It was in 1956 during the filming of the movie "The Sun Also Rises", an adaptation of a Hemingway novel, that Dick Zanuck and Peter Viertel, two Californians, introduced surfing to Biarritz.

The latter then became more democratic in the 60s and 70s with the creation of the surf riding federation, the appearance of the first schools and the organization of competitions. Until it became a pillar of the Basque coast's state of mind in the 80s.

Today surfing is everywhere and it can be difficult to choose the right surf school. That's why the OYAM Campsite invites you to discover our partner: the french surf school whose manager Eric GARRY is considered one of the heirs of the first Basque surfers.

With over 20 years of experience, the French surf school offers you an incredible range of courses and stays including the famous surf camps at Camping OYAM from €216 per week.
