Beginner Surf Course

Beginner Surf Course

Do you want to learn how to surf? Or do you want to taste a new experience?

Come and join our beginners lesson!

In the beginning of our taster/ beginner lessons we will teach you basic but important aspects concerning waves, surfer gear and security. You will learn how to manage the ocean, control your surfboard and glide into your first waves. On a sand bank near the beach in hip-deep water and gentle whitewater or foam waves, you will practise to paddle and try to catch them.

After the first successful wave gliding exercises, our surf instructors will show you how to stand up on your surfboard easily. After a short period of time, you will surf your first waves, get addicted by it and spread the aloha spirit.

GNR Surf Coaching & Trainings Fuerteventura

GNR Surf Coaching & Trainings

Your surfing. Dialed in

For intermediate and advanced surfers who've outgrown "a lesson" and are ready for coaching built around their own level.

After years of running group lessons, we've learned one thing for sure: past a certain level, no two surfers are working on the same thing. One person is still fighting their bottom turn, the next wants to clean up their cutbacks. That's why, from intermediate level up, our head coach Gilles Noah Rese takes over personally — either one-on-one or in a small group of no more than 4.

Gilles Noah Rese competed on the WSL Qualifying Series and was part of the German national team. That background shows up directly in his coaching — not a generic program, but a trained eye for exactly the details that will move your surfing forward.

Who it's for

  • Intermediate surfers ready to move past the basics
  • Advanced surfers wanting to nail down specific maneuvers
  • Anyone who wants real, individual feedback instead of a one-size-fits-all class

 

 

What to expect

  • 1:1 coaching or small groups (max. 4 people, matched by level)
  • Built around where you actually are, not a fixed course plan
  • Direct, in-the-water feedback
  • Video analysis, a training plan

 

Why 1:1 instead of a group lesson Group lessons work great for beginners because everyone's starting from the same place. Past intermediate level, that's just not true anymore — so with Gilles, you're not getting a group program with compromises, you're getting coaching built around you.

Surf Lessons in Fuerteventura, Timed to the Conditions

 

Every surf lesson at our surf school in Costa Calma, Fuerteventura is scheduled around the day's wind, wave and tide forecast — not a fixed clock. Depending on your skill level and what you want to work on, we pick the surf spot and start time that actually suits you best that day.

We meet either at our surf centre next to the surf camp, or we pick you up directly from your accommodation with our surf shuttle service and drive you to the best surf spot of the day. After a warm-up and a short theory session on the beach, you'll head into the water to surf and train — with step-by-step guidance throughout your 2,5 to 3 hour surf lesson. Between water sessions, relax on the beach, connect with other surfers, or just enjoy watching the waves.
