What we will do
We will meet 15 minutes before the booking time at the meeting point in Playa de las Américas, in the south of Tenerife. We will be met by the instructor who will accompany us on this adventure.
We will have a free moment to get ready in the changing room before going into a theoretical introduction of about 30 minutes that will take place on the terrace of the school. We will analyse the characteristics of the coast and learn how to interpret the currents before going down to the beach.
Once on the sand, we will continue with a warm-up session that will prepare us to practice the fundamental techniques on the sand: the rhythm of a fluid paddle, the 4 key steps of a perfect pop-up and the secrets to chain the movements and stand up on the board.
As you gain confidence, we can't wait to get in the water! The instructor will be with us at all times, keeping a close eye on us and guiding us as we ride our first waves.
We will return to the sand exhausted, but exhilarated. A short stretching session will help us recover before returning to the school for a refreshing shower. If we still have enough energy left, we can enjoy an extra hour of equipment hire to continue surfing on our own.
The activity will last approximately 2 and a half hours (not counting the extra hour of rental) , of which 2 hours will be class time.
