THE ACTIVITIES 1. Excursion in the Médoc Médoc, which means “in the middle of water” in the Gascon language, stretches north of Bordeaux, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde Estuary. The region has such an amazing heritage: just mentioning it makes people think of legendary wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot that made the Médoc world famous. A trip to one of the nearby wineries for an introduction to the several wines, a visit to the wine caves, a stroll through the vineyards and -of course- a tasting at the chateau are therefore highly recommended.
2. Sports activities
3. Water sports
We offer several sports activities for your group on and around Pine Beach Paradise. Next to common sports like beach volleyball, football, etc. we like to introduce you to upcoming and alternative sports.
The region has great rivers, numerous lakes, and a vast ocean frontage where watery activities of all kinds can be enjoyed. Wether you’d like to try surfing, sailing, rafting, kayaking, wakeboarding, waterskiing or even conquer an inflatable obstacle course on water, we have it covered!
‘Trivolle’ combines volleyball and tennis techniques where teams move 360° around a horizontal net. ‘Slacklining’ is the art of balancing on a flat line of webbing that is tensioned between two anchor points and requires concentration, coordination and balance. ‘Yoga’ works to relieve tension and reduce stress in both the body and the mind, while improving your posture, balance and flexibility.
a. Surfing With more than 15 years of experience in surfing holidays, BoardX has gained all the knowhow and expertise needed from running a camp to giving surf lessons in a fun and safe way. Stretching 120 km from Verdon-sur-Mer on the northern tip of the Médoc peninsula south to the Pointe d’Arcachon, Gironde’s coastline is ruler straight and has some superb beachbreak surfing. Due to the many swells and sandbanks you’ll definitely get spoiled with plenty of waves! Montalivet is known for its nice waves where you will easily ride your first waves. All of our surfcoaches are certified with an ISA surf coaching and surf life saving award.

b . Wa k e b o a r d i n g It doesn’t matter if you’ve been riding for years or if you’ve never even touched a wakeboard, a session at the cable park will help you get started and improve your skills. The park offers a large course with six towers an several challenging obtacles as a smaller two-tower. Either beginner or more experienced, with the help of our crew, you’ll certainly have the ride of your life! While one part of the group gets its kicks at the cable park, the other part will have a great time at the inflatable and floating obstacle course! c. SUP & Giant SUP ‘Stand Up Paddleboarding’ or SUP-ing is enjoying an increased popularity because you can practice on any nearby lake or river. The combination of a core stability and finding the right rhythm are the key to success! After some excercise you’ll even be able to catch a wave at our local break!
Contrary to surfing or SUP-ing, a giant SUP needs 4 to 10 persons to get moving. This really is a team sport, since everyone needs to be adjusted to another to go straight and fast. It’s only possible to catch a wave without wiping out with good coordination and team effort! 4. Cycling and mountainbiking The Médoc has a great variety of landscapes like vast forests, rivers, vineyards and sandy beaches along the entire coast, which makes it very suitable for cycling and mountainbiking tours. You can choose between different distances and challenging tracks that will trigger every level to discover the area at one’s own pace. 5. Other activities Apart from all possibilities mentioned above, the wonderful environment offers an inexhaustible range of activities e.g. paintball, adventure park, karting, motorcross, ...
