I had a surfing lesson in early July and the team at Surf Canaries were great! There was a good balance between some theory and then time to put it into practice in the sea, where the instructors were super enthusiastic 🤟 The photos were really well taken and freely available a few weeks after, which was a nice touch. I'd definitely go back if I'm ever in Maspalomas again

I have just returned from an amazing experience and I can't help but praise their team for their professionalism, safety measures, and the fun they provided during the surf lessons.Right from the start, I was able to appreciate their expertise in the field. The team of instructors consists of true surfing enthusiasts who transmit their experience and knowledge with enthusiasm. Each lesson was planned and structured impeccably, allowing us to learn the basic and advanced techniques of this fascinating sport step by step.Safety was an absolute priority for the surf school. Before entering the water, we received a detailed lesson on safety measures, including danger signals and rescue techniques. The instructors were always present and attentive, constantly monitoring the ocean conditions and ensuring that all students felt safe at all times.One thing I really appreciated was the patience of the instructor team. They understand that everyone has their own learning pace and were willing to answer all our questions and provide personalized feedback to improve our skills. They created a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable progressing on their learning journey.But don't think that the lessons were all about hard work! The surf school made every moment enjoyable and exciting. The instructors managed to convey their passion for surfing in a contagious way, creating an atmosphere of enthusiasm and fun. Every lesson was an opportunity to challenge ourselves, overcome our fears, and fully enjoy the thrill of riding the waves.In conclusion, my experience was simply outstanding. The instructor team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and dedication, ensuring a high-quality surf lesson in a safe and enjoyable environment. I highly recommend this surf school to anyone looking to learn or improve their surfing skills because you won't find a better place to do it!

Really nice activity to do! You will not regret it and it is a lot of fun. Kids and adults alike. The instructors are very friendly and helpfull. The have good materials and you get free bottle of water and fruit to eat in between the surfing. I came back a day later and rented a board to practice a bit more on my own. In the end we kinda met up and they kept an eye me, so that was really cool and friendly.

We called Danny on Tuesday and were able to join the beginners course directly on Wednesday. We had never had anything to do with surfing before but with the good preparation and help from the friendly Team we ended up standing on our boards and it was really fun! Also the price is absolutely fair. If we can, we will be happy to come back and continue practicing. Thank you very much!

All of the workers were really nice and friendly!The location of the shop is perfect, because you can rent the board and wetsuit and just walk to the beach i 5min. There is no need for a car, which was perfect for us because we didn't have a car.We also went to one lesson, which included both good theory but also a lot of time to practice in the water. The pictures that were included in the price of the lesson were really good!We recommend Surf Canaries to everybody!!
