Las Palmas: Learn to Surf with a Special Price for Two Group

The best part of this Gran Canaria surf lesson is its simple promise: you and one companion learn the basics together, then take those first wobbly attempts into the water. The instructor chooses a beach with suitable conditions, so you are not left guessing where a beginner should start. A past lesson led by Ezekiel was especially careful about technique and safety while still allowing plenty of time to surf.

I like the two-person price, which works out to $58.50 each when two people share the $117 booking. I also like the practical setup: wetsuits, boards, insurance, beach teaching, and safety videos are included, so you can arrive without building your own kit list.

The main thing to check is the timing. The activity is listed as four hours, while one description calls it a five-hour course. Confirm the exact schedule when you book, and remember that the listed meeting point is in the south of Gran Canaria unless pickup from south-area accommodation is arranged.

Key points to know before you book

• A good first surf lesson: The class is aimed at beginners and people still learning the basics.
• Built for two: The $117 price covers up to two people, making it useful for friends or couples.
• Small class size: The group is limited to 10 participants, which gives the instructor a reasonable chance to watch your progress.
• Safety comes first: You receive tutorials, safety videos, insurance, and instruction from officially certified instructors.
• Equipment is supplied: Your wetsuit and surfboard are included, along with practical and theory lessons on the beach.
• Pickup depends on location: Accommodation pickup and drop-off are included only for the south area.

Starting at the Pro Surfing Company school

Your day begins at the Pro Surfing Company school inside Eurocenter Shopping Center, local 80 on the ground floor. Look for the Surf Gran Canaria / PRO SURFING COMPANY sign, surfboards, branded displays, and staff wearing Pro Surfing Company shirts.

Arrive at least 30 minutes before the activity starts. That extra time is useful for check-in, collecting your wetsuit and board, and getting ready without turning the beginning of your lesson into a race. The provided information includes a WhatsApp contact, but no number is supplied, so use the contact shown in your booking confirmation if you need to check arrival details.

If you are staying in the south area, pickup and return to your accommodation are included. That can make the morning easier, especially if you do not have a car. If you are staying elsewhere on the island, plan on reaching the school yourself and confirm the exact meeting arrangement before setting out.

Choosing a beach with beginner conditions

You do not simply arrive at one fixed beach and hope the waves cooperate. The instructor selects a spot from the main beaches based on conditions suitable for the lesson. That flexibility matters in surfing, where the quality of a beginner class depends heavily on the day’s waves and the chosen stretch of beach.

The exact beach is not named in the available details, so you should not book this expecting one particular coastal view or surf break. The advantage is that the class can be directed toward a more useful learning spot rather than tied to a single location.

For a new surfer, the best beach is not necessarily the most dramatic one. You need room for instruction, manageable waves, and a safe place to practise standing on the board. The course description focuses on finding the best conditions for development, which is the right priority for a first lesson.

Learning the basics before entering the water

The lesson includes theory and practical teaching on the beach, along with tutorials and safety videos at the school. That may sound less exciting than catching a wave, but it gives you the basic framework for making sensible choices in the water.

You can expect instruction on how to handle the board, how to position yourself, and how to work toward standing up. The supplied information does not give a precise minute-by-minute schedule, so the balance between classroom material, beach practice, and time in the water may vary with the group and conditions.

That flexibility is useful for first-timers. A good instructor needs to spend more time with someone who is struggling with balance or safety, while letting a quicker learner keep practising. The class size, capped at 10, is small enough to make individual help possible, although it is not a private lesson.

What the first water practice is like

Once the basics are covered, you take the board and wetsuit to the beach for practical work. The aim is not to turn you into an expert in one morning. It is to give you a safe first taste of surfing and help you understand the movements needed to catch and ride a small wave.

One of the strongest points from the available feedback is the teaching style. Ezekiel was singled out for clear, thorough instruction, with a strong focus on good technique and safety while still giving students plenty of practical surf time. That balance is exactly what you want at this stage.

A lesson can be frustrating if the instructor talks endlessly and leaves you standing on the beach. It can also be careless if you are sent into the water without understanding what to do. This course aims for the middle ground: enough explanation to keep you safe, followed by real attempts where you can learn through practice.

Expect some falls. Surfing looks easy from the beach, but standing on a moving board asks for balance, timing, and patience. The class is designed for beginners, so you do not need prior experience, but you do need to accept that your first successful ride may be short.

Equipment, insurance, and what you still need

The package includes a neoprene suit and surfboard, described in the materials as a surf table. It also includes full insurance, which removes two practical concerns from your planning: finding suitable equipment and arranging separate activity cover.

You should still bring what you need for a beach outing, especially food and drinks, since neither is included. The supplied details do not list any additional personal items, so check your booking information for the final packing advice.

The equipment is part of the value here. Buying or hiring a wetsuit and board separately would add cost and hassle, while beginners often do not know which board or suit is appropriate. Having the equipment ready lets you focus on the lesson rather than the gear.

There is also a 10% discount in the company store. That could be useful if you decide you want surf-related items after class, but treat it as a small extra rather than a reason to book the lesson. The main value is the instruction, equipment, safety cover, and time in the water.

A small class, but not a private lesson

The group is limited to 10 participants. That is a sensible size for an introductory class, particularly when the instructor needs to explain safety rules and watch students attempt the same basic movements.

The two-person deal does not mean you and your companion receive a private instructor. Other participants can join the class, and the group may include people moving at different speeds. If you want constant one-to-one correction, this is not the right format.

For most beginners, the small-group setup should offer a good compromise. You get the energy of learning alongside other first-timers without being placed in a large crowd. You can also share the awkward early attempts with someone you already know, which makes the inevitable tumbles less serious.

The class received an overall rating of 4.8 from 30 ratings, and the clearest praise focuses on attentive instructors, careful explanations, safety, and enjoyable practical time. Those are the qualities that matter most in a beginner surf lesson.

Language and communication

The activity information lists instruction in English and Spanish. Another part of the description also mentions Italian, so if Italian instruction is important to you, confirm this before booking rather than assuming it is guaranteed on your date.

Clear communication matters in surfing because safety directions need to be understood quickly. The course’s strongest teaching comments point to detailed explanations and instructors who paid attention to individual needs. That is helpful if you are nervous, physically cautious, or unsure about the terminology.

The provider is Pro Surfing Company S.L.U. The instructors are described as officially certified professionals with a strong personal connection to surfing. That combination should give you a class led by people who understand both the sport and the responsibility of teaching newcomers.

How the price works for two people

The listed price is $117 per group of up to two. If two people take the class, that is $58.50 per person for a four-hour activity, including the board, wetsuit, insurance, theory, beach instruction, and safety material.

That is a fair structure for a pair who plan to surf together. You avoid paying two separate full activity prices, and the shared booking makes the lesson suitable for a couple, friends, or two family members who want to try something active.

The value is weaker if only one person uses the booking, since the price is still set for a group of up to two. For one participant, compare the total cost with other beginner classes before deciding.

The price does not include food or drinks. Professional photography and video are also optional extras, so do not assume that photos of your first rides are part of the package. If you want a record of the day, ask about the added cost before the lesson begins.

Timing, cancellation, and practical planning

The main activity details give a duration of four hours, and availability determines the starting time. One longer description refers to a five-hour course, so this is worth confirming. The difference could affect transport, meals, and any other plans you make for the day.

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. The reserve-now-and-pay-later option also lets you hold a place without paying at the time of booking, which is useful when your Gran Canaria plans are still changing.

Do not stack this lesson too tightly against another booking. Surfing involves transport, changing, instruction, and time on the beach, and the exact timing may depend on the chosen beach and conditions. Give yourself room before dinner or a later appointment.

Who will get the most from this lesson

This is best for a first-time surfer or someone who has tried surfing but still needs help with the basic stance, board control, and safety. The course is also a good fit if you want a structured introduction rather than simply renting a board and trying to work things out alone.

It suits two people who want to share an active day. The discounted group price is especially appealing when both participants are committed to attending.

You may want a different option if you already surf confidently, want advanced coaching, or prefer a private lesson. The class is designed around beginners, so experienced surfers could find the pace too basic.

It may also be a poor match if you need a guaranteed named beach, fixed five-hour timing, or confirmed Italian instruction. Those details are not fully consistent in the supplied information, so ask before paying if they affect your plans.

Should you book this Gran Canaria surf class?

I would book it if you and a companion want an affordable, well-supported first attempt at surfing. The included equipment, insurance, safety training, certified instructors, and small group give you a useful foundation without requiring you to arrange the technical details yourself.

The biggest reasons to book are the careful teaching approach and the two-person value. Ezekiel’s lesson is described as clear, safety-minded, and generous with practical surf time, while other feedback also points to friendly instructors who paid close attention to individual needs.

Before committing, confirm the exact duration, meeting or pickup arrangement, and language available on your date. If those points work for you, this is a sensible way to try Gran Canaria’s waves without treating your first lesson like a do-it-yourself experiment.
