Life at the Natural Surf Lodge
We don't want to be over serious and boring about environmental education, but we try to gently raise awarness with our guests during their surfing holidays, about adopting an Eco-friendly approach on a daily basis. We try to provide an example in order to limit the impact of our activities on the environment.

Our environment-friendly actions
The Surf Lodge itself has been renovated in respect of local architecture (protected zone) using natural and local materials (wood from Landes' artificial forest, natural coating).
- Shower and lavatory water and the SPA is warmed up by solar panels and a geothermic system takes over if sun is away.
- Our 9 sits van is equiped with a special filter that limits CO2 emission to drive you to the surf lesson.
- We recycle paper, glass, plastic and compost vegetables to enrich the soil.
- Our brochure is printed on post consumer recycled paper using non –GMO soy-based inks and we use recycled paper to write our snail mail.
- We provide a little information booklet for our guests explaining our environment concerns and Eco-friendly approach. We give tips to engourage green behaviours e.g. to limit time spent under shower or to turn off the light when leaving a room ... |

We count on your active participation to keep the ocean a natural and preserved playground for our children.
