About this tour
A two-hour surf lesson at Playa de las Américas teaches you to read waves and find your feet on a board. Based in Tenerife's premier beach break, you'll work with experienced instructors who focus on practical technique rather than theory. All gear—board, wetsuit, booties—is provided, along with accident cover and full facility access including showers and lockers.

What to expect
You'll start on the beach with your instructor covering stance, paddle technique, and safety. Then into the water to practise pop-ups on whitewater before attempting small green waves. Expect a fair bit of salt water and paddling fatigue—it's a proper workout. The instructors will correct your positioning and help you understand how different swell angles affect your approach. By the end you'll have caught genuine waves and know what to improve next time. Conditions vary; some days are calmer than others, but the beach is well-suited to learners.
Good to know
Bring a change of clothes and towel (showers on-site). Public transport reaches the beach easily. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. All fitness levels welcome, but swimming ability helps.
