We will get you far away from mass tourism into a small quiet fishing village Famara Beach on the north coast of Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain). You will be surrounded by waves, mountains and pristine landscapes. The whole north of Lanzarote is a nature reserve protected by UNESCO. Lanzarote and the neighboring islands are provided with waves from all directions because of the volcanic formation and the favorable geographical location. This allows the best surfing and kiting in all weather conditions, with abundance of swell and surf spots that work in all different wind and swell directions. Therefore, the Canary Islands also known as the Hawaii of Europe. Truely a surfer's paradise!

We offer INDIVIDUAL and GROUP SURFING LESSONS with up to 8 students per instructor/lifeguard. Our attitude to surfing makes possible, that we always find the appropriate approach to each student – you will love surfing! Surfing is not just a sport, it is a culture.

If you have never tried surfing before it’s never too late, and here at Red Star Surf we cater for everyone at all levels to help you realize your surfing potential. In a safe environment, with the right equipment we help you step by step to achieve the surfing goals set. This is exactly what our teaching methodology is based on, the successful and globally recognized educational approach of the British Surfing Association (BSA). Our experienced instructors are trained and certified by the BSA. They are also lifeguards trained and certified by the Surfing Life Saving Association (SLSA).
Children over 6 years of age, who can already swim can take part in the surf lessons. Experience has taught us that pure children groups are not very effective. Children and adults benefit in many ways from each other and can learn together better and faster. Without any stress or pressure the kids are introduced to their first steps in the water. The surfing students get used to the ocean and the waves, then they learn to glide on the water and then comes the surfing. Classes are always held in a secure waist depth where you stand and always are close to the instructor. The class usually lasts for 4-5 hours which includes lunch and a short break. We also offer private coaching for all levels. Famara beach is one of the best places in Europe to learn to surf with great waves, nice weather most of the year and the experienced Red Star Surf team to guide you all the way.
For advanced surfers who want to rock Europes finest reef breaks we also offer a SURFARI to the best spots of Lanzarote and the neighbouring islands. Lanzarote has a very high surf spot density, within 10 min up to max. half an hour drive you can reach over 50 surf spots for all swell and wind directions. May and June are the wave poorest months, but we still have great surf a few days a week.
We will introduce you to the best waves Lanzarote has to offer during the time you are here. Some spots are hard to find, to surf or even just entering and exiting the water can be quite a challenge at some spots. Especially during a large swell, which is quite often here on Lanzarote. Our experienced surf guides/instructors will walk you through everything you need to know to get the most out of your surf trip, so take the surfari option and come catch some perfect waves with us!
Furthermore we offer relaxing yoga classes to compliment the physically demanding water sports like surfing, SUP, kiting or windsurfing. Yoga also prevents stiff muscles and accelerates the regeneration process.
