LEARN TO SURF OR IMPROVE YOUR SURFING IN FUERTEVENTURA

Corralejo is an established coastal town/resort located only a short drive from airport in the North of Fuerteventura. Although a popular tourist resort it still retains some of it’s original charm/character and the beaches/dunes on the edge of town rival some of Europes finest.

All guests stay in our sociable Hostel for Boardriders located in the popular harbour/marina area. Our Surf Camp is great value for money and ideal for single travellers and young friends who want to meet other people and enjoy the laid back Canarian nightlife apres surf!

The rugged and unspoilt coastline west of Corralejo offers a variety of surf breaks to suit all levels of surfers. The warm climate and consistent surf make it a great all year round surf destination. Winter is a good time to visit for bigger and more challenging waves.

Beginners and Improvers will benefit from surf lessons and intermediate surfers who can already ride green waves will benefit from the surf taxi option where you get to travel with the surf school to the beach breaks and surf safely on the same beach.

Surf School & Surf Lessons

The Surf School was formed in 2004 by the owner of the already established and popular Windsurf and Kitesurf centre in Corralejo (founded in 1987). In 2010 the Surf School was awarded a certificate of excellence by the Canary Islands Government (Tourist Board) for providing a top quality “Water Sports Experience”.

The Surf Instructors are generally qualified via the British Surfing Association (or equivalent) and all have the necessary skills and patience to help you progress in a safe but fun enviroment at your own pace. The coaching is specifically aimed at those who have never surfed before or those who have already taken some some lessons but feel they need to improve further. Surfing is progressive and there is always something new to be experienced and learnt!

For safety reasons and to ensure you get the attention you need on dry land and in the water, the Surf Lessons have a low student to instructor ratio. All students are placed with an instructor who specialize in teaching at a particular level.
