Arrival in Sainte-Anne

The moment I set foot in Sainte-Anne, I felt the familiar embrace of a beach town that knows how to welcome a surfer. The air was thick with the scent of salt and adventure, and the sun was already casting its golden glow over the landscape. My wife and I had just arrived, and we were eager to dive into the waves of Guadeloupe, a place that had been on our radar for quite some time.

Our journey began with a comfortable ride through the scenic beauty of Guadeloupe. The lush greenery and vibrant colors of the island were a feast for the eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation building up inside me. As a seasoned surfer, I’ve ridden waves in some of the most beautiful places in Central America, but there was something uniquely enchanting about Guadeloupe.

Upon reaching the heart of Sainte-Anne, we were greeted by our guide, a local with a deep love for the ocean and a wealth of knowledge about the island’s surf spots. His enthusiasm was infectious, and I knew we were in for an unforgettable experience.

Riding the Waves

The surf lesson began with a thorough explanation of the session and some technical instructions. Even as a professional surfer, I appreciated the refresher and the opportunity to learn from someone who knew these waters intimately. The waves in Guadeloupe were different from what I was used to, offering new challenges and sensations that kept me on my toes.

Our instructor was a qualified lifeguard, which added an extra layer of comfort and safety to the experience. He guided us through the process with patience and expertise, ensuring that we were not only having fun but also learning and improving our skills.

As I paddled out into the ocean, I felt a familiar rush of excitement. The waves were calling, and I was ready to answer. Each ride was a dance with the ocean, a moment of pure freedom and joy. The sun was warm on my back, the water was refreshing, and the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the sound of the waves and the thrill of the ride.

A Day to Remember

After a day filled with surfing and laughter, we returned to the city center, our hearts full and our spirits high. The private vehicle ride back was a chance to reflect on the day’s adventures and the memories we had created.

Guadeloupe had offered us more than just waves; it had given us a glimpse into a culture that cherishes the ocean and the freedom it brings. The island’s beauty and the warmth of its people had left a lasting impression on us, and we knew we would carry these memories with us wherever we went.

For those looking to experience the magic of Guadeloupe’s waves, I can’t recommend the surf lessons enough. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a beginner, the island has something to offer everyone. It’s a place where the ocean meets the soul, and every wave is an invitation to discover something new.
