Surf Guiding or Private Coaching – what is the difference?
When you are on a surf trip you want to surf as much as possible and improve your surf skills. In this case a private coaching or even surf guide are your best pick.
But what is the difference between these two offers?
Private Coaching is especially suitable for those who are looking for fast progress and intense surf lessons. You will receive individual feedback and the surf coach only has eyes for you. But it’s not just about progress. Surfing is much more about not exposing yourself or others to any dangers.
Surfguiding on the other hand aims especially at already experienced surfers who are not looking for individual feedback to improve their surfing in the first place. Surf guiding is all about surfing unknown spots together with an experienced surf instructor who knows the local conditions and can introduce you to the spots and their special features.
Different beaches work under different conditions and have different dangers. So how do you know which spot works best at what time and under which conditions?
Sure, there is the wave forecast, but to be honest, we would rather rely on the word of a local instead of the forecast. Because locals know the surf spots like the back of their hand.
So if you are planning your first surf trip to Fuerteventura, you should try to educate yourself about the various spots and their conditions. Only then you can enjoy your holiday with a lot of fun, success and without injuries. And the best way to do so is in our surf lessons or with a private surf coach.
What exactly does private coaching entail?
In a private coaching you will receive first-hand information about currents, swell, wind, etc. Our experienced surf coaches have been surfing the different spots of Fuerteventura for years. And they will not only teach you about surf knowledge but will also motivate you and help you to celebrate your milestones and successes. With their experience of surfing the different spots of the island thy can tell you exactly which spots are suitable for you and your surf level. They will accompany you to the spots and show you all you need to know. Via photos and videos you can analyse the coaching afterwards with your surf coach. This way, you can pay close attention to what you saw in the video analysis during your next coaching session.Private Surf Coaching – Costs
A private coaching is of course more expensive than a group lesson, since the focus is just on you and you will receive a one-on-one coaching. The price varies depending on whether you want to do the private coaching by yourself or together with a friend or a partner. We would always recommend you to do a private coaching together with someone who has the same level like you, so both of you can profit from it.
