In a few words
Learn to surf on one of the most beautiful coastlines in Fuerteventura, at La Pared, in the peaceful south of the island.
In a small, family-run surf school, you are at the heart of all our attention: groups limited to eight surfers per instructor, maximum time in the water and truly personalized follow-up.
Each day, we head out together to the spot offering the best conditions, carefully selected based on the tides, wind, and your skill level. The board and wetsuit are provided, as are the 2.5 to 3 hours of daily lessons.
Complete beginners learn the basics from A to Z: board handling, essential surfing rules, reading waves and weather forecasts, and water safety guidelines. More experienced surfers, on the other hand, work on their technique and wave selection.
Whether you are stepping onto a board for the very first time or wish to catch your first unbroken waves ( green waves ), you will progress in a relaxed atmosphere, away from the crowds, alongside enthusiasts.

Each day of your 5-day course follows the same simple and effective rhythm.
In the morning, we meet you or pick you up – transport to the surf spot is included, with pick-up possible from Costa Calma (free) and Esquinzo (minimal supplement) in the south of the island.
We then head out together to the spot offering the best conditions of the day, selected according to the tides, the wind and your level.
You then surf for 2.5 to 3 hours with your instructor, in a group limited to a maximum of eight people per instructor, guaranteeing you maximum time in the water and personalized attention. Surfboard and wetsuit are included.
Complete beginners start with the fundamentals: handling their board and moving safely in the ocean, paddling and taking off, navigating the whitewater, and reading currents and weather forecasts. More experienced surfers begin with a brief assessment on the first day, then work on their technique, wave selection, and personal goals. All our instructors are ISA certified and have extensive knowledge of local conditions. Exact times are arranged with you daily, as they depend on the tides.

Access
Please note: exact meeting and session end times vary depending on daily tides and surf conditions. We will confirm the precise time after your booking, so you can always surf at the best time of day.
Go to the starting point
By plane: The nearest airport is Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) , located approximately 60 km away (45 to 50 minutes by road).
To get there from France, direct or connecting flights are offered by airlines such as:
- EasyJet (direct flights from Paris CDG, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes depending on the season)
- Transavia (direct flights from Paris Orly)
- Vueling and Iberia (mainly with a stopover via Barcelona or Madrid)
- Ryanair (direct flights from Marseille, Toulouse, Brussels-Charleroi)
From the airport to the accommodation:
- By rental car: This is the easiest and recommended way to get around the island. Take the FV-2 south (Morro Jable / Jandía), then the exit onto the FV-605 and then the FV-617 to La Pared.
- By taxi: Expect to pay between €70 and €90 depending on the time and day for a direct journey from the airport (approximately 45-50 min).
- By bus (Guagua):
- Take Line 3 from the airport to the Puerto del Rosario bus station.
- Then take Line 1 (Puerto del Rosario - Morro Jable) and get off at the Costa Calma stop.
- From Costa Calma, it is necessary to take a taxi or Line 4 (check local timetables, very limited service) to travel the remaining 6 km to La Pared.
