The Taichi Surf Tribe Club

Year-round surfing

The surf club is for residents of South Landes who wish to surf all year round.
Volunteer instructor from partner association Taichi Surf Tribe, Eric offers a non-competitive approach, focused on the joy of progressing, in a spirit of sharing and cultural openness.
This formula allows members to strengthen their skills throughout the seasons, within a collective and supportive dynamic.

A different perspective on progress

Progress doesn’t necessarily come through competition. The club is built on strong values:

  • Respect and adaptability towards a fragile and changing natural environment

  • Team spirit: performing together rather than competition at all costs

  • Differentiated pedagogy: tailored learning, adapted to each individual’s aptitudes and qualities

  • Goal of autonomy: understanding the ocean element and applying safety instructions

  • Personal development: learning to manage stress and provide appropriate responses in the moment

Surfing is a sport of freedom, but it remains subject to the rules imposed by the ocean, with everyone’s safety as the priority.

Who is it for?

How the club works

  • Sessions from April to October

  • Adapted group sizes to ensure quality and safety

  • Opportunity to complement your experience with tai chi chuan practice, to improve body control, balance, coordination, and stress management.

 

Why join the club?

  • Regular practice that allows you to progress faster than with occasional lessons or courses.

  • A spirit of camaraderie and emulation among members

  • An exceptional natural setting between Seignosse, Capbreton, and Hossegor

  • A respectful approach to the ocean: safety, adherence to rules, and environmental awareness

 

An approach rooted in tai chi

The approach is based on the principles of Tai Chi Chuan (taichi): search for balance, body control in space, coordination, self-control, and respect for others.


This dimension promotes better body awareness, greater ease in the waves, and an ability to adapt to the constant variations of the oceanic environment.
