What to expect
You'll meet your instructor at Escuela Zoopark Famara (you'll need your own transport there). The session starts on the sand with fundamentals—stance, paddle technique, where to position yourself on the board. Then you're in the water for hands-on practice riding small waves. The instructor stays close, offering corrections and encouragement. Expect to feel muscles you've forgotten about; falling off is part of learning. By the end, most first-timers catch at least a few waves unassisted.
Good to know
Arrange your own way to the school—no hotel pickups included. Minimum age is 12. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Wear sunscreen before you arrive; the Atlantic can be deceptively strong.
