Group Surf Lessons: 2-Hour Sessions at a Hidden Spot

Your instructor surfs alongside you, giving real-time tips as you catch waves together.

Group surf lessons run two hours from the moment you reach the sand, mixing a warm-up and beach theory with time in the water at a quiet surf spot away from the crowds. The 1:6 instructor-to-student ratio means personalized feedback tailored to your skill level. Beginners get board stabilization and push assistance. Intermediate surfers get real-time technique tips from an instructor in the water with you. Wetsuits, surf shoes, leash and rash guard are included. The shop sits 100 meters from shore so you can change and store valuables. Lessons run in English, Spanish or Italian, and are open to surfers aged 14 and up.

The experience

A full two-hour session starts the moment you step onto the sand, not when you arrive at the shop. That means a dynamic warm-up and beach theory followed by genuine time in the water: no rushed transitions eating into your practice. The instructor adjusts everything to where you are: if you're starting out, they'll use flippers to stabilize your board and time your push into the waves. If you've surfed before, they'll paddle out alongside you, watching your technique and calling adjustments as you're actually riding. After you're done, a light stretch and a rinse at the shop gets you ready for whatever comes next.

The spot itself is chosen for focus. It sits away from the tourist breaks, which means smaller crowds and an environment built around learning rather than spectating. You're sharing the session with others your age and skill level, so the energy comes from a crew working toward the same thing: catching waves, improving, and celebrating each other's breakthroughs. The 1:6 ratio is strict, which is what makes the personalized attention possible without the price tag of a private lesson.

Your shop is 100 meters from the shore, close enough that you're not losing time to a walk but far enough that it's a real base. Change there, store your phone and keys, rinse off after. Wetsuits, shoes, leash and rash guard are all provided. You bring nothing but yourself and a willingness to paddle.

What's the water like at this surf spot, and is it good for someone who's never surfed before?
