If you have surfed a little before, you are welcome too, just tell your instructor your level so the session suits you.

La Opinión Sincera de Club Canary
Hablando en serio de su equipo local en las Islas Canarias
If you have ever fancied trying surfing, Famara is a lovely place to start. It is a proper surf beach with space and gentle beginner waves, and a good instructor makes all the difference on your first go, you will likely stand up sooner than you think.
Two honest notes: you do need to be able to swim and be reasonably active, this is not a sit-back activity, and nobody can promise the waves or a set number of rides on the day. Also remember there is no card machine on the beach, so bring cash or be ready for a transfer or Bizum.
Come for a fun first surf with a friendly local school, not a pro training camp, and you will have a great time.
