The accommodation is everything that you need and more.
Very good instructors, a measured approach to progress day by day with clear guidance on the beach and in the water. Thanks Manu and Alex for allowing your surfers to learn by doing, focused experimenting and getting countdowns while getting onto the first waves. Personally, I learned the first basics of surfing a wave straight forward and taking a turn on a small wave in 5 days.
Mattresses were old and worn and no longer fit for purpose
Dear Shane,
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention! I apologize for this, no one ever complained about the state of the mattresses in the room you were staying...
I'm pleased to say that as of now we have changed them and most of the other mattresses in our surf houses
Hope to see you again in the future!
Best regards,
Ksenia
Manu was first class and the others were pretty good too

SUP Lessons
Each lesson last 3 hours. We go to different spots on the island depending on weather conditions,
The best waves occur in the north half of Lanzarote. The Island has consistent year round surf and 22 degree plus sunshine meaning you don't need a thick wetsuit and in the summer you can get by in a shortie or even just shorts!
Lessons often occur on the Lanzarote's most reliable surf beach, Playa de Famara, on the north west coast of the island. A beautiful white sand beach that stretches for 6km and is surrounded by the stunning Famara mountain range. Another great beginners area is the north east of the island in Arrieta.
Surfing Lanzarote is all about the north part of the island. The area from Playa de Famara to La Santa has been described by the Stromriders Surf Guide as "one of the best surf locations in Europe!" This stretch of Lanzarote picks up all the north and west swells and contains a mix of surf breaks facing numerous different directions. So no matter what way the wind is blowing there will always be a range of peaks to surf.
The more intermediate/ advance area is 'El Centro' in La Santa, in the north west and not far from Famara, it’s a solid reef break, best at high tide.
Travel around the north of the island and you will find many different breaks including some world class 'lava reefs'. Each September the WSL World Tour comes to town with the 6 star prime event. The worlds best surfers compete for the €125,000 in prize money.
