“I had an amazing time with Surf Canaries surf school and would highly recommend it for beginners. The instructors are excellent at clearly explaining techniques and then helping you gradually apply them at your own level once you are in the water. Group sizes are small, which means you get plenty of individual attention and guidance throughout the session. A lot of thought has gone into structuring the classes, including well timed breaks where you can enjoy complimentary fruit, which is a really nice touch. The photos provided at the end are a lovely bonus and a great way to remember the experience. You do need to carry your surfboard…”

This is our first experience with a friend, and it's cool that the instructors pay a lot of attention to each participant, they encourage when it doesn't work, they're happy when it works :) great experience🙌 I want to repeat and learn to catch and conquer the waves 🏄‍♀️ I was worried before booking, whether it won't be boring if you don't know anything about surfing, but it was quite fun and interesting thanks to the instructors🙌 One minus: there were too many people (from other schools) and there was a fear of bumping into someone, as well as the waiting time…”
