Las Palmas: Learn to Surf with a Special Price for Two Group

Gran Canaria’s Atlantic waves make a fine classroom, and this beginner surf lesson for two keeps the mood friendly rather than intimidating. You start with safety and technique, then take your board onto a beach selected for suitable conditions. Instructor Ezekiel has been praised for clear explanations and careful coaching, with enough time in the water to put the lessons to work.

I like the small group limit of 10, which should give you more useful attention than a crowded beach class. I also like the practical setup: wetsuit, board, insurance, transport from southern accommodation, and school-based safety videos are included. The main consideration is timing: the activity is advertised as four hours, while one description calls it five, so confirm the exact schedule when booking.

Key points to know before you book

• A genuine starter course: You receive classroom safety guidance, beach theory, and hands-on practice rather than simply being handed a board.
• A good two-person price: The $117 rate covers up to two people, making it $58.50 each when two book together.
• Equipment is supplied: Your wetsuit and surfboard are included, so you do not need to arrive with specialist gear.
• South-area pickup is included: If your accommodation is in the southern part of the island, transport is part of the package.
• Instruction favors care and technique: Ezekiel is noted for clear teaching, safety awareness, and practical time on the water.
• Small, but not private: The group can reach 10 participants, so this is social instruction rather than a one-to-one lesson.

Starting at Pro Surfing Company in Eurocenter

Your meeting point is the Pro Surfing Company school inside Eurocenter Shopping Center, local 80 on the ground floor. Look for the Surf Gran Canaria and PRO SURFING COMPANY signs, surfboards, and staff wearing Pro Surfing Company shirts.

Arrive about 30 minutes early. That extra time matters because you need to check in, collect your wetsuit and surfboard, and be ready before the class leaves for the beach. The school is not just a place to meet. It is where you get organized, watch the safety material, and begin to understand what the lesson will ask of you.

If you are staying in the south of Gran Canaria, pickup and return to your accommodation are included. The information provided does not promise pickup from every part of the island, so you should use the school meeting point if you are outside the south area. A WhatsApp contact is available for arrival questions, though the supplied details do not include the number itself.

Safety first, then the beach

This class is built for people who are new to surfing or still finding their balance. Before you head into the water, you watch tutorials and safety videos at the school. That may sound less exciting than grabbing a board right away, but it is one of the more useful parts of the day.

Surfing looks simple from shore. You lie on a board, wait for a wave, and try to stand. In practice, you need to know how to handle the board, where to position yourself, and how to behave around other people in the water. A proper safety briefing gives you a better chance of enjoying the practical session without wasting time on avoidable mistakes.

The course also includes theoretical and practical lessons on the beach. Expect the instructor to explain the basic movements before you try them in the sea. The emphasis is not only on catching a wave. It is on learning sound technique and understanding how to stay safe while you do it.

That careful approach earned strong praise from the group. Ezekiel was specifically noted for being thorough and clear, with a good balance between safety instruction and time actually spent surfing. For a first lesson, that is the right balance. Too much talk leaves you cold and frustrated. Too little instruction leaves you guessing.

Choosing a beach with the right conditions

The class uses a beach selected for the best conditions available for the development of the course. This is important because the ideal beginner beach is not necessarily the most famous beach or the one with the biggest waves.

You want conditions that let you practice. A suitable break gives you a better chance to work on paddling, positioning, standing, and recovering after a fall. The exact beach is not named in the supplied details, and the location may depend on the day’s conditions. That flexibility is useful, since the Atlantic is not a machine that delivers the same waves every morning.

The phrase best waves should not lead you to expect a high-powered surf session. For a beginner, the best wave is often a manageable one. You may spend much of the first session learning to read the water and get your body into the right position. That is progress, even if you do not spend the day riding long waves.

The beach portion is where the class earns its keep. You are not only watching an instructor demonstrate. You get time to try the movements yourself, receive corrections, and repeat them. A surf lesson often involves a fair amount of falling, but the practical value comes from trying again with one small adjustment at a time.

What your four-hour session includes

The advertised duration is four hours, though the longer description refers to five hours. Treat the activity as a half-day commitment and check the precise start and finish time before you go. Travel days can be tight, especially if you have evening plans or a flight.

The day generally breaks into several useful stages:

• Check-in at the Eurocenter school
• Wetsuit and board collection
• Safety tutorials and videos
• Basic theory and instruction on the beach
• Practical surfing with instructor guidance
• Return of equipment and transport back to the pickup area

The supplied information does not give a minute-by-minute schedule, so you should not expect a fixed timetable for each part. The sea determines some of the rhythm. Still, the structure gives you a clear idea of what you are paying for: instruction, preparation, equipment, water time, and return transport if you qualify for south-area pickup.

A four-hour class is long enough to make the trip worthwhile without turning the day into an endurance test. Surfing uses muscles you may not often call on, and beginners can tire quickly. The wetsuit helps with comfort in the water, but you should still plan for a physically active morning or afternoon.

Learning with a small group

The class is limited to 10 participants. That is small enough to keep the lesson manageable, though it is not a private class. You and your partner will share the instructor’s attention with the rest of the group.

The two-person booking format is useful for couples, friends, or family members who want to learn together. You can share the nerves, laugh at the falls, and compare notes when one of you manages to get upright first. The discounted group price is also more appealing when two people fill the booking.

The strongest feedback points to instructors who are joyful, approachable, attentive to individual needs, and detailed in their explanations. That matters more than a flashy beach setting. A beginner needs someone who can correct a small mistake without making the lesson feel like school detention.

Ezekiel is the only instructor named in the available information. He is praised for combining clear technique with strong attention to safety and plenty of practical surfing. The other instructors are described as officially certified and passionate about the sport, but specific staff assignments are not guaranteed.

Classes are listed in English and Spanish. One part of the activity information also refers to Italian instruction, while the main language details list English and Spanish. If Italian is important to you, confirm availability before paying.

Boards, wetsuits, and insurance included

The package supplies a neoprene suit and surfboard. That is a real saving for a first-time surfer, since buying or renting equipment separately would add cost and create another task before class.

A wetsuit also makes the experience more comfortable, especially when you are spending a long session in the water and falling in repeatedly. The supplied information does not specify suit sizes or board types, so mention any equipment concerns when you contact the school.

Full insurance is included. The details do not explain the exact coverage or exclusions, so you should still follow the instructor’s safety advice and ask the provider if you have a particular concern. Insurance is helpful, but it does not turn a physically active sport into a risk-free one.

You also receive a 10 percent discount in the school store. That is a pleasant extra if you decide you need surf clothing or a small item afterward, but I would not use it as the main reason to book. The real value is the instruction and equipment already included.

Food and drink are not included. Bring whatever you need for the half-day, following the provider’s instructions about what can be taken to the beach. You should not assume a meal or refreshments will appear as part of the class.

Is $117 good value for two?

The price is $117 per group of up to two people. With two participants, that works out to $58.50 each. For a four-hour beginner class that includes a board, wetsuit, insurance, instruction, safety preparation, and south-area pickup and drop-off, that is a reasonable package.

The value improves if you would otherwise need to rent equipment or arrange transport. It also makes sense for two people who want the same activity rather than booking separate lessons. The cost is less compelling if you are booking alone, since the price is set for a group of up to two rather than clearly reduced for one participant.

The group size affects the calculation too. You are paying for a shared class, not a private coach. If personal attention is your top priority, ask how the group is divided during practical exercises. The maximum of 10 is modest, but the exact number on your date can change.

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity and the option to reserve now and pay later make this easier to fit into a changing island schedule. Those policies are useful around weather-sensitive plans, though the supplied information does not explain what happens if the provider changes the session because of sea conditions.

Who will get the most from this lesson?

This class fits you best if you are a complete beginner, have tried surfing only once or twice, or want a structured introduction before attempting the sport on your own. You do not need to bring specialist equipment, and the course begins with basic safety and technique.

It also suits two people who want an active shared experience. The special price is designed for a pair, and the small group gives you a social setting without the scale of a large class.

You may want a different option if you already surf confidently. The teaching is aimed at beginners, so experienced surfers may find the pace too basic. You should also allow for physical effort, repeated falls, and a schedule that may change with the selected beach and class timing.

The class is less suitable if you need a guaranteed five-hour program, a named instructor, or instruction in a language not clearly listed. The details mention four hours in one place and five in another, and English and Spanish are the confirmed languages in the main activity information.

The extra photo and video option

Professional photography and video are available for an additional fee. This can be useful if you want a record of your first successful ride or need to see your technique afterward.

It is not included in the $117 price, so treat it as an optional add-on rather than part of the core lesson. Ask about the cost and exactly what you receive before agreeing to it. A camera can be fun, but good instruction, safe practice, and time on the board matter more.

My advice on booking this Gran Canaria surf class

I would book this if you and a partner want a well-organized first try at surfing and are staying in southern Gran Canaria. The strongest reasons are the two-person price, included equipment, certified instruction, safety preparation, and the careful teaching approach associated with Ezekiel.

Before booking, confirm three practical points: the exact duration, the beach and pickup arrangement for your accommodation, and the available teaching language. Also remember to bring food or drinks, since they are not supplied.

This is not a private coaching session or a guaranteed session with large waves. It is a beginner course that gives you a sensible introduction to the sport, with enough structure to make your first attempt safer and more rewarding. If that sounds like the kind of beach day you want, the price is fair and the format makes good sense for two.
