Come and enjoy
an immersive experience
Nestled in an unspoilt natural setting, just a stone’s throw from Surtainville beach, the Surtain Surf House & School is a place where people meet and share.
Here, surf culture, respect for the environment and conviviality are celebrated.
A family adventure
We’re Ben and Elise, passionate about our Cotentin peninsula and sharing experiences. Inspired by our travels, we discovered the concept of surf camps and surf houses, which motivated us to create the first surf camp in Normandy, a warm and welcoming place.
Ben, a surf instructor for over 20 years, has trained beginners and advanced surfers throughout his career. He shares his skills and knowledge of the ocean with us. As for me, Elise, an educator by training, I grew up in a family steeped in surfing. I’m a good listener, and make sure I meet everyone’s needs and offer you a warm welcome.
After years of searching, we found an ideal spot, steeped in history, consisting of houses and a hangar, to bring this family adventure to life.
