Two hours to your first real wave.

This Lanzarote surf lesson runs from Caleta de Famara (start at C. Chirimoya, 15) and focuses on fundamentals in the beachside setting near Lanzarote’s surf-friendly reserves. It’s a small group too (max 6), so you get more than a generic walk-through.

I love the way the instructors coach you while you’re actually learning—names you’ll hear around the water include Dejan, Garo, Glauco, Rui, and Virginia, and the vibe is patient but firm. I also love that the experience often stretches beyond just surfing, with yoga feedback showing up as a real part of the day, including aerial yoga after you’ve worked your body.

One thing to consider is the timing. The schedule shows 2 hours approx, while the broader surf-day promise can feel longer depending on conditions, so it’s smart to ask what the water time will look like on your date.

Key things that make this Lanzarote surf lesson work

• Small-group coaching (max 6) so you get more corrections and less waiting around
• Beginner focus with basics taught so you can stand and ride sooner
• Equipment provided, so you don’t waste your holiday schlepping gear
• Coaches who give technique feedback, with instructors like Dejan known for video/photo skills
• Yoga after surfing, including aerial yoga mentioned as a favorite pairing
• Famara’s learning conditions, including comments about warm water even in winter

Famara surf time: why this part of Lanzarote fits beginners

Caleta de Famara puts you close to one of the island’s easiest “learn-to-surf” zones. Famara is calm, laid-back, and geared for repeat sessions—perfect if you’re trying to improve quickly instead of just ticking a box.

The lesson happens at a beachside reserve surf spot. That matters because you’re not starting out in chaos. You’re in a place where instructors can manage safety, spacing, and wave timing in a way that feels practical for new surfers.

Price and Logistics: the essentials before you book

At $88.94 per person for about 2 hours approx, this is positioned as a focused, skill-based session rather than a full-day production. The value check here is simple: small group size plus guided instruction plus equipment usually beats trying to improvise surfing solo.

Here’s how the logistics line up:

• Start time: 10:00 am
• Meeting point: C. Chirimoya, 15, 35558 Caleta de Famara, Las Palmas, Spain
• End: activity ends back at the meeting point
• Ticket: mobile ticket
• Group size: maximum of 6 travelers
• Confirmation: received at booking time unless you book within 12 hours of travel

One practical heads-up: the cancellation terms are strict—this experience is non-refundable and can’t be changed. If your plans are shaky, build in buffer time so you’re not gambling with weather and scheduling.

What happens during the session (and what you should watch for)

This is the kind of surf lesson where the “real work” happens on the beach and in the first rides—not just in a long theory talk.

1) Arrival and getting set up

You meet at the scheduled point and head to the surf spot. Equipment is provided, which saves you time and helps instructors match gear to your size and comfort level. You’ll usually get a safety and usage briefing before you go near the water.

2) First coaching: stance, paddling, and reading waves

Your instructors guide the basics so you can make the right movements at the right moment. The strongest theme across the experience is correction in real time—watch for feedback that targets what you do between waves, not just what you do once you’re already on a board.

If your instructor is someone like Dejan, you may also notice an emphasis on capturing your progress. He’s described as a strong videomaker/photographer, and that kind of feedback loop can help you improve faster because you’re not guessing what went wrong.

3) Water time with active instruction

This is where the small group size earns its keep. In a bigger class, you wait for your turn and hope the waves line up. Here, you tend to get more attention as you practice paddling, timing, and standing up.

Also, the water conditions here are often described as warm, even outside peak summer. That doesn’t mean you won’t feel the chill at the margins, but it’s usually friendlier for first-timers than colder surf destinations.

4) Wrap-up and back to the meeting point

After you’ve worked through the lesson progression, you return to where you started. The goal is to leave you with better wave confidence than you had at 10:00 am, not just a quick splash and a polite goodbye.

The coaching style: names you might meet and why it matters

LanzaSurf’s instruction approach comes through clearly in the way different instructors are praised: they’re supportive, focused, and quick to adjust. You’ll hear names like Garo, Dejan, Virginia, Glauco, Federico, and Rui—and each shows up in feedback as someone who helped beginners build confidence fast.

What that means for you on the water:

• You’re not stuck with one blanket cue. You get feedback tied to your specific attempt.
• Corrections happen while you’re still learning, so you can try the fix immediately on the next wave.
• The instructors keep safety and comfort front and center, which matters a lot when your body is still figuring out paddling rhythm and balance.

If you’re returning to surfing after a break, that same coaching style can still help. Even if you already know the basics, you’ll usually benefit from targeted adjustments—especially with timing and wave selection, where small changes make a big difference.

Surf plus yoga: why your body will thank you

This is one of the easiest ways to turn a surf lesson into an experience that feels complete. Yoga shows up repeatedly alongside surfing, and aerial yoga is specifically mentioned as a highlight after you get your wave practice in.

Why this pairing works for beginners:

• Surf uses your core and legs more than most people expect.
• Yoga helps you recover without feeling like you need a full gym session afterward.
• Aerial-style work (when included) can feel playful rather than intense, and it helps you move with more control—useful right away for paddling and standing balance.

You don’t need to be bendy to enjoy it. The “after surf” timing is the key—stretch while your body is still warm, then carry that flexibility into your next session.

Who this lesson is best for (and who might want a different option)

This surf lesson is designed for beginners and people who want to improve over a short stay. Most people can participate, and the coaching style is built around helping you progress quickly without feeling lost.

It’s also a good fit if:

• You want small-group attention
• You’d like provided gear (so you can travel lighter)
• You’re the type who enjoys a friendly, family-like surf vibe, not a strict boot camp

It may be less ideal if you’re an advanced surfer chasing advanced maneuvers. A beginner-focused structure will prioritize fundamentals, so you might feel like you’re doing the basics longer than you expected.

Is it worth $88.94 in Lanzarote?

Value is tricky with surf lessons, because the difference between cheap and good isn’t the board—it’s the coaching time and the way the group is managed.

Here’s how this one holds up for your money:

• Max 6 people means more instructor attention
• Equipment provided reduces hidden costs and hassle
• Clear beginner instruction increases your odds of standing up and feeling real progress
• Yoga (including aerial yoga mention) gives you something extra beyond surfing alone

If you’re booking this as your first surf experience, it’s the kind of lesson that can set a strong baseline quickly. If you’re trying to improve during a short Lanzarote trip, a structured, coached session is usually more efficient than trying to learn on your own.

Should you book LanzaSurf in Famara?

I’d book it if you want a beginner-friendly Lanzarote surf lesson with small-group coaching, provided gear, and a good chance of leaving with real confidence. The coaching names you’ll hear—Dejan, Garo, Virginia, Glauco, Rui, and others—are repeatedly linked with patience and hands-on correction, and that’s exactly what first-timers need.

I’d hesitate if your schedule is fragile, since cancellations are non-refundable. Also, if you’re extremely sensitive to timing (because your expectation might be “half day” vs “2 hours approx”), message ahead so you know how your date will run in real conditions.

If you’re flexible and you’re ready to learn in a friendly setup, this is an easy yes for most people who land in Lanzarote looking to catch their first waves.
