Guidel is a small commune in the Morbihan department, 15 minutes’ drive from Ploemeur. It’s the perfect spot to learn to paddle at your leisure. Guidel lies on the banks of the River Laïta, which flows directly into the ocean in the Anse du Pouldu. As a result, the sea is less rough than in other parts of Morbihan.
There are several surf and stand-up paddle clubs on site. You can book packages of several lessons or individual sessions, as you wish. Are you already familiar with this water sport and would like to practice on your own? Several schools, such as YouSurf or Laïta Location, offer equipment rental for a few hours or a full day.
