Las Palmas: Learn to Surf with a Special Price for Two Group
If you want the fun of surfing without the guessing, this Las Palmas class is a smart way to start. You get coached by certified instructors, learn on a spot chosen for good learning conditions, and you can share it with someone at a special two-person price. I like that it is built for real beginners, and I also like the focus on technique and safety, not just hoping for a lucky first stand.
One thing to keep in mind: pickup and drop-off are only in the south area, and food and drink are not included. Also, professional photo and video are optional and cost extra, so plan to skip it if you are traveling light.
Key Highlights You Should Care About

- Special price for two: the deal is priced for a group up to 2 people, perfect for a partner or friend
- Certified instructors with safety-first teaching: you get clear, practical instruction plus safety videos and tutorials
- A surf spot picked for learning conditions: you are not left to random waves, the course spot is selected for the class
- All gear supplied: neoprene suit and surfboard included, so you can travel without bulky extras
- Small group size: limited to 10 participants, which helps you get more time and attention
- Store discount and optional media: you get a 10% store discount, and photos or video are optional for an additional fee
Surfing in Las Palmas, Built for Beginners and Shared Fun

This is the kind of surf class that works because it stays practical. You show up, get geared up, watch safety material, then spend your time learning on the beach instead of standing around. The “learn with a plus one” idea is especially good in Las Palmas, where a shared activity can feel way more motivating than solo lessons.
What makes it work best is the coaching style. The course is clearly aimed at beginners and people still new to surfing, and the instructors put emphasis on technique and safety while still keeping the mood fun. You are not expected to be a natural, you are expected to learn step by step.

Where You Meet Your Surf School (and How Not to Waste Time)

You will meet at the PRO SURFING COMPANY school inside the Eurocenter Shopping Center. Look for the shop labeled Surf Gran Canaria / PRO SURFING COMPANY, local 80, ground floor. The team is easy to spot, with surfboards, branded signage, and staff wearing Pro Surfing t-shirts.
Here is my simple advice: arrive at least 30 minutes early. That buffer helps you check in, get your wetsuit and surfboard, and settle before anyone is counting the clock.
The 4-Hour Flow, From Safety Videos to Practical Beach Time

The class is designed to move in the right order. First you get the theory side, with tutorials and safety videos shown at the school. This part matters because surfing injuries are usually avoidable, and the instructors use the time to set you up with basic rules and beach habits.
Then you move onto the beach for both theoretical and practical lessons. Expect step-by-step guidance as conditions change and as you get more comfortable with the equipment. The goal is to give you enough real wave time to feel progress, not just a demo from the shore.
One detail I appreciate is that the plan includes full instruction plus guidance in your chosen language. Sessions are listed in English and Spanish, and Italian is also mentioned as part of the language options.
Learning the Right Way: Technique, Safety, and First-Wave Confidence

I like surf lessons that teach you how to move, not just where to stand. This one is structured around technique and safety, with instructors who are genuinely into surfing and clear in their explanations. In a previous session, an instructor named Ezekiel was described as thorough and clear, with a strong emphasis on good technique and safety, while still leaving plenty of time for actual surfing.
That balance is what you want as a beginner. If you only get safety rules, you never get comfortable. If you only get wave time, you pick up bad habits and get frustrated fast. Here, you get both, and the pacing is aimed at keeping you learning while staying excited.

Choosing the Best Conditions on the Main Beaches

A big part of learning to surf is not just skill, it is conditions. This class includes a surf spot selected for having the best conditions for developing the course. You also get the idea that the learning happens on the island’s main beaches, which usually means practical access and familiar surf setups rather than a random location that is hard to read.
In plain terms, good conditions reduce the time you spend getting stuck or repeatedly caught in the wrong place. And when you get more successful attempts, you learn faster and you enjoy the day more.
Small Group Coaching, With You Getting More Reps
This is a small-group experience, limited to 10 participants. That matters because beginner surfing is hands-on and chaotic if you have too many people trying at once. With a smaller group, instructors can give quick corrections and check that you are safe before you head into the water.
Also, your class format is designed for you plus one other person. That is a real advantage if you are nervous or just unsure what to do first. You can encourage each other between attempts, and you also get a more shared, relaxed feel than the “everyone for themselves” vibe that sometimes happens on bigger lessons.
What’s Included So You Don’t Have to Pack Like a Surfer

The list of inclusions is refreshingly straightforward. You get a neoprene suit and a surfboard, so you do not need to bring your own gear. There is also a surf table provided, plus officially certified instructors and full insurance.
You also get:
- Tutorials and safety videos at school
- Theoretical and practical instruction on the beach
- A 10% discount in the store
This setup is good value because it removes the two biggest start-up obstacles for beginners: equipment and safety coaching. You can focus on learning, not on figuring out which fin setup or wetsuit thickness you need.
Price and Value: $117 for Up to Two People

At $117 per group for up to 2 people, the price makes the most sense when you actually bring a second person. If you go as a couple or a friend pair, you effectively split the lesson cost and make it feel more like a shared day out than a solo activity that is hard to justify.
It also helps that the price comes with more than a quick instruction moment. You get a structured class with safety content, practical beach time, instructors, equipment, and insurance. That is what you want from a beginner lesson, because the quality is in the basics, not in fancy marketing.
If you are traveling solo, you can still find value, but this deal is clearly aimed at two-person bookings. So I would treat it as a partner-friendly option first, solo-friendly second.
Languages in the Water: English, Spanish, and Italian Options

Language comfort is not a small thing when you are learning an action sport. You are dealing with directions you need in the moment, plus safety instructions you must understand clearly.
This course offers English and Spanish, and Italian is also listed among the language options. If you care about learning in a specific language, double-check which languages are available for your session before you arrive.
What This Surf Class Is Best For
This experience is ideal if:
- You are a beginner or still new to surfing
- You want hands-on coaching with technique and safety emphasized
- You like learning with a companion, not in a crowd
- You prefer a smaller group setting (limited to 10)
It can also be a good fit if you like clear instruction and a calm progression. One of the best signs from the feedback is the repeated mention of instructors being detailed, careful, and easy to talk to, which matters a lot when you are trying something new.
If you are already an advanced surfer, you might find the lesson too basic, since the class is specifically framed for beginners and early learners.
Should You Book This Surf Lesson in Las Palmas?
I would book it if you want an organized start to surfing with certified coaching, gear included, and a deal that makes sense for two people. The combination of technique-focused instruction, safety coaching, and real time on the water is what turns a first surf day from awkward into memorable.
Pass on it only if pickup timing in the south area is a dealbreaker for you, or if you need food included (food and drink are not included). If you are ready to dress for seaworthy fun and you want to learn the basics the right way, this is a strong choice.
