Hugo, founder & passionate instructor

My name is Hugo LE FRAPPER, I'm 35 and I've been surfing for over 25 years.
Born in Auray, I grew up a few kilometers from the wild coast of Quiberon, where I discovered the first waves and the first surfers. A deep passion for the ocean was born as a child.

At the age of 9, I received my first surfboard after two years of bodyboarding. It was a revelation.
I started out on my own on Sainte-Barbe beach in Plouharnel, observing, inspiring and dreaming, with my head buried in specialized magazines(Surfer's Journal, Surfer Mag, Surf Session, Trip Surf...). Surfing soon became much more than just a hobby.

I joined a local school, met my first surfing friends and discovered competition.
We were lucky enough to grow up without social networks, and we spent our time following our heroes and heroines on VHS and then DVD, which were the only media for broadcasting surfing films at the time!
Sometimes we'd spend whole afternoons dissecting every move - that's when I developed a real technical analysis of the discipline.
This would lead me to the national level, eventually joining the Pôle Espoir Bretagne in sport-études, where I won the French championship.

At the age of 18, I became an assistant instructor at a surf school, while studying engineering. This enabled me to finance my first trips and discover the waves of Indonesia, then the whole world.

My love of surfing pushed me to live differently: I trained as a chef to continue traveling, and spent two years in Western Australia, where I surfed world-class waves on a daily basis alongside some of the world's surfing elite.

Back in France, I'm taking my BPJEPS Surfing diploma in 2021. I then work with several surf schools in La Torche, as an independent surf instructor.

At 35, with 26 years of surfing behind me and a long list of legendary spots (Nias, G-Land, HT's, North Point, El Quemao, Teahupo'o...), I decided to open my own surf school.

I'd like to share my passion for surfing with you, and make sure you have a great time in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with the main aim of enabling you to have fun, whatever your level of surfing experience.

At Blast Surf School, you'll learn more than just the basics of surfing. You'll gain a deeper understanding of the history, culture and values that have been passed down from generation to generation, making up the ever-evolving surfing family.
