Designed around your individual goals, these private surf lessons provide focused coaching and the flexibility to learn at your own pace. From first-time surfers to experienced riders looking to refine their technique, every session is adapted to suit your ability and objectives.
After meeting your instructor and getting fitted with the appropriate surfboard and wetsuit, you'll discuss your current experience level and what you would like to achieve during the session. This allows the lesson to be tailored specifically to your needs, whether that means learning the basics or working on more advanced techniques.
Following a safety briefing and assessment of the day's conditions, you'll begin practical coaching both on the beach and in the water. Beginners typically focus on paddling, balance, timing and standing up on the board, while more experienced surfers may work on positioning, wave selection, turning techniques and improving overall performance. Throughout the session, your instructor provides continuous feedback to help you progress more efficiently.
Because the lesson is entirely focused on you, the coaching can adapt as you improve. Areas that require additional attention can be explored in greater depth, while skills that come naturally can be developed further, creating a highly personalised learning experience.
Stretching along the Cantabrian coastline, Somo Beach provides an excellent setting for private surf coaching. The wide sandy beach offers plenty of space and a variety of wave conditions, allowing instructors to select suitable areas based on your ability level and the day's surf.
Beyond the shoreline, the area offers a relaxed seaside atmosphere with local cafés, restaurants and coastal viewpoints overlooking Santander Bay. Its combination of reliable waves and welcoming surroundings has made Somo a popular destination for surfers of all levels.
Participants must be at least 6 years old and able to swim confidently. Private lessons are suitable for complete beginners through to experienced surfers.
No previous surfing experience is necessary. Each lesson is adapted to your ability level, allowing you to progress comfortably while building confidence in the water.
Built on years of teaching experience, Andrea and the coaching team focus on creating lessons that adapt to each individual rather than following a fixed programme. This approach helps students develop confidence, improve technique and gain a stronger understanding of the ocean.
Keeping lessons personal allows instructors to provide detailed feedback and tailored coaching throughout the session. Combined with quality equipment and a genuine passion for teaching, it creates an enjoyable environment for learning and progression.
Private lessons are suitable for anyone looking for a more personalised approach to learning. Complete beginners often appreciate the dedicated support, while experienced surfers benefit from focused coaching aimed at specific areas of improvement.
Because the entire lesson is built around your needs, the instructor can adjust the pace, exercises and objectives throughout the session to maximise your progress.
