SURF COURSES CROZON MORGAT BRITTANY

The educational project of Magnet Surf School

Magnet Surf School is committed to following an educational charter

Several main areas are addressed in the surf lessons of the Magnet Surf School. We are committed to providing you with quality content according to your expectations. Depending on your level and your aspirations, we will discuss the surfing technique that best suits you. We will also study the fundamentals of the discipline: the weather forecast, the analysis of the dangers of surf spots, the frequentation of beaches. These are aspects that will allow you to forge a surfing culture and adopt consistent practice strategies. Finally, as we practice in natural spaces, it is important to know the specificities. You will undoubtedly have the opportunity to observe birds in the dune areas and more rarely marine mammals.

This pedagogical charter allows us to ensure quality content during surf lessons and to set targeted learning objectives.
