Quality

At the center of our approach

Since 2013, the Aloha Surf School has been committed to improving the quality of its services. We have been awarded the Qualité Tourisme™ (Quality Tourism) label three times.

To obtain this label, service providers must successfully implement a quality assurance process that meets the essential requirements for customer satisfaction. As a guarantee of trust, our services are regularly subject to unannounced and independent audits.
This mark of recognition allows you to confidently choose tourist establishments that offer high-quality services.

In 2025, the Qualité Tourisme label will become: DESTINATION OF EXCELLENCE.
The new standard is even more comprehensive and requires adherence to stricter criteria than its predecessor, particularly regarding:

eco-responsibility: reduced energy consumption, digital sobriety, sustainable mobility, waste management;

accessibility: better consideration of the needs of people with disabilities, with clear information and appropriate facilities.

Aloha Surf School is continuing its quality improvement process and has once again applied for this certification.

2026 will therefore be an important year, as we will be subject to numerous evaluations which will, we hope, lead to further recognition of the quality of our service and facilities.

History of Aloha

2005 …………………. 2026

Founded in 2005 , Aloha surf school began as a small hut
build for two months on the beach Bourdaines in Seignosse ..

At the beginning, the team consisted of a hostess and a monitor
Pascal (who is also the founder of the Aloha surf school).
The goal was creating Aloha to share a common passion:
Surf off course, but also the environment and the values of this activity.

21 years after, The Aloha Surf School is open from Easter to Thanksgiving holiday , and we are always present on the beach from April to September . A heated pool was grafted to the hut to learn to swim to the smallest . The team now consists of Pascal with three surf instructors , a lifeguard life guard and a receptionist .

The adventure goes on with you.
