Longboard coaching, tuned to you. In Caleta de Famara, this private longboard lesson is built for fast technique gains with one coach focusing on your stance, your style, and your safety. I also really like that the wetsuit and longboard are included, plus you finish with a beach snack. One consideration: the session depends on the ocean and weather, so you’ll want a little flexibility.

What makes this feel different is the attention to the details that usually slow people down. You’ll get instruction in English, and there’s an option to record you and review the footage after the lesson—an efficient way to spot what your body is actually doing. If you’re serious about leveling up, that feedback loop matters.

You meet at 35558 Caleta de Famara, Las Palmas, Spain and the experience ends back there, so you’re not dealing with awkward transfers or guessing where you should be. For the most part, most people can join, but it’s still a real surf setting: go with good conditions, and expect to learn in the real rhythm of the beach and waves.

Key things to know before you go

• Private 1-on-1 coaching for quicker progress than group classes
• Wetsuit and longboard included, so you can travel lighter
• Optional video recording and review to make corrections stick
• Beach snack included, so you’re not hunting food mid-lesson
• English instruction and a coach who mixes technique with safety
• Caleta de Famara location in Lanzarote, right where longboard surfers like to practice

Caleta de Famara and the Longboard Gliders setup

Caleta de Famara has that longboard-friendly vibe. It’s a spot where you can practice the kind of smooth, steady riding that longboards are all about. This is also the kind of place where coaching helps fast—because even when you think you’re doing everything right, your stance and timing usually need small, specific tweaks.

This experience runs as a private tour/activity. That matters. You’re not waiting your turn or getting generic advice meant for the loudest person in the class. You get a focused flow: observe what you’re doing, coach what to change, then let you try again.

The provider is Longboard Gliders, and the instructor you’ll often hear praised by name is Niccolò (Niccolo). The reviews paint a consistent picture: patient, professional, and fun—plus very practical safety guidance about the ocean. That combination is exactly what you want on your first longboard day, and it’s also great when you’ve surfed before but can’t seem to fix a recurring problem.

Price and what you actually get for $120.16

At $120.16 per person for about 2 hours, this isn’t a budget “try surfing” add-on. But it’s also not priced like a fancy gear rental and a separate coaching session. The value here is that your money goes into a private lesson with equipment and a small built-in recovery moment.

Here’s the value breakdown you can rely on:

• Longboard + wetsuit are included in the price
• Private instruction means you’re paying for time and attention, not a seat
• Optional video can help you improve faster than memory alone
• A snack on the beach is included, so you’re not scrambling after you’re tired

When I think about whether it’s a good deal, I ask a simple question: will you get enough coaching touches to make the lesson worth it? A private class usually answers yes—because the coach can target your exact form and progress you while you’re still receptive.

If you’ve already got your own gear and you’re fully confident, the price might feel like extra. But if you’re traveling to Lanzarote and want a direct path to better technique, the included wetsuit/board is a real savings. Plus, the video option is one of those features that can pay off for future sessions once you know what to fix.

Gear included: wetsuit and longboard, no guesswork

This lesson includes the big essentials: a wetsuit and a longboard. That removes a common stress point. You won’t waste your first hour negotiating rentals, figuring out sizes, or trying to make a borrowed board feel like yours.

What I like about included gear is that it changes how you approach the lesson. You can show up focused, warm, and ready to work on technique. You also don’t have to worry that your board setup will be slightly off for your learning stage.

One small practical note: you’re still in a real surf environment. So while the gear is provided, you’ll want to treat the wetsuit and board handoff as part of your prep. If you start cold or distracted, it’s harder to absorb the coaching.

The 2-hour lesson flow on the beach and in waves

The experience lasts about 2 hours and runs from the Caleta de Famara meeting point (35558 Caleta de Famara, Las Palmas, Spain) back to the same location. That simple start-and-finish rhythm is underrated. It keeps your day moving without turning the surf lesson into a half-day navigation puzzle.

Even with only two hours, private surf coaching can be very productive because the coach can:

• explain what to do,
• watch you do it,
• and adjust your technique immediately.

In this class, the emphasis is on longboard fundamentals plus real safety. The reviews mention learning about the ocean and techniques in a thorough way, with Niccolo described as patient and careful. That matters especially if you’re nervous about getting into the water or you’ve had a scary experience before. The coaching approach here seems designed to rebuild confidence while you improve.

During your time together, expect the session to be a mix of technique coaching and actual attempts on the board. Because you’re private, the coach can slow down or speed up based on how you’re progressing. Several reviews mention people being able to do meaningful steps quickly—some even describe progress in just two days.

Possible drawback to keep in mind: this is not a theoretical lecture. If you’re expecting a long, comfortable lesson where you never get tired or cold, surf isn’t built that way. You’ll be doing the work in the real conditions, and you’ll learn by trying.

Video analysis: the fast track to fixing technique

One of the most useful features is the option to record students and analyze the video after the lesson. This is where longboard learning gets quicker, because you stop relying on what you thought happened.

A common issue in surf is that your body feels one thing, but the camera shows something else. The video review can highlight details like:

• how you’re setting your feet,
• where your weight shifts during the ride,
• and what your posture looks like when you’re actually trying to catch and hold the line.

The reviews specifically mention that Niccolo makes great videos. That suggests the recording isn’t treated like a novelty. It’s tied to feedback and progress.

If you like structure—if you want to improve in a measurable way—video is a strong reason to book. Even if you’re not sure you’ll use the footage later, you may spot one fix that changes your next session right away.

Snack on the beach: small comfort, big payoff

A snack on the beach is included. It sounds simple, but it helps the experience feel complete. After about two hours in water, you’re usually hungry and a bit mentally drained. A snack means you can refuel without turning your lesson into a post-session hunt.

This also makes the timing easier. You’re not forced to plan a meal immediately after in a place you don’t know yet. You can just take a breath, eat, and then decide what you want to do next in Caleta de Famara.

Who this lesson suits best (and who might pause)

This private lesson is a good fit if:

• you want faster improvement than group lessons,
• you’re a beginner who wants safety + confidence built in,
• you’re an intermediate who needs specific technique corrections,
• you travel with limited surf gear and want wetsuit and board included.

The reviews include mention that even children were able to get up from the board easily on a second day, which points to coaching that can adjust to different experience levels. There’s also a strong theme of patience, professionalism, and a fun vibe—so it’s not just strict correction.

You might want to think twice if you’re booking without any flexibility in weather. The experience requires good weather, and if conditions aren’t right you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. Surf is like that in Lanzarote: great days happen, and not-so-great days need a plan.

Meet your instructor: Niccolo’s style of coaching

Names matter in travel. When multiple reviews consistently highlight the same instructor, it’s a clue about the real experience you can expect.

Niccolò (Niccolo) is described as:

• very professional and fun,
• patient and thorough,
• focused on safety and technique,
• and quick to help surfers feel safe again after scary moments.

One review even frames it as getting back in the water and feeling safe and happy again—exactly the emotional value that matters, because confidence often controls progress. Another review mentions learning longboard steps and feeling a strong reward from doing it correctly.

If you care about more than just catching waves—if you want a coach who can explain, correct, and keep things encouraging—this seems like a strong match.
