All you need to know about our Family Surfcamp
A surf trip to Fuerteventura together with your family
Where can you surf with the whole family?
You are a family who wants to do something special during your holiday and get to know a new sport? Then you are at the right place in our surf lessons for families. Because we want to make it possible for families to learn to surf together in our family class, spend time together on holiday and have fun.
Everyday stress, work, hobbies and activities – there is often hardly any time left in everyday life for joint activities and conscious time with the family. It is often difficult to find time together due to time-consuming commitments and the different interests of the older and younger generations.
Where does the Family Surf Camp take place?
Where can you surf on Fuerteventura with the whole family?
Our village El Cotillo is very children and family friendly. Besides playgrounds and numerous nice restaurantas at the harbour there is hardly any trafic and parents as well as there children can relax and unwind. The immediate proximity of our apartments to the beach as well as to the town of Corralejo, which is about 20 minutes away, offer an attractive environment with numerous entertainment and leisure activities. So there are also plenty of opportunities to experience something apart from surfing!
Surfing in a relaxed environment with the whole family
Learn to surf or improve your surfing skills while having time for yourself and your own needs
Where do you stay in our Family Surfcamp?
Amidst a magnificent backdrop of cliff formations, lagoon beaches and a kind of lunar landscape, anyone who appreciates nature will be more than “just” satisfied. These “secret spots” are synonymous with perfect relaxation and unforgettable experiences for the whole family. Secret spots because it takes time to appreciate the special nature of this landscape. A panorama that helps you to concentrate fully on the needs of the whole family. You as a family are the centre of attention!
How are the surf lessons for families?
You should learn to surf when the conditions are best. This is why we organize our surf lessons depending on the tide. The surf lessons can take place in the morning or in the afternoon – of course also depending on the surf level.
We teach our beginning surf students and children at the beach and only take intermediate beginners and intermediate surfers to a reef spot. After the surf lessons, you’ll get a bit of surf theory in small bites from us.
To capture your best moments on the board, our surf instructors take a few photos of you surfing every day. After your stay, you can download them at home (free of charge, of course) and look back on them.

How does family surfing work?
Relaxing together is a pleasure for body and soul. However, it is not always so easy to find relaxed moments together as a family in everyday life. Especially when the day was challenging and stressful, one hardly finds enough time for the loved ones. Relax together in an environment, where you find peace and tranquility. The moment you arrive at the island, its special atmosphere will charme you. It is not for nothing that Fuerteventura is also called “Island of Peace and Calm. Enjoy a vitalising holiday and recharge your batteries!
What can you do on Fuerteventura as a family?
FreshSurf offers you an environment for active relaxatin, with individual time and quality time for shared experiences. Time for a beach holiday, to fool around, for romping and playing or to relax and calm down with a good book. As well as surfing, parents can perhaps take part in yoga classes. You can take turns with the surf classes if your kids are still too small to take part with you. We are happy to support you on your family holiday in Fuerteventura.

How do the surf lessons for families work?
To offer surf lessons for the whole family that make old and young happy, we developed our surf lessons especially for children. We focus in our family surf lessons on safety as well as on the fun for all! The children are introduced to water and waves in a playful way. They learn to surf step by step.
The parents can surf together with their children and spend some time afterwards at the beach. These shared experiences and the joy of surfing bond together. Children are cheered on by their parents during their first attempts at take-off (and the other way around) and children are praised by their proud parents after their first rides.
All surf lessons include extensive and professional supervision by trained surf instructors.
What is included in the surf lessons for families?
Our family surf classes consist of up to 5 surf lessons (monday to friday with each 3 hours) including theory and practice. You will receive high quality surf material for the whole week. The children get extra warm wetsuits and practice on special soft surf boards for children to minimalize the risk of injuries.
What is important in the surf lessons for families?
In general we stress the importance of safety and fun. In addition to the accordingly prepared and accompanying theory parts in our surf school we also ensure that safety is a top priority on the beach and that everyone has a great time together.
What else should you know about our family surf lessons?
We try to find the best conditions with you to improve your surfing. And at the same time we want to experience great things and have a lot of fun together.
How old should be the children in the surf lessons for children?
The children should be at least 8 years old and have a good swimming ability.
Do you take pictures of the family surf session?
Since we want to capture some of your best holiday memories in the form of great photos and send them home with you, we take every day photos of our surf lessons. We put these pictures on our blog and send you a download link to the pictures after your stay. To make sure you can re-live your best waves and moments at home!

Children aged 12 and over can take part in the intermediate surf lessons (even without parents). For children under 14 who are not yet known to us, the first day always takes place on the beach.

Important for children on our surf courses! The instructions of the surf instructors must always be followed!
Safety is a matter close to our hearts, especially for the little ones, which – in addition to all the fun of a surf lesson – also requires some seriousness and rules:
The instructions of our surf coaches must be followed immediately at all times. If you repeatedly fail to follow instructions, we will unfortunately have to exclude you from the current surf course and future courses. On site, we will ask you to sign a disclaimer for you and your kids as legal guardians.
