Great experience thanks :)
Build your surf skills in San Sebastián with five beginner-friendly group lessons designed to help you progress beyond a one-off session. With 5 x 1h30 lessons, instructor guidance, equipment included, and a small group format, this bundle gives you the time and repetition needed to grow in confidence.
This 5-class surf bundle is designed for adult beginners who want a more complete introduction to surfing. Across five 1h30 group lessons, you will have time to learn the basics, practise key techniques, and return to the water regularly to build confidence. Each session begins with getting set up with the right wetsuit and surfboard before joining your instructor for safety guidance and practical coaching.
The early lessons will usually focus on the foundations, including board handling, paddling, positioning, and practising the pop-up movement. Your instructor will explain how to stay safe in the water, how to approach beginner-friendly waves, and how to improve your balance on the board. As the bundle progresses, you can start working on greater consistency, better timing, and a stronger understanding of how to catch waves more effectively.
Having five lessons gives you the benefit of repetition, which is especially important when learning to surf. Rather than trying everything in one session, you can build gradually, correct early habits, and become more comfortable in different conditions. The small group format keeps the experience social and enjoyable while still allowing for useful instructor feedback throughout the bundle.
These group surf lessons take place in Donostia-San Sebastián, one of the best-known surf destinations on the Basque coast. With its strong surf culture, easy beach access, and lively coastal setting, the city is a great place to learn the sport properly over several sessions.
The school is based on Ramón y Cajal Kalea, close to the seafront and well placed for getting ready before each lesson. You will have access to practical facilities including lockers, changing rooms, and hot showers, making each session simple from arrival through to getting changed afterwards. San Sebastián is also a great place to spend time around your lessons, with cafés, beach walks, and the wider Basque coastline nearby.
No previous surf experience is required, as this bundle is designed for adult beginners. You should be comfortable being in the sea and able to follow safety instructions from your instructor. The lessons are taught in a group format, so they are best suited to those happy to learn alongside others at a shared pace.
A minimum of 3 people is required for the group to go ahead, and the maximum group size is 6 people. You must bring swimwear to wear under your wetsuit and a towel for after each session. All main surf equipment is provided, including the surfboard, wetsuit, and required lesson equipment.
This 5-class bundle is a strong choice if you want to give surfing a proper go and make steady progress. A single lesson is useful as an introduction, but five sessions give you more time to repeat the basics, improve your confidence, and start feeling more natural in the water.
Everything is set up to make the experience convenient and easy to enjoy. The bundle includes instructor support, insurance, all required surf equipment, lockers, changing rooms, and hot showers. With small groups and repeated practice, it offers a practical and supportive way to start surfing in San Sebastián.
Yes, this bundle is designed for adult beginners, so you do not need previous surfing experience. Your instructor will guide you through the foundations, including safety, board handling, paddling, standing up, and getting comfortable in the water.
Because the bundle includes five lessons, you will have more time to practise than you would in a single session. This makes it a strong option if you want to learn properly and build confidence over several lessons.
Each lesson lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. The bundle includes five separate group lessons, giving you a total of 7 hours 30 minutes of surf instruction and practice time.
This structure allows you to return to the water multiple times and repeat the key movements. Surfing takes practice, so having five sessions can help you progress more naturally.
The lessons run in small groups with a maximum of 6 people. This keeps the experience sociable while still giving the instructor time to provide useful feedback and support.
A minimum of 3 people is required to form the group. If the minimum number is not met, the team may need to confirm the best available option or suggest an alternative time.
All required surf equipment is included in the bundle. This includes your surfboard, wetsuit, and the necessary material for each lesson.
You will also have access to lockers, changing rooms, and hot showers. This makes each session more convenient, especially if you are visiting San Sebastián or heading somewhere afterwards.
Yes, you need to bring swimwear and a towel for each lesson. Swimwear is worn underneath the wetsuit, and your towel will be needed after the session when you shower and change.
It is also worth bringing water, sun protection, and dry clothes for afterwards. You do not need to bring a surfboard or wetsuit, as these are included.
Yes, insurance is included as part of the 5-class surf lesson bundle. It is included alongside the instructor, surf equipment, lockers, hot showers, and changing rooms.
You should still listen carefully to the instructor and follow all safety guidance. Surfing takes place in the sea, so awareness and respect for the conditions are important.
Yes, this bundle can still be suitable if you have tried surfing once or twice and are still at beginner level. The five lessons can help you repeat the basics, improve your consistency, and become more confident in the water.
If you are already confident surfing independently or want advanced technical coaching, a private lesson may be more suitable. This bundle is mainly aimed at adults learning the foundations.
The lessons take place in San Sebastián, on the Basque coast. The school is based on Ramón y Cajal Kalea, close to the seafront and well positioned for accessing the beach.
Exact meeting details should be confirmed with the booking. It is best to arrive on time so you can get changed, collect your equipment, and join the safety briefing before heading to the water.
Surf lessons depend on sea and weather conditions, especially for beginners. If conditions are not suitable for a safe or useful lesson, the team may advise on the best next step or alternative timing.
This is normal for surf activities, as safety and good learning conditions come first. It is worth keeping an eye on booking updates or messages before each session.
A single lesson is a great way to try surfing, but five lessons give you much more time to practise and improve. You can repeat the key techniques, build confidence, and start to feel more comfortable reading the water.
This bundle is ideal if you want a structured introduction to surfing rather than a one-off experience. With instructor guidance, small groups, equipment, insurance, and facilities included, it is a convenient way to make real progress.
