Every child learns differently, which is why these surf lessons are designed to build confidence in a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment. Taking place on the sandy shores of Caleta de Famara, each session encourages young surfers to develop new skills while having plenty of fun in the water.
From the moment the lesson begins, children are welcomed into a relaxed and encouraging environment where learning feels fun rather than intimidating. After being fitted with a wetsuit and surfboard, the instructor explains the basics of surfing through simple demonstrations, introducing beach safety, ocean awareness, and how the equipment works in an easy-to-understand way.
Before heading into the sea, young surfers practise key movements on the sand, including paddling positions and standing up on the board. Once everyone is ready, it's time to enjoy the water under the close supervision of experienced instructors, who provide plenty of encouragement while adapting the session to each child's confidence and ability.
Throughout the lesson, the focus remains on helping every child enjoy their time in the ocean while developing practical surfing skills at their own pace. Small group sizes allow instructors to provide individual attention, ensuring every participant feels supported from their very first wave through to the end of the session.
Stretching along Lanzarote's beautiful north-west coastline, Caleta de Famara provides an excellent setting for children's surf lessons thanks to its wide sandy beach and spacious shoreline. The open beach gives instructors plenty of room to select areas that are appropriate for younger surfers and changing conditions.
Families will also find plenty to enjoy nearby, with cafés, restaurants, and open spaces where parents can relax while lessons take place. The welcoming atmosphere makes it a popular destination for visitors spending the day by the coast.
Children must be at least six years old and able to swim confidently before joining a lesson. No previous surfing experience is needed, as everything is taught from the very beginning using age-appropriate coaching techniques.
Comfortable swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and drinking water are recommended. Most importantly, bringing plenty of enthusiasm helps children get the most from their surfing adventure.
Helping children discover surfing is about much more than standing up on a board. Every lesson is designed to encourage confidence, independence, teamwork, and a lasting enjoyment of being in the ocean, all while maintaining a strong focus on safety.
Mateo and the experienced instructors understand that every child learns differently, so lessons are adapted to suit each participant's confidence and ability. Their friendly approach helps create an enjoyable experience that leaves young surfers excited to return for another session.
Children can join these lessons from the age of six, provided they are comfortable in the water and able to swim confidently. The instructors adapt their coaching to suit younger surfers, helping them learn safely while keeping the experience enjoyable.
