Great experience. The instructor called Nestor was really nice and tried its best to show me and my daughter how to do a proper surfing. We enjoyed it very much and I want to highly recommend this school for surfing. Will definitely take extra lessons when I get back to Grand Canaria

I had a great experience learning to surf with Lorca; I went from not knowing anything at all, to riding the waves within 2hours! Highly recommended.The staff are all very friendly & accomodating; they also send complementary photos of you surfing.Lorca gave great instructions, was very observant & gave good feedback to help me improve & figure out how to read the waves & to better balance.

Very nice two day course (book two single days) as a first time surfer. On day one I was already standing and riding (little) waves. Good communications, punctual and good instructions. Very special thank you to Nestor 🤙🏼

We had a great experience! Signed up our 14 year old for 3 days of windsurfing, but after one day he wanted to do [wave] surfing instead. Everyone was very accommodating and just switched him to surfing without further payments. He had a great time surfing with Floro, but all other people at this school are really nice and fun as well. Also, they make videos of everyone surfing and analyze the videos together afterward, which is very helpful in getting better. Strongly recommend!

I booked my 1 day lesson in the Shop, paying by debit/ or credit card and cash of course is possible.As the Conditions in the usual Spot where not good i got a message the day before that the course will happen right outside the Shop. The teacher managed to get me on that Board, at least a few Times which i did not really expect before starting. All in all a great expierence and totally recommended.

I spent two days doing some windsurfing with Pedro, Carlos, and Roberto at Dunkerbeck School, near St Agustine. The gear was great, the experience was great, they had everything. I just showed up and enjoyed! They even picked me up from my hotel, so I did not need to rent a car. As a 30+ year windsurfer I can state they are trustworthy, professional, skilled, and have a full range of equipment from beginner to advanced. I will go again and look forward to learning a few more tricks from Roberto, maybe improve my waterstarts. P.S. Make sure you bring a few extra Euros for the awesome hats. Can't go home without one.

Great school for surfing. Me and my friend had an amazing coach (Flo), who was very kind and patient with us since we were beginners. 10/10 I strongly recommend!

The best choice in Gran Canaria. The team is just awesome! Carlos: super friendly, a great businessman and a great motivator both in and out the water. Anet: super sweet, kind and patient. Without her, the first lesson would have been drama! Floro: profetional, precise and the best instructor in the island.Thanks to them we have discoverd a new passion and they have positively contribuited to the time we spent there during our holiday. Thank you awfully! Marco & Monica 🙂

The best surf School in Gran Canaria in my opinion for both beginner and intermediate surfers. Floro is one of the best surf teachers I have had and helps you develop your surfing technique as an intermediate surfer. He wants you to improve and puts a lot of effort into you learning and getting better. He teaches local teams as well and is a great surfer. Carlos is super kind and helpful with the practical things and easy to get in contact with. The boards are of good quality.Overall I’m very satisfied and I think the prices are really fair. I can warmly recommend after surfing with this company for 5 weeks 👍🏼

I have not visited the Sessions, but I would like to thank Carlos: when my two year old baby kissed the steps in front of the surf school he reacted immediately and ran towards the first aid. He stayed there until the ambulance came and was of great support. When he saw us the next day he was happy to see that she is ok 👌. Thanks again! 🙂

Excellent experience, both of the coaches got two first timers myself and my sister basically surfing within an hour or so. If your new or fairly experienced it is well worth a try! Muchas Gracias 🙂

I took a 1-day group surf class but I was the only one who enrolled this day, so I had a private lesson with two great teachers Patricia and Flo. I liked their attitude, I felt very safe and taken-care-of all the time and made a nice progress.

The first day Flo (Florence) gave me a lesson, he took the time and his English is really good. He did a good warming up, he did this on a fun way!Day two Patricia was my teacher, unfortunately the waves weren’t that perfect in comparing to day one. She’s still learning I noticed, but that’s ok - Flo gave me a lot to work on and he was there to support.Tomorrow is my last day, Flo is taking me to the spot where we can surf the high waves. I’m looking forward to it, he’s a great teacher and a cool person!I’ve learned a lot these lessons, in comparing to my previous surfing lessons. I was able to ride the waves on day one, so there was much progress.I would recommand this surf school to everyone!

If you think to start your surfing experience with this school or not!?? - Don’t even think! It will be your best choice. My daughter is lazy, but talented and Bjorn, Carlos, Anna and Floro have taken the best out of her and all I can say is that they are the best.

This surfschool is top of the bill! Good (choice of) material, good choice of location so that we had perfect waves to learn surfing, good explanation and feedback, enthousiastic teacher. Absolutely the place to be if you want to learn or improve your surfingskills! We’ll be back!

This was the first time I tried surfing and it is certainly a great place to get going. The instructor was great, knowledgeable and knew how to motivate. Just like with many things, it takes two to come up with something great. I would certainly recommend it, good value for money and great place to start and there is a very safe spot on the beach where the waves are not too strong. Thanks Flo for your help.

Very nice experience! They pick we up at our hotel and then we went to the best possible spot in the zone taking into the proper conditions for surfing that day. The instructor, who has lot of experience in the profesional world of this sport, was amazing and very implicated, always helping us to do it as good as possible. In summary, if you visit Maspalomas area, practising surf with SURFBD is a must!

My kids love it!Our boys 10 and 14 years went on a summer 2 week summer course in July 2016. And they loved it. The oldest boy has had such a great time, that nowadays surfing has become his favourite past-time. The teachers are very skilled, friendly and professional. The school has a great selection of equipment for all ages and sizes. And if there are no waves on one spot they take you do a different spot, where there is better surf. We can only recommend it.
