    What To Expect

    Learn how to surf from scratch on Playa Famara, Europe's best beach break for beginner and intermediate surfers.

    After a short briefing at the surf shop, your surf instructor will provide you with a wetsuit and a surf board. A short ride to the right spot on the beach and the action begins. A quick safety talk, warm-up, followed by exercises on the beach and in the water. Our instructors are always on your side, helping your on the beach and on the water. Most of our surf students catch their first wave on their first day!

    So what's included:

    - Surfboard according to your surf level
    - Wetsuit
    - Rash vest
    - Practical and theoretical instructions on the beach and in the water, surf exercises, stretching
    - Video Analysis (only available for 4,5hrs lessons)
    - Medical insurance during the surf lessons

    What will I learn:
    - Choosing the right surf board and a wetsuit
    - Finding the right places to surf safely
    - How to recognise rips and how to deal with them
    - Paddling on the surf board
    - Stand-up techniques
    - Find and catch your first waves

    WARNING: Keep in mind that surfing is HIGHLY addictive and can have a significant influence on your future life!

    Q: Will I get seasick on Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

    Activity name

    Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
