Joyu Surf Shack (Bidart, France) ★★★

The Basque Country and the southern part of the region ‘Les Landes’ are a paradise for surfers. Along the Atlantic coastline one surf spot follows the next one. From Beach break in Anglet to Reef Break in Guethary, there is always a wave to surf regardless of tide, wind, swell and season.

Geoffrey : “Jo”

The ever present passion for surfing has travelled my adventurous spirit to many far and hidden corners of the world – always a board under my arm and full of curiosity, ready to share the respective surf culture.

My hunger to travel and surf has never diminished. This made me plunge deep into the knowledge of the diverse cultures about this fantastic sport. The art of shaping and the craftsmanship in creating boards is what fascinated me the most. I experimented with different boards and technics, always gaining new experiences.

In the traditional martial arts I find inspiration and balance. With this practice I learned to treat my body, mind and spirit with respect.

The ocean and nature in general have been always part of my life and they have awakened a deep connection and love to it - and the desire to move in nature and to grow above my limits. With the degree certificates as a surf life saver, first aider and ‚MovNat‘ trainer I am able to share my passions and to pass on my knowledge.

Jutta : “Yu”

Born in Germany and grown up in Southern France and the Reunion Island I feel at home in two languages and three cultures.

The multiple relocations during my childhood and adolescence have created a strong passion for traveling, but also the desire to create a place which you can truly call home, no matter where this might be. During my travels the places and hosts which gave me this sense of belonging are the once which I always recall.

Welcoming people and caring for them comes effortless for me, its part of my being. This applies for guests, friends, and all people who are crossing my path.

I am passionate about outdoor sports and strive to expand my limits. Further I am convinced that our diet as well as our way of a careful consumerism will have a positive impact on our surrounding nature, which is our playground.
