Surfing in Tenerife
It is well known that Tenerife is a sports island. Everything is possible here, as well as flying sports, sailing, swimming, Crossfit, golf, cycling, running, wind/kite surfing and we could go on and on!
Although golf surfing is something many people cannot do at home. Because of this, it is a great idea for tourists to book a surf lesson through Club Canary.
Surfing for beginners in Las Americas
For beginners, it is really necessary to book a lesson before you start surfing. Not only will the surf instructor explain the basics of surfing but also give you information about the surf culture in Tenerife and the dangers/benefits of the local surf spots.
What do you do during a 1st surf lesson
During the 1st surf lesson you will be taught basic surfing stance, and paddle techniques. In addition, some theory will take place where explanations will be given about the surf spot and certain techniques.
In the water you will be mainly busy learning to find the right timing and recognize the appropriate waves to surf.
