You participate in a surf course at the endless white beaches in the south of Fuerteventura. It does not matter if you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced surfer. My team and I value small groups in our courses so we can adapt individually to our students' learning objectives. Every day, we will drive to the beach that offers the best conditions for our surf students' levels of surfing. At the beach, we explain currents and give important safety instructions for using the surf equipment. After that, there is a short warm-up, which is followed by the first dry exercises on land for the position on the board and the movement of standing up—we call this the “Take Off.” Now everybody is off to the water. The surf instructor will be in the water with you and help you choose waves, push you into the waves, and give you tips on improving your surfing technique. For a small extra charge of 8€, we will pick you up from your accommodation in Morro Jable, Jandia, Esquinzo, Butihondo, Costa Calma, La Pared, or La Lajita.
