If you’re reading this, it’s because you’re looking for more than just a surf lesson.

You want real progression, a genuine connection with the ocean, and an experience in Lanzarote you’ll remember for years.

Here’s the truth: choosing the right surf school makes all the difference in how fast (and how well) you progress.

In this article, we share the 5 essential keys to choosing the best surf school in Gran Canaria — and why so many surfers end up choosing SOUTHCOAST Surf School.

1 | The Perfect Location: Train in the Ideal Environment

Where you learn to surf matters just as much as who teaches you.

Our home base is Playa de Maspalomas, a beach known for:

  • Safe sandy bottoms
  • Consistent waves year-round
  • A natural landscape that will leave you speechless

2 | Real Experienced Instructors (Who Love to Teach)

Surfing well is one thing, Teaching surf well is another.
At SOUTHCOAST, we take your progression personally. Our instructors are not only experienced surfers — they’re patient, motivating, and genuinely passionate about helping you progress.

Every surfer has their own rhythm, and at SOUTHCOAST we respect that.
