About this tour
Pick up a surfboard and get out on the water at El Campello in Alicante. This two-hour beginner course puts you in small groups of two to five with experienced instructors who'll teach you the mechanics of catching waves and staying upright. You'll spend time in the shallow breaks learning technique before paddling into deeper water. By the end, you'll have the basics down—balance, timing, how to read the swell. Boards, wetsuits, and safety gear included.

What to expect
You'll meet your instructor on the beach and get fitted with a wetsuit and board suited to your size. Expect a quick walkthrough on terra firma—how to pop up, weight distribution, paddling technique. Then into the water to practise in the shallows before attempting real waves. The instructor stays close, offering corrections and encouragement. Waves here are forgiving for learners. You'll be tired by the end but buzzing. Most people get at least one decent ride.
Good to know
Bring a change of clothes and towel. Public transport runs nearby if you're without a car. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries or serious heart conditions. Fit enough to paddle is the real requirement—all fitness levels welcome otherwise.
