Surf the most beautiful waves with a passionate champion and renowned instructor.
Learn to surf, improve your skills or simply share an unforgettable session: with Firmin Surfguide, set off to discover the legendary spots of the Basque-Landes coast, from Hendaye to Hossegor, in the company of a guide like no other.
Firmin, French Longboard Master Champion, is above all a passionate teacher, state-certified and renowned for his patience, teaching skills and authenticity.
Here, we don't talk about "courses" or "products", but about tailor-made surfing experiences and emotions, shaped around you.
“Want to experience He’enalu, the divine connection to the ocean? My job is to get you on the right wave, at the right time, with the right board. The rest is just pure enjoyment.” — Firmin
Smiling means opening yourself up to new experiences. Join me and you will see that teaching surfing is more than just a job. I learned with the French Surfing Federation and Surf Santé and Surf Thérapie, but I teach with love and passion.
Firmin's experience: surfing trip and human adventure
Forget crowded schools and timed lessons. Whether you're alone or in a small group, Firmin offers you a 100% personalised experience in a friendly, welcoming and authentic atmosphere.
My motto is to set goals, simplify teaching methods to speed up learning, and enable students to surf properly after just 75 minutes.
“90% relaxation + 5% smile and 5% prana (infused in water) and you're ready to surf!”*

Surf spots on the Basque-Landes coast
Every day, Firmin chooses the best spot for you, depending on the weather conditions and your level.
Among his favourite playgrounds:
- 🌊 Hendaye, ideal for beginners, with its long, accessible waves. It is the "green run of surfing"
- 🏝️ Biarritz – Côte des Basques, the birthplace of French surfing.
- 🌾 Bidart and Guéthary, for powerful but consistent waves.
You will discover the subtleties of each spot: how waves form, how to read them, and above all, how to surf them smoothly and safely.
Firmin offers you a 100% personalised experience.
