Surf center

since 1990

The Surf Center is a water sports centre located on the supervised beach of Les Salles-sur-Verdon (83630), one the shores of Sainte-Croix Lake. Created in 1981, the Surf Center was first a windsurfing shop in Draguignan. It became a watersports rental center in 1990.

At the beginning, windsurfing and catamaran sailing were the flagship activities of the Surf Center. To delight both little ones and grown ups, we then expanded into boat rentals, pedal boats, canoes, and foiling. The Surf Center is constantly evolving, but always with the same sporty and laid-back spirit that defines us!

Discover the village of Salles-sur-Verdon and its history. It was submerged under water when the Sainte-Croix dam was created by EDF, and has been completely moved and rebuilt in 1974. It’s one of the three villages bordering the lake, along with Bauduen and Sainte Croix du Verdon
