“Pretty much perfect..... I'll be back....”

Reviewed May 29, 2013

I don't think you could ask for a more enthusiastic team. Tim, Dan and Jake are fantastic at what they do and more importantly enjoy it. And that rubs off. I progressed everyday I was there and have picked up a lot more to take away with me. The beach is heaven, sand as far as you can see, great... More

“Use these guys if you want to learn about surfing”

Reviewed May 23, 2013

There is an important difference with these guys and other surf schools - they teach you about surfing, not just how to stand on a foam surf board. I noticeably improved during my time there; More than that I've taken away so much knowledge that will mean I continue to improve between now and when I go back. It's no... More

“Amazing experience!!!”

Reviewed May 23, 2013 via mobile

This one was my fourth time in Famara with this school and it won't be the last!!! Lessons are simply amazing and focused on the skills of every single attendee. It doesn't matter the level you are or the conditions of the sea, during every lesson you will learn something new! Instructors are not only excellent surfers and professional teachers,... More

“You'll never see more enthusiasm for surfing anywhere else!”

Reviewed April 28, 2013

I took a 3 day course from this school and from the get-go you are almost overwhelmed with the enthusiasm and friendliness from Tim and his team. Tim is extremely knowledgable about all aspects of surfing, even delivering mini-lectures in lunchtime for your interest! Excellent instruction and patience throughout as well as an excellent collection service and great communication. I... More

“Wonderful Surf School Lanzerote”

Reviewed April 15, 2013

Being coached by Surf School Lanzerote is such a great thing to do! With practically no previous surfing experience the instructors had me standing on my board by mid-morning on the first day! The professional and fun instructors gave talks every day on safety, rip tides, types of waves, wave formation, riding unbroken waves, surfing etiquette, types of boards, wet... More

I cannot rate Surf School Lanzarote highly enough - I have never in the past returned to a holiday destination but after experiencing a five day course in Famara with Tim, Dan and Jake in 2012, we were back in 2013 and we're planning on returning next year! The coaching is personalised and the passion and enthusiasm for the sport... More

“Fun and educational”

Reviewed April 5, 2013

Husband and son Jack spent 3 days with Tim and Jake and enjoyed every moment. Tim is a mine of information and has coached many surfing champions over the years but most impressive of all is the way that himself and Jake can pass on all their knowledge and expertise. Anyone who can get my husband up on a board... More
