About this tour
Learn to ride Spain's beginner-friendly breaks with a qualified instructor over four hours. This entry-level course teaches you how to pop up safely, paddle effectively, and catch your first unbroken waves. Groups stay small (maximum six per instructor) so you'll get genuine feedback rather than generic tips. The water time runs roughly 90 minutes to two hours; the rest covers transport and theory. You'll need to swim competently and be at least six years old.
Highlights
- Catch your first independent waves with hands-on guidance
- Learn paddling, take-off, and basic wave-reading technique
- Small group instruction: max six students per coach
- All equipment provided; private transport included
- Suitable for complete beginners and those with minimal experience
What to expect
Your instructor will start on the sand, covering board positioning, weight distribution, and how to read conditions. Then you'll wade in together and practice paddling in shallow water before attempting small foam waves. Expect to fall repeatedly—it's part of learning. The instructor watches your technique and adjusts your stance or timing until you're popping up consistently. By the end, you should ride at least a handful of waves under your own steam. You'll feel tired but buzzing.
Good to know
