The club's life and the competition.

The Oléron Surf Club is an associative structure which, from its creation, wanted to be a social and cultural tool in the Oléron region. This resulted first of all in the practice of prices annexed to the family quotient to be as fair as possible with all members. The price of lessons per year is decidedly low to allow and facilitate access to surfing for as many people as possible. This is also why the Oléron Surf Club associative structure is formed and focuses its projects on disadvantaged groups: All the instructors have Handi Surf training and we have several projects including the Hélio-Marin Center in Saint-Trojan and the Marius Lacroix psychiatric hospital in La Rochelle.

We work within the framework of the nautical convention with the community of communes and several schools on the island of Oléron (Saint-Georges, Saint Pierre, La Côtinière, Dolus and Le Château).

The club's life and the competition.
The life of the Club takes place from February to December, on the beaches of Vert-Bois and Seulières (The Enjoy surf school is a branch of the Oléron Surf Club in order to promote access to the discipline for people residing in the northern canton).
The Club represents between 130 and 150 licensees per year, surfing on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Several options are offered:

• the Winter Club; from February to December (4 slots for around 40 students), mini and major competitors; from February to December (2 slots for around 30 students plus competition travel)
• the Light Club from May to October (8 slots for around 70 students).

During the summer season we opened one course per week available free of charge and upon registration for Club students, the Summer Club (1 slot every Saturday in the summer for around 24 students).

Leisure sessions take place on Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning in Vert-Bois.

The training-competition sessions take place on Saturday afternoon at various spots depending on the conditions. In addition, we travel to departmental/regional and national competitions depending on the calendar and the level of the competitors.

Registration to the club includes membership, supervision, insurance and equipment loan (boards-combinations).
This club is not reserved for islanders because currently many members come from the continent.

The spirit of our club represents the experience of its educators who wish to transmit all the sporting and cultural values ​​of surfing (sharing, discovery of a new environment, autonomy, respect for others and the environment).

Allowing our students technical development in the activity will give them balance in and out of the water.
