun-filled crêpe classes in a unique and convivial Location . The Atelier is entirely dedicated to the world of crêpes, whether savoury or sweet, and you'll learn how to make crêpe dough and turn them on the traditional billig. A gustatory voyage of Breton flavors.
Afternoon, it's time to ride!
After lunch, you put away your apron and put on your battle suit! It's time to go riding and discover your new surf spot! This time, you'll be on your own, so shine on the waves and have fun!
An evening your taste buds will savor
For dinner, it's a chance to put the morning's lesson into practice! We're counting on you to sauté the crepes like a true Breton 😉
DAY 4
Surf
Debriefing
Back
We're back at it in the morning!
Take advantage of this last wake-up call facing the sea to appreciate this taste of freedom.
As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear in the morning, we head back to the water for a cool session. On the agenda: rider, rider, rider! The idea is to go where the best waves are, so that you can find your balance and have maximum fun.
The surf session ends around midday. Being in the water takes its toll, so it's time to enjoy your lunch. Then it's off to Quimper station. It's time to say goodbye to your mates and your Captain.
With a dog named Bodhi on the team, Captain Wild couldn't do without surfing! We went to see the guys from ZEUS because, in addition to giving us a good laugh, their eco-responsible boards are perfect for quick fun in the waves. And as if that wasn't enough, expect to end your surfing days with an aperitif on the roof of Pierre's bus, surfaris in your ears and the best view of the Atlantic coast!
THE ZEUS WORD
There are few, if any, French brands making foam surfboards, except ZEUS Surf!
It's the story of 4 young Frenchmen, Elliot and Gaspard Voituriez (associated with Martin and Jacques Goessant) who decided to start creating foam boards. Since 2015, these 4 Perrosians have been keen to pass on the joys of the sport they've been practicing for as long as they can remember.
Perfect for beginners, advanced riders and quick fun in the waves, ZEUS Surfboards are the allies of all surfers. "We're extremely proud to be the first and only European softboard brand to produce boards from recycled plastic waste and without plastic packaging.
For us, these initial measures are a first step towards meeting the major challenge facing surfers in the 21st century: to be able to surf without polluting... and without breaking the bank.
