Surfing in Messanges
What better place than Les Landes, the Mecca of European surfing, to take on the swell and follow the waves on your board?
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced surfer, a young surfer or a surfing uncle, the Messanges surf spot is ideal for all levels.
So choose between shortboard or longboard, and come and discover, from the age of 6, this sport born in Hawaii over a century ago. And who knows, maybe one day you'll succeed the legendary Kelly Slater (11 times world champion) on the WTC circuit.
Towed buoy
Looking for some group fun? Try a towed buoy at sea, and you're guaranteed to have a good laugh at high speed!
Take your place on the buoy with your friends and hold on tight to the handles, departure is imminent....
Connected by a rope to the speedboat towing it, once launched the buoy bounces over the water and sometimes even flies off! Thrills guaranteed!
You'll need to be at least 7 years old and know how to swim to take part in this activity and try to tame the feisty towed buoy.
Towed foils
If, like Icarus, you've always wanted to fly, discover the sensation of flying above the water thanks to the towed foil.
The principle is simple: thanks to a lifting surface immersed in the water, as soon as it picks up a bit of speed the foil takes off and avoids it above the water, giving you theincredible impression of floating above the sea.
You'll need to be able to swim to try this revolutionary water sport.
Wakeboard
Wakeboarding is an individual sport that lets you surf in the wake of the boat towing you.
Come and test your sense of balance and learn to stand up on the board, towed at a speed of around 28 km/h.
Once you've got the hang of it, you can try your hand at jumps and tricks, using the wave left by the boat as a launching pad!
To discover these new sensations, you'll need to be at least 12 years old and know how to swim!
Water skiing
Undoubtedly the oldest of the towed water sports, water skiing still attracts a huge following.
Equipped with skis, you will be guided step by step as you learn, firstly, to stand up and get out of the water, and then, finally, to let yourself be towed behind the boat.
This activity is open to children aged 12 and over, as long as you can swim and are comfortable in the water.
