WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
There are so many to choose from, do you need to bring any equipment or experience and what is the difference between all the kind of surf lessons available? No worries, we’ll help you out to make the best decisions for you! There are different types of surf lessons :
- PRIVATE LESSON ; Do you want to learn how to surf fast? Then a private lesson is the best option for you. Sure, you’ll pay More0, but you’ll be up on that board in no time. Like all private classes or lesson situations, the teacher or instructor has all eyes on you. This will result in a faster learning curve and more specific training based on the students level. Do you need to have any surfing experience for a private lesson? Absolutely not! If you’re a beginner you’ll get undivided attention from your surf instructor! You’ll be standing on that board before you know it. If you’re an intermediate level surfer, you’ll be able to focus more on performing basic surfing maneuvers such as carves, cut-backs and generating speed or even choosing the right wave. *Options available.
- SEMI private LESSON : You book one instructor for you and your friend(s), partner, family.– Another way of improving your surfing quickly are semi-private lessons. Here you go out with your surf coach and one other person. So you will share your coach´s attention with only one other person. Maybe you wanna bring along your friend ? Or you can choose to go with only one other friend and see it is as a cheaper form of the private lesson. Surf lessons for more than 6 people? Get in touch and we will provide an extra instructor.
- GROUP LESSON : Group Surfing Lessons are popular for a reason. It is an affordable way to start surfing, get back into it after a long break or to find out if this adrenaline driven sport is for you. Usually you’ll be in a group of 3- 6 surf students with 1 instructor.*depends on the condition! however, This way we can provide full attention to each surfer and assure the safety of our students. Group Surfing Lessons are a good way to start surfing when you don’t have any experience or when you feel the need to refresh your surfing memory before you head back out there by yourself. Your Surf Instructor explains the basics, tells you all the instinc and outs about surfing in Tenerife and you’ll get water time to bring everything in practice. Of course under the guidance of our certified (ASI) instructors, who will keep an eye out on all students during the entire lesson and will help out where they can. Keep in mind that you won’t be the only one in the lesson, the variety of levels can be big.

- A lot of people fear of the ocean. It can be hard to surf when you’re afraid of the sea! But there’s good news and there’s bad news: the bad news is that your fear won’t disappear overnight, and it might never completely disappear.The good news is that your fear can mostly be conquered and turned into healthy respect, which is something that is important when dealing with the ocean. With time and dedication, anyone can turn their fear of the ocean into the pure joy of surfing on four foot waves and beyond!

Surfing can be a challenging sport. Some say it’s just like snowboarding but this is not quite true as the ocean is fluid while snow is essentially water in solid form. However, being able to snowboard or skateboard and having a good sense of balance is a definite bonus. We also find that people who do sports such as yoga, gymnastics and pilates. have a good sense of balance and an added advantage. But surfing is a test of wills and as much of a mental sport as it is physical. An attitude of ‘I can do it’ and ‘I won’t give up’ is a great ally when you start to learn how to surf.
