What to expect
The session begins with a transfer from the school to Famara's black-sand beach. Your instructor will run through safety essentials and board fundamentals on the sand before heading into the water. Expect hands-on coaching in the shallows—positioning, paddling technique, pop-up mechanics—with corrections as you build confidence. You'll also learn how tides and currents shape the break, making you a more aware surfer. By the end of two hours, most beginners will catch a few waves and feel the fundamentals click.
Good to know
