PRIVATE HOLISTIC SURF COACHING
Welcome to the only dedicated private surf school in Lanzarote. If you would like to learn to surf or improve your surfing while understanding why we base surfing around you personally then this is the place for you. Many surf schools focus on volume of clients and not actually focusing on teaching surfing. This approach gets quick results for standing on the board but looses the actual basis of your exploration into the world of surfing and how it fits you and you fit it. My goal is to help you understand why surfing is so personal and how your relationship and experience with the Ocean can help you achieve so much more than just standing on the board.Surf Smarter, Not Harder
Surf coaching often focuses only on getting you to your feet, which leads to poor technique, injury, and loss of motivation. Our approach gives you understanding and personal experience so you’re not just standing, but truly learning the why, what, and how to become the surfer you want to be. A private surf lesson saves you time and money while keeping you motivated with ongoing tips through our social channels. You’ll also receive exercises to practice between lessons so you’re ready for your next surf trip. In a private session, you’ll learn to read ocean conditions, recognize rip currents, select waves, position correctly on the board, paddle efficiently, pop up with proper form, trim, turn, and improve posture and breathing. The best way to progress is with clear guidance tailored to your personality and ability. Instead of being told to simply “paddle harder,” you’ll get personalized adjustments that make surfing easier and more achievable. Our goal is to turn you into your own instructor—able to problem-solve and understand why certain techniques work while others don’t.
