What to expect
Arrive at the beach and get fitted with your wetsuit and board. Your instructor will demonstrate basics on sand—paddling technique, pop-up, stance—before you enter the water together. Expect hands-on guidance as you practice catching small waves. The pace stays relaxed; instructors adjust to your ability. Mid-way through, you'll take a breather. By the end you'll have caught several rides and feel noticeably more confident. A photographer captures key moments throughout. Afterwards, rinse off in the shower and refuel with water and a snack bar.
Good to know
Book early for smaller class sizes. The Canary Islands' Atlantic swells work year-round, though winter brings more consistent waves. Avoid this if you have spinal issues, poor heart health, or are pregnant. Public transport reaches the beach easily. Bring a towel and change of clothes.
