A review from the bloggers LezBroz

Yes, you can go surfing near Dieppe! We were able to polish our knowledge of surfing at Surf’In Pourville, on a sublime beach lined with cliffs.

To make the most of the thrills of surfing, it is essential to take a class to gain a better understanding of the sport. After receiving detailed explanations, we took advantage of the Norman sun to ride our first waves.

It was low tide, so there weren’t any huge waves to tackle, but we were still able to let off steam and perfect our technique on smaller waves. Guaranteed excitement and thrills!

It is also a local structure responsible for coordinating sporting and tourist water activities, as well as for their sustainability. It contributes to the region’s economic, social and cultural development.

Station Nautique Dieppe Pays Normand works with many sailing and fishing operators who meet on a regular basis to collaborate on joint projects and organize activities at the centre. It is required to comply with a number of core principles, such as being open to all kinds of people, offering water activities in multiple disciplines and holding classes all year long.
