Surf lessons for beginners

Lanzarote is an ideal destination to take your first steps in surfing. The constant sea conditions, the volcanic sandy bottom and the safe environment make learning to surf both fun and effective.

A typical class for beginners includes theory on the beach about safety, technique and knowledge of the environment, followed by a physical warm-up, dry practice and, finally, entry into the water to work on take-off and paddling on foam. All this with certified instructors and in small groups.

The equipment used is adapted to the beginner’s level: largesoftboards to facilitate balance and comfortable wetsuits. The sessions focus on individual progression in a fun and motivating environment.


Surf courses in small groups for all levels and ages.

Economic packs for those who want to surf for several days without spending too much. These courses can include accommodation in surf houses, free photo sessions and transport to the best spots depending on conditions.

For the little ones, there are surf courses for children in Lanzarote from 6 or 7 years old. The sessions are fully adapted to their age and abilities, using foam boards and suitable wetsuits. Safety is a priority: low ratio of students per instructor, presence of lifeguards and shallow areas for practice.

In addition, all instructors have specific training in child pedagogy and first aid, and classes include supervised play dynamics to maintain interest and motivation throughout the session.
