SURF COURSE
We will give classes every day of the week except Sunday, which we will use to make a full day excursion to the most beautiful and most touristic places on the island.
Our instructors are very good surfers with long years of experience and super motivated to teach you all their knowledge on the beach in a fast, fun and safe way.
Certified by the Spanish Surf Federation (FES), Canarian Surfing Federation (FCS) and the International Surfing Association (ISA) and experts in rescue and lifesaving, will get in a few days to learn or improve a lot in your surfing.
Besides being super fun, people from all over the world are known during the courses. Friends forever!
We will divide the groups by levels, those who are debutants on the one hand and those who have more experience on the other, although we will all share the same bounded area of the arena for explanations, games and of course to eat the picnic and comment on the anecdotes of the morning .
The surf classes on Famara Beach are structured as follows:
1. Warm up and stretching following the principles of Yoga
2. Explanation of the exercises on the sand (Theory of surfing)
3. Implementation in the water
4. Corrections on the sand, explanation of more exercises and again go to the water (to make the classes more dynamic and less exhausting)
5. 30-minute break to recharge your batteries and enjoy a free picnic consisting of a sandwich, fruit juice and water
6. Back to the water to continue with exercises and corrections
7. Surfing on your own (free surfing) with the supervision and corrections of the teachers so that you try to put into practice everything learned during the morning
8. Transportation back to school from the beach
– The schedules –
Every day at 10:00 AM we will meet at school to say good morning and distribute the material.
Then we will arrive at the beach to give the first part of the class, we stop half an hour around 12 AM to rest and enjoy the picnic and then we will continue with the classes in the water until approximately 2 pm, including one last hour of supervised free bath by the teachers.
* IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The students will always be in the care and permanent supervision of our instructors. They will be distributed in small groups. We will choose the beach area where the waves and tide point are the most advisable for the practice of the activity and always as far as possible from adult surfers.
All the material will be adapted to the level of each student, we will use soft boards (or hard if they already have experience) and all of them the day of their arrival will be provided with a neoprene and a identification lycra.
There will be a prize each day for the best wave of the session, which will be voted by the teachers and by a Student Committee that will be rotating and will change every day.
Finally and once finished the class of the morning we will shower and we will all go together to eat the delicacies prepared by our cooks.
FACILITIES
We have 3 incredible (and new) Surf Houses with a total capacity of 44 seats. Boys and girls will sleep in separate rooms and will be accompanied for 24 hours by a monitor or instructor qualified in physical activity and free time.

WE ARE WHAT WE EAT. MENU
Because we know the amount of energy consumed by boys at these ages and if we add to this the energy expenditure that sports practice brings, we have designed a very varied menu rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins with a nutritionist: pasta, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, juice … so that our boys and girls can regain strength daily and perform to the maximum during the Surf Camp.
We will start with a super energy breakfast consisting of fruit, cereals, milk, colacao, toast, butter, jam, bread, sausage and energetic bar for each one.
At mid-morning we will enjoy the picnic in the middle of the surf class. And finally at 2:30 p.m. and at 9:00 p.m., we will have lunch and dinner, respectively, consisting of a menu designed to provide them with all the energy they will need during such intense days.
