Surfs and thumbs up
"We had no experience of surfing before going to Hastea. We booked their 5 day ”free surf”, which include a lesson per day and free access to their gear each day. Easy online booking and payment. We had several teachers during these days but each teacher was very helpful and encouraging. And good English skills. They have a photographer present during each lesson, so you’ll be able to buy some nice photos afterwards. We were very happy with our time surfing with Hastea!"

Amazing Surf School!
"I was surfing in Biarritz with the Hastea surf school for six weeks between September and October, and I loved it! The teachers are all very friendly and funny. I started surfing in Biarritz and made a lot of progress thanks to all the teachers, and if I have the chance I would definitely go back:)"
