Surfing the Libournais waters

Riding calm waters

If you think that lake activities lack an adrenaline rush, you may well change your mind after visiting the Libournais region’s nautical parks! Find your balance on your wakeboard, and get ready for a day full of action and thrills! Izon, Sablons and Dagueys are all perfect lakes in the Libournais region for a spot of wave-riding.

Surfing the tidal bore

Sure, you want to get your board out and dive into the rolling waves, but you can hardly do that when you’re so far from the sea. Or can you? You’ve got it – you can surf in the Libournais region! Driven by the waves created by the tidal bore, ride the currents of the Dordogne!
