Surf Classes in Gran Canaria with Buen Surf School

🏄 Buen Surf School has been offering surf lessons in Las Palmas since 2016, just a minute from La Cicer beach, and they’ve got a deal for you: a 20% discount on everything. That includes lessons and gear rentals.

Lessons last 2 hours, with certified instructors and a maximum of 6 people per group, so you’ll get personal attention, not just some big group. They have beginner and intermediate level groups, plus private lessons if you want to go at your own pace. The public rate is €40 for a group lesson and €75 for a private session: you pay 20% less.

You get board, wetsuit, and rash guard included, and the school has changing rooms, private lockers, and hot showers, which are super nice after being in the water.

Just want the gear? That’s included in the discount too. Rentals start at €20 for the wetsuit and €25 for the soft top board, up to €35 for the longboard, and they’ll hold a €300 deposit at reception while you have it.

⚠️ Important: mention you’re staying at Nest Hostels when you book. That’s the only way to get the 20% off. Shoot Javier a message on WhatsApp and let him know which hostel you’re coming from. 🤙

How long is a class and how many people are there?

Classes last two hours, with a maximum of 6 people per class, taught by certified instructors. The public rate is €40 for group classes and €75 for private ones, and you get a 20% discount on that.

What’s included in the class?

You'll get a surfboard, wetsuit, and rash guard. At the school, you’ll also find changing rooms, a private locker, and a shower.

How much does it cost to rent equipment on my own?

Public rates per day are about €25 for a soft board, €30 for a hard board, €35 for a longboard, and €20 for a wetsuit, with half days and extra days available at lower rates. Your 20% discount applies here too. They’ll hold a €300 deposit at reception while you have the gear.
