Everyone can learn to surf!

Learning to surf with the whole family is a great way to slowly get to grips with the waves. Some of you may still be a little sceptical about the ocean and the waves, but our surf coaches will respond to you with a lot of sensitivity, empathy and patience.

In this way, minor blockages can be overcome and you can surpass yourself! Especially in spring and summer, the gentle waves in beginners’ lessons are ideal for gaining your first experience on the board.

Learning to surf with the whole family Surf lessons for Families at FreshSurf

At our surf school on Fuerteventura, children can take surf lessons with or without their parents as soon as they can swim and are around 8 years old. We teach in small surf course groups: 1 surf coach looks after 4 to 6 surf students. This allows us to offer the best possible individual attention and ensure a safe surfing experience for all surf course participants.

In our group surf lessons families, children and adult surfers come together especially during the holiday periods and learn to surf together. 

Our surf coaches make it possible for everyone to learn to surf safely at their own level. They cater to the individual needs of all surf course participants. The surf courses are usually held in English or German.

As a family you can either participate in our regular surf class or take off in a Family Surf Lesson with your own private surf coach, which will exclusively look after you!

The younger your children, the more it makes sense to book a private family surf lesson. 

Enjoy your time in a surf class with your very own surf coach, who exclusively caters to your needs!

Your child is still too young – feel free to take turns!

Unfortunately, we do not offer childcare at the moment. However, learning to surf with the whole family does not have to be cut short, even for families where one child is still too young or has no interest in surfing:

In this case, one parent plunges into the waves with their surf-loving offspring (or alone) while the other parent watches from the beach with their sibling or has a good time in some other way. The parents then usually alternate between surfing and childcare on a daily basis.

Highly recommended surf school with a great atmosphere. We took part in the Family & Friends class as beginners. Julian & Domi gave us a great sense of achievement with their commitment, professional tips and lots of fun. -Thanks again for that!

We had so much fun! They also attach great importance to everyone’s safety – as beginners, we always felt safe and in good hands. We had a great time and learnt a lot. We will be back!!!
