Full description

Try Surfing in Gran Canaria – No Experience Needed!

Ready to try something new on your holiday? Become a surfer for the day in the sunshine of Gran Canaria, where the waves are perfect for beginners and the vibe is all about fun and safety.

You’ll start with a relaxed intro session at our surf school, right next to the stunning sand dunes of Maspalomas. We’ll walk you through the basics with an easy, entertaining theory class—including video tips to get you prepped and pumped.

Then it’s off to the beach! We’re a mobile surf school, so we choose the best spot each day based on the conditions. If the waves are better at a different beach, transport is included. If the best waves are at our home beach in Playa del Inglés, we’ll walk there with our boards. Depending on where the waves are breaking, the walk can be 10 to 20 minutes along the sand, carrying your board — a manageable stroll for most people in reasonable physical shape.

Once in the water, your experienced instructors will be right there with you, helping you catch your first waves.

To keep you refreshed, we provide water and a piece of fruit after the first session — and best of all, photos of your experience are included free of charge, so you’ll go home with great memories (and proof you did it!).

We recommend being in reasonable to good physical condition to fully enjoy the experience.

  • All surf equipment, including surfboard, leash, rash vest, and long or short wetsuit

Stoked you had a great time in the waves with us! Thanks for the awesome feedback — it means a lot to our little surf tribe here in Gran Canaria. See you again for round two?

The guys were super friendly and professional. They assisted us in the water the whole time, taught us the basic technique in a simple and effective way, and most importantly, they made us have fun and transmitted the spirit of the sport.
