Your program

– Depending on the surf conditions (tides, swell), we come to pick you up at your accommodation in the morning (10:30) or the afternoon (14:30). The time will be confirmed the day before by WhatsApp for the first surf day. It lasts about 5-6 hours including the transfer.

– The surf course includes a training carver skateboard in Lajares, the transfer to the beach, a warm up, exercises on the sand and in the water, a recovery break, an after surf stretching session to finish the session, and usually we end it with a free surf session.

– You will feel privileged as we do only 1 single group per day, without a fixed schedule and it is being more than a surf course, but also an enriching experience in human relations. We share with you our island lifestyle as well as our ideas on a sustainable life, environment preservation and care of yourself with sport and healthy food.

– The theory is often given around a table while you enjoy delicious smoothies/coffee on the way back to Corralejo/Lajares. Also, at the end of the week, there is often a lunch or dinner where we take surf pictures analyses so you can watch the footage while receiving feedback to improve your performance !

– You only need to bring your beach gear, water & some food (possibility of buying food at a backery in the village of Lajares on the way to the beach) ! The instructor gives you your material and looks after all administrative tasks.

The time of the course is scheduled depending on the tides. Usually, we go to the beach during low tides because at that time there is a lot of white water to have an easy and safe start

Yes, it is ! At our academy, we have small groups of max 6 students so that Alex the teacher can supervise and train you individually, depending on your surf level. He gives you a personalized program, intensive and efficient so that you can perfect your surf ! Therefore, you will be in the same group as your friend who is a beginner !

The average water temperature is 23 degrees in summer, and 18 in winter. In summer, we often surf wearing boardshorts during the day, and with shorties or integral 3/2mm at the end of the day when it gets cool because of the wind.

As a beginner, it doesn’t make a big difference, we surf all year round. However, Fuerteventura is famous for its winter swell in case you want to do surfaris and/or take advanced classes. Our surf school & surf camp is located in the north of the island, in Corralejo/Lajares. This location allows us to move quickly to the east, west or north coast following the best surf conditions. This guarantees surf all year round ! (beach breaks and reef breaks).

Yes, you can borrow the gear for free on the days of the surf course.

On the first day, we generally use softboards. Those boards are used for security reasons (in the Canary Islands). They are great to learn technique and manoeuvres like bottom turn, top turn,… During the different days of class, you get the opportunity to try different surfboards to find the one that matches your style. Just talk to your instructor !

We offer a surfari with private tips for confident surfers for 100€ -90 minutes. For the surf course, we do not do private as our students get enough tuition with our small group of max 6 students.

Yes, you are ! Alex the teacher helps you to refresh or perform the basics of surfing and also corrects any bad habits. Then he coaches you on advanced techniques, how to paddle out, how to catch unbroken waves and you can try your first bottom turns, etc. If you wish, you can also take a surfari to keep on practicing your new skills.

Our surf courses are limited to a maximum of 6 people; therefore, we offer the best quality classes. To avoid any disappointment, We recommend you to book as soon as possible.

We welcome unaccompanied teenagers as of 12 y.o. Each keiki (kid in Hawaiian) is unique ; that’s why we like the parents to describe their keiki. Is He/she independent ? adventurer ? Can he/she swim well in the Ocean ? If yes, your keiki is a candidate to a surf course at our Academy !

Like for the teenagers (see above), we need to speak with you if the keiki is independent, and confident in the water. We will decide together whether the keiki can join the course or not. As a kid asks more attention than a regular surfer; we ask you, the parents, to be available on the beach to help the instructor.
