Great experience thanks :)
Spend the weekend learning to surf in San Sebastián with two beginner-friendly group lessons. With two 1h30 sessions, instructor guidance, equipment included, and a small group format, this pack gives you more time to practise, improve, and build confidence in the water.
This weekend surf pack is designed for adult beginners who want more than a single introduction to surfing. Across two 1h30 group lessons, you will have time to learn the basics, practise key movements, and return to the water for a second session to build on what you have already covered. Each lesson starts with getting set up with the right wetsuit and surfboard before joining your instructor for a safety briefing and technique introduction.
The first session 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 start building confidence on the board. Once in the sea, you will put those basics into practice with guidance and support throughout the lesson.
The second session gives you the chance to repeat, improve, and feel more comfortable in the water. Having two lessons over the weekend makes it easier to consolidate what you have learned, improve your balance, and start developing better timing when catching waves. The small group format keeps the experience social and enjoyable while still allowing for useful instructor feedback.
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 try surfing for the first time or build confidence after an initial lesson.
The school is based on Ramón y Cajal Kalea, close to the seafront and well placed for getting ready before each session. You will have access to practical facilities including lockers, changing rooms, and hot showers, making the experience simple from arrival through to getting changed afterwards. San Sebastián is also ideal for a weekend visit, with beach walks, cafés, and the wider Basque coastline nearby.
No previous surf experience is required, as this weekend pack 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 2-lesson weekend pack is a great option if you want a fuller introduction to surfing without committing to a longer course. One lesson gives you the basics, but two sessions allow you to practise again, correct early mistakes, and feel more confident in the water by the end of the weekend.
Everything is set up to make the experience convenient and easy to enjoy. The pack includes instructor support, insurance, all required surf equipment, lockers, changing rooms, and hot showers. With small groups and a beginner-friendly structure, it offers a practical and enjoyable way to learn to surf in San Sebastián.et up to make the experience simple and convenient. The price includes instructor support, insurance, all required surf equipment, lockers, changing rooms, and hot showers.

Yes, this pack is designed for adult beginners, so you do not need any previous surfing experience. Your instructor will guide you through the basics, including safety, board handling, paddling, standing up, and getting comfortable in the water.
Because the pack includes two lessons, you have more time to practise than you would in a single session. This makes it a good option if you want to try surfing properly over a weekend rather than only having one short introduction.
Each lesson lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. The pack 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 several times, repeat key movements, and improve gradually. Surfing takes practice, so having multiple sessions can make a real difference for beginners.
The lessons run in small groups with a maximum of 6 people. This keeps the experience social while still allowing the instructor to give useful feedback and support during the session.
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 price. This includes your surfboard, wetsuit, and the necessary material for the 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. Swimwear is worn underneath the wetsuit, and your towel will be needed after the lesson when you shower and change.
It is also sensible to bring water, sun protection, and dry clothes for after the session. You do not need to bring your own surfboard or wetsuit, as these are included.
Yes, insurance is included as part of the 5-lesson pack. It is included alongside the instructor, surf equipment, lockers, hot showers, and changing rooms.
You should still listen carefully to your instructor and follow all safety guidance. Surfing takes place in the sea, so awareness and respect for the conditions are important.
Yes, this pack can still be suitable if you have tried surfing once or twice and are still at beginner level. The repeated sessions can help you become more consistent and comfortable in the water.
If you are already confident surfing independently or want advanced technical coaching, a private lesson may be more suitable. This pack 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 good introduction, but five lessons give you more time to practise and improve. Surfing involves balance, timing, confidence, and repetition, so multiple sessions can help you progress more naturally.
This pack is also better value if you already know you want to continue after your first class. With instructor guidance, small groups, equipment, insurance, and facilities included, it offers a structured and convenient way to start surfing.
