Surfing lesson in Playa de Las Americas: Semi-private, 2 hours

Two hours in the water: theory, practice, and a photo breakdown of what you did

A semi-private surfing lesson in Playa de Las Americas for two or more people, taught one-on-one with an instructor who speaks English, Spanish, Russian or Latvian. The lesson runs two hours and covers theory, practical surfing, and a photo analysis of your session. Wetsuit, reef booties and surfboard are provided. Children from age 6 are welcome.

The experience

What makes this lesson different is the language: the school teaches in English, Spanish, Russian and Latvian, so you're not translating instructions while trying to balance on a board. The instructor meets you at Playa de Las Americas, which sits on the south coast and holds the calmest water for learning: the reason the school chose it as their teaching spot. You'll spend two hours in the water, starting with the theory of how to read the waves and position yourself, then moving into the practical part where you actually stand up and ride.

The lesson includes a wetsuit, reef booties to protect your feet on the reef, and a surfboard sized to your level. After you're done in the water, the instructor walks through photos of your session so you can see what worked and what to practice next time. The school takes groups of two or more people, pairing you with others at the same level so the instruction stays focused on what you need.

Is this one for you?The semi-private format works well if you're traveling with a friend or family member at the same level, since you'll get one-on-one attention without the cost of a fully private lesson. If you're staying in Playa de Las Americas or nearby, the lesson runs right at the beach. If you're elsewhere on the island, public transportation reaches the area.
