Our Surf Courses, Your Surf Courses

Beginner Surf Course Fuerteventura

Beginner Surf Course / First Timer

In our beginner surf courses for first-timers, you'll learn all the basics of surfing.

Want to learn to surf, or just give it a try? Then our beginner surf course is perfect for you! From safely handling the surfboard, to gliding along in the waves, all the way to your first attempts at standing up. On a shallow, standing-depth sandbank close to the beach, you can learn in a relaxed setting how to read the waves and paddle into them. After the first gliding exercises, our surf instructors will show you — with plenty of fun and clear, hands-on technique — how to get to your feet on the board.

Progressive Level Surfkurs Rapanui Fuerteventura

Progressive – Surf Level

This course is for everyone who has already completed a beginner course.

In our Progressive surf level, we'll perfect your take-off technique together. You'll gain a deeper insight into the fundamentals of surfing: proper paddling technique, board control, wave theory, and the know-how for your first gently breaking green waves.

Intermediate Surf Course

Intermediate Surf Course

You already have a good success rate on your take-offs, solid board control and paddling technique, and you've surfed your first green waves.

Then, as an intermediate surfer, this is the course to choose. Here you'll learn how to move safely and responsibly in the line-up — a crucial part of every successful surf course at the Rapanui Surf School.

Private Surf Coaching Fuerteventura

Private Surf Coaching

Professional surf coaching for intermediate and advanced surfers.

Our surf coach Gilles surfed for six years in the German national team, was German champion in 2015, and competed on the WSL Pro Junior Tour as well as in the World Surf League's Qualifying Series. Thanks to his professional, in-depth training as a pro surfer — particularly when it comes to efficient diagnosis and coaching methods — he'll strengthen your confidence in your own abilities and deepen your understanding of waves and biomechanics, so that you reach your personal goals in surfing.

Beyond a certain level, it all becomes individual. To meet your needs fully, we recommend our 1-on-1 coaching.

On request, we also coach small groups of up to 4 people — for example friends, couples or families.

Surf Lessons in Fuerteventura, Timed to the Conditions

 

Every surf lesson at our surf school in Costa Calma, Fuerteventura is scheduled around the day's wind, wave and tide forecast — not a fixed clock. Depending on your skill level and what you want to work on, we pick the surf spot and start time that actually suits you best that day.

We meet either at our surf centre next to the surf camp, or we pick you up directly from your accommodation with our surf shuttle service and drive you to the best surf spot of the day. After a warm-up and a short theory session on the beach, you'll head into the water to surf and train — with step-by-step guidance throughout your 2,5 to 3 hour surf lesson. Between water sessions, relax on the beach, connect with other surfers, or just enjoy watching the waves.
