🏄 SURFING 🏄
What surf spots are nearby?
The most famous are the Beach break of “La Cicer” perfect for beginners and intermediate surfers, the Reef break “La Barra” good for learning on speed reef barrels, and the Point break “Los muellitos” good for intermediate levels and longboarding. “El Lloret” and of course “El Confital” are the top quality waves that you can surf at Las Palmas, perfect for advanced surfers looking for deep barrels or long powerful waves.
Do I have to surf every day?
In general, it is possible that you stay longer than your surf course is, but as we want you to improve fast the surf lessons are every day in a row. You have the opportunity to rent our surf material if you want to surf on your own after the surf course.
Do you also offer private lessons?
Yes, definitely. Two persons are the maximum number of students and classes will include the material. Check out the price list in packages section.
What if I have never surfed before?
Not a problem at all! Our surf instructors are the best when it comes to teaching beginners, even those who are afraid of the water.
Because we have groups of maximum six persons, guided by 1-2 teachers, we really take close care of all our students, correcting personally in and out of the water every movement that needs to be improved.
What do I learn in the very first surf lesson?
If it is your first time ever on a surfboard, there will be a lot for you to learn on the first day:
• Basic knowledge about the board and the waves
• How to position yourself properly on the board
• How to paddle in the most effective way
• How to control your board
• How to protect yourself in a breaking wave
• How and when to stand up
• Safety rules and tips to be safe in the water
How long is the surf lesson?
Every surf lesson takes 2 hours, including warm-ups before entering and stretching once you’re out.
What do I need to bring to the surf lesson?
Normally you don’t need to take anything because you will get a wetsuit and the board in the school. However, it is wise to take some water and a towel. We provide a safe storage place for everything to leave in the school while you’re in the water.
What is the difference between surf lessons and surf trip?
Surf lessons are for beginners as well as for advanced surfers and are held at “La Cicer” beach, 5 minutes walking distance from our accommodation.
Surf Trips are for intermediate or advanced level surfers and can be surf sessions with a guide or standard surf lessons given on other spots of the island. Normally surf trips are not given in Las Palmas. Depending on the swell and wind conditions, we choose the best option to surf according to your level.
Do I need to bring my own surfboard for a surf trip?
If you want to bring your own board, we’re fine with that but at our Surf hostel you will find some options for intermediate-advanced levels. Most of the material is for beginners (softboards) but we also have some Minimalibus Epoxy around 7 foot, some shortboards 5’10”, 6’2”, 6’4” and 6’11.
What is the best season for surfing in Las Palmas?
All year round. We are located on a magic place of the Atlantic. There’s always a perfect wave breaking somewhere nearby. Good winds can be found thanks to our conditions of being an island.
Do you provide surf equipment for free after the lessons?
If you book a surf package, this will be already included in your price. If you want to rent boards just for some days, you can ask our staff about it.
What happens if the lesson is cancelled due to unexpected weather conditions?
If the waves in Las Palmas are not good, we have some alternatives to be offered. However, money will not be refunded in any case if the lesson is canceled due to a major reason out of our control.
