We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Book a private 1.5-hour surf lesson in El Palmar for focused coaching that matches your level. Board and wetsuit are included, with options for one person or a small shared private group.
You meet your instructor, kit up and set goals for the session. Beginners spend more time on land safety and pop-ups; improvers move into the water faster to maximise wave count.
In the water the coach stays with you, feeding waves, correcting timing and building the skills you asked for. Shared private groups work best when everyone is at a similar level.
After 1.5 hours you rinse off, return kit and leave with clear pointers for your next session. Morning and afternoon slots are offered subject to tides.
El Palmar on the Costa de la Luz is a sandy beach break that works for first rides and for refining green-wave surfing when the swell is right. The school is on the beachfront for quick access.
Sessions can move to Conil, Barbate or Caños de Meca when those beaches offer safer or better waves, so private coaching still happens in workable conditions.
All levels are welcome. You should be comfortable swimming in the sea and happy in cool Atlantic water with a wetsuit.
Share medical notes, ages of children and goals when you book so the instructor can plan the 1.5 hours well.
Private coaching means the instructor's full attention is on your movement and wave choice. Spanish and English instruction, included kit and small shared-private options keep learning efficient.
Tide-led timing and optional hostel transfers make the logistics simple so your session time stays in the water, not in transit guesswork.
Meet your instructor at the beach school, collect kit sized for you and agree clear goals for the 1.5 hours ahead so coaching starts focused from the first wave.
Beginners practise take-offs on the sand with safety cues; improvers get a short conditions brief before paddling out. Coaching stays one-to-one or with your small private group throughout.
In the water you work wave by wave with continuous feedback on timing, stance and positioning, then rinse off and return equipment when the session ends.
Meet at the beachfront school on Paseo Marítimo in El Palmar (11159). Exact timing is confirmed closer to the day around tides.
Ask about Conil hostel transfers if you are staying there. Parking and lockers are available at the school.
Private lessons last 1.5 hours with board and wetsuit included. Morning and afternoon slots are offered when conditions allow, and coaching stays focused on the goals you set with your instructor.
Confirm timing the day before because tides and swell can shift the best window for coaching on El Palmar and nearby beaches.
You get dedicated coaching tailored to your level, from first take-offs to refining green-wave surfing. Friends or family at a similar level can share the session as a small private group without joining a mixed public class.
Maximum size for a private booking is five people with one instructor so attention stays personal and progression does not stall between different ability bands.
Board and wetsuit are included. School clients also use lockers, changing rooms, hot showers, parking and a poncho or towel during the session so logistics stay simple around your water time.
Bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen and a dry change of clothes for afterwards. Leave valuables in lockers rather than on the beach.
Meet at the El Palmar beachfront school unless the team moves you to a better nearby beach for the conditions that day. That flexibility keeps private coaching in workable waves rather than forcing a poor fixed spot.
Conil hostel guests can ask about transfers to the beach school when they make the booking request so arrival matches the confirmed start window.
Spanish and English are standard. Request another language before booking if needed so the team can check instructor availability for your preferred slot.
Tell the team your preferred language with the booking request so coaching cues stay clear throughout the 1.5 hours.
The team may adjust start time or beach when conditions demand it, and will contact you with options that still allow useful coaching. Private sessions focus on the safest workable waves available that day.
If a change is needed you will hear options for another window rather than being left guessing on the morning of the lesson.
Any level from complete beginner to improver can book. Tell the coach your goals so the 1.5 hours are paced correctly for you or your group, whether that means whitewater take-offs or green-wave selection.
Children under eight are usually best on private lessons rather than the dedicated kids group classes, so share ages when you request.
Bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen and a dry change of clothes. Everything else for the water session is provided, including board and wetsuit sizing at check-in.
Use lockers for phones and wallets rather than leaving valuables on the beach, and pack a water bottle if you like a drink between waves.
School clients typically get lockers, showers, parking, poncho or towel, terrace access and hostel transfers when staying in Conil. Those extras keep the day practical around your coaching time.
Mention transfer needs when you book so timing can line up with your lesson instead of being arranged at the last minute.
Shared private groups work best when everyone is at a similar surf level so the coach is not splitting focus between whitewater and green-wave goals in the same hour and a half.
If levels differ widely, ask the team before you book whether separate sessions would serve you better or whether a private format can still be paced for mixed abilities.
