Highlights
  • Caleta de Famara - On your Surf day, transportation will be arranged from your accommodation to Famara, which is a 30-minute journey. Upon arrival, you’ll proceed to the beach with all the necessary gear to start the theoretical part of the lesson. This is followed by a warm-up session before you hit the waves. Your instructor will accompany you in the water, ensuring your safety and providing close guidance. They’ll assist you in catching your first waves and offer tailored advice to enhance your learning experience. A brief intermission will be taken, roughly 10 minutes, to hydrate and discuss any additional tips. Depending on the group’s energy levels (as fatigue can set in), the session may conclude earlier, but this is based on a collective decision. Afterwards, you’ll gather the equipment, head back to the vehicle, change, and prepare for the return trip. Within 30 minutes, you’ll be back, undoubtedly exhausted but with a sense of fulfillment.

Additional Information

Embark on an exhilarating surfing adventure in Lanzarote. Explore the electrifying and transformative world of surfing with the guidance of our expert instructors who will journey alongside you in the water. All essential gear is provided.

Reasons that set us apart:

  • Our instructors stay in the water with learners, offering hands-on assistance—a practice that isn’t widespread, but we’re committed to it.

  • We keep the lesson durations shorter with brief intervals, since we have observed that rookies tend to tire easily. This approach ensures maximum water time with minimal breaks.

  • We capture memorable moments of the day via photos, circumstances permitting. There may be times our instructor can’t take pictures as they remain committed in the water, but whenever possible, they will, so you can treasure these moments.

  • Our approachability, zest, and patience towards learners will leave you charmed as Diego is a born teacher.

  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately

Top surf school - Everything worked smoothly, from the organization to the implementation. The team works professionally and competently. Tips for improvement were given and the video units allowed you to reflect on your own mistakes. The surf instructors were all very friendly and patient. We will definitely choose this surf school again next time.

Jas chapman - First of all, i would like the same as a previous review says. contact via WhatsApp with Barbara is an absolute pleasure - she quickly replies giving explicit explanations with lots of details and tips regarding the stay on the Island. Surf house is located within a minute walk from the beautiful, long beach which can take you all way up to Arrecife (that’s a couple of hours long walk and 90% of the time you walk in the sand!). There are shops and supermarkets and plenty of restaurants within a few minutes walk from the house. I took lesson for two days price was good, Free shuttle bus to the best surf beach of lanzarote. Lunch suits and water als included. and to be honest diejo is The best teacher ever. He is patience and gave me the motivaton and tips i needed. He really helps you and knows what to do. He is very experienced. Within a half a hour i was standing on my board and i used to be affraid for water. But i felt save with diego. All the credits are for the the teachers of 3s. Nice people, perfect boards, excellent teachers and communication. I love surfing now and i will return to this surfschool. 100 procent!

Can’t wait to do it again - It was amazing. Instructors are extremely passionate surfers and can really share their enthusiasm for surfing. I’ve never surfed before, but after three days with them I want to do it as often as possible. Each session taught me a new thing and I had a lot of fun along.

Amazing surf&yoga experience!!! - I stayed in Barbara’s and Diego’s house for 9 nights in December and had 3 surf and 3 yoga sessions. First of all, contact via WhatsApp with Barbara is an absolute pleasure - she quickly replies giving explicit explanations with lots of details and tips regarding the stay on the Island. Surf house is located within a minute walk from the beautiful, long beach which can take you all way up to Arrecife (that’s a couple of hours long walk and 90% of the time you walk in the sand!). There are shops and supermarkets and plenty of restaurants within a few minutes walk from the house. Despite area being quite touristy, house it’s self is very peaceful and quite. House is spacious, comfy and sparkling clean, even though there are 3 cats and dog living there :-D Kitchen is very well equipped with lots of storage area on the shelves and in the fridges, and every meal can be prepared in there. Surf lessons were about 30 min drive from Puerto Del Carmen, near surf village, on famous Famara beach. There were less than 8 people in the group and 2 surf instructors - Diego and Andrea 🤯 That’s almost a private surf lessons! Diego and Andrea are very patient, they have very individual approach to each learner, explaining the technique, watching your progress and approaching every learner in the water with tips and bit a a “push” to accelerate the board. I honestly don’t know what could be done better. Yoga with Barbara was a bit challenging to me because I never did yoga before and I am as stretched as a bag of concrete, but Barbara came to me and manipulated my body into the right posture and showed me easier, more accessible way of achieving certain poses - again, it did feel like a private yoga lesson :-D Morning yoga session on the beach with the sound of waves in the background - absolutely amazing :-) Because how personal Barbara’s approach is, I think this yoga is literally for everyone. There were people in the group like me, novices and also pros and we all felt comfortable and enjoyed the class. My overall satisfaction from the stay I’d rate 10/10 and I can’t wait to come again!

Highly recommended experience- surf&yoga! - I attended 3 surf lessons with Diego and 3 yoga classes with Barbara. Truly, both of the activities were amazing experience! Firstly I was up to do 2 yoga classes with Barbara, but she is such a nice, peacefull and happy soul and amazing yoga teacher, that I liked her lessons so much, that I decided to do one more on my last day:) + the location of yoga is really nice, not like anywhere I’ve ever been. Diego is great surf teacher and not just that, he was really happy when I was getting better after each lesson, so I can say he is not only hood at teaching, but you can see he takes care and is happy from “students” success. I was also accomodate in the Surf house they are providing and it was at the great location, with great vibe and if you are animal lover like I am, you will be happier than at home :) Lanzarote is beautiful and the beach where we surfed and place, where were the yoga classes are beautiful. Diego and Barbara (and their team) like what they do and you can feel it ;) The communication was easy and they were happy to help with place to eat or to see on the island. Will come back for sure!

The best experience for first time surfers - The team provided everything to first timers to try surfing the most fun and safe way: quick communication via whatsapp, transfers from hotel, wetsuits and boards. With great instructions we (teenage son and myself) were up in the board faster than I would have ever imagined. We loved it so much that booked for another session the same week - we got more tips to develop our very basic skills to turns etc. On Saturday towards noon the beach got quite crowded. So if you are considering to start surfing in Lanzarote, I would most definitely recommend this school and pick a weekday, if possible.

First time and stood up on the board - It was my first time trying surfing so I was hesitating a lot, but Diego and Andrea explained everything really well and made it seem simple. They picked us up with a van and drove to Famara beach which is very beautiful and full of people surfing. As it was our first time we were not deep and they were helping us all the time. The session was about 4 hours and I actually managed to stand up on the board 9 times which exceeded all my expectations, so thank you Diego and Andrea for the amazing experience :) I hope to come back for more surfing!

Completely beginners and we did stand up on the board!!! - I went with a friend and we spent an incredible time learning Surf, SUP and Yoga. Barbara and Diego are very professional and friendly, the classes are exceptional. We felt like they did everything on their hands to make us feel comfortable and lose any kind of fear/concern we might had at the beginning. The surfing class was around 4 hours in an outstanding beach at the north of the island, "Famara beach", a paradise for surfers. Diego and Andrea were super professional and helping you at all the times. We had no experience at all, not even with another board sport, but that was never a problem for them to teach us and make us feel like we could do it. We ended up standing on the board and riding the wave all the way to the beach :) Such an incredible feeling! CONCLUSION: By the end of all the class I felt like I learned a lot and I am 100% confident we will come back for more.
