Paris is clearly not the city where one would go to learn to surf! Located at least two hours away from any ocean, the capital is far from the superb natural spots of the French territory, both in the south of the country and in the islands. This is the reason why the surfing events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will take place in Tahiti! But thanks to new technologies and static waves, you can still surf in some rare spots in the Paris area!
Wave in Paris is certainly the most famous place to surf, and the only indoor one in the region. Since 2021, this indoor static wave sports complex offers two options, the flowboard to stay upright or the bodyboard to surf lying down. What to get familiar with the waves, before going to venture on the French coasts!
