Surf lesson: why you should take surf classes!

You are infected by the surf fever and want to know something about surf lessons? Currently you see surfing everywhere, on TV and in adverts. During the last years surf fashion became a lifestyle and there are more and more standing waves in Germany where you can start surfing.

But now you want to take your first surf trip and ask yourself if you can teach yourself how to surf or if you should rather take a surf class?

We tried to find some answers for you and will show you why it is worth it to take surf lessons on Fuerteventura or any other place. There are many advantages of surf classes and we hope you’ll soon be able to experience the sport of the kings! We think you’ll fall in love with surfing just like we did and wish you a lot of fun!

You ask yourself if it is possible to learn surfing by yourself to save the money for the surf lesson?

Nothing is impossible, but if you ask us if that is a good way to try and learn this amazing sport, we would answer with “no”. Instead of going on a surf trip by yourself we would recommend you to stay in a surf camp or take classes in a good surfschool. There are many factors that are in favor of that, and just like that you can kill two birds with one stone: You have an amazing time with like-minded people and can learn to surf in a professional surf school, in a professional surf lesson.

But I know how to snowboard & skate – do I really need to take surf lessons?

You have some experience in snowboarding, skating or wakeboarding? Maybe even wind surfing and now you think that surfing can’t be that big of a deal… unforturnately you are wrong. Those sports will certainly improve your body awareness, your body tension as well as your balance, but you can’t compare them to surfing. In a surf lesson a professional surf coach will show you the right technique, which saves you the time to learn by try and error. You won’t get used to wrong automatisms, which will later make it difficult for you when you have to unlearn them.

Learn to surf by yourself or with the help of a surf coach?

A surf coach will give you professional guidance, help you with his individual feedback and knows by experience when you are ready to take the next steps in your surf progression. You will feel safer since you’ll get a safety briefing and you will learn to handle the surf equipment correctly. Our surf coaches will motivate you again and again. Carried by positive energy while supported by someone who wants to share the passion for surfing with you, you will also experience the “spirit of surfing” in our surf class!

But seriously, I can safe the money for surf lessons, can I not?

Maybe you think: “yeah, but I can really safe that money, can I not?!” Ok, if we are talking about finances you are kind of right. Learning to surf in a surf schol is not cheap. But on the other hand you’ll get everything you need.

  • In our surf school we prepare you in theory and practice so you will be able to surf and practice independently soon
  • We bring you to the surf spot
  • You receive the best possible material which will make learning easier
  • We take you to the best suitable surf spot – you don’t have to drive around searching
  • You get a good fault analysis and individual feedback from a professional surf coach
  • During the surf lesson with us you are insured
  • You will often receive photos from your first attempts of surfing and can take some nice memories home with you.

When taking surf lessons you can safe yourself swallowing gallons of salt water, being beaten up and washed away wave after wave. And then you look down the beach to see surf beginners in a lesson, who are already able to do what you have been failing to do over and over…

Surfing needs practice, practice and… practice! But how can you do this whilst living in mainland Europe far away from the ocean? We listed some things for you, from an indoboard to the carver skateboard, to other great practice possibilities. But yes, let’s not pretend, all those gadgets are great for the landlocked surfers but they won’t replace surfing in the ocean.
