Best day ever - This was by far my favorite thing I did on my trip to Lanzarote. The instructors (shout out humberto) were all SO kind and made it such a welcoming environment— even to me, who had never touched a surfboard in her life. Would love to come back!!

A lot of fun! Definitely worth trying! - We took 4 half days and 1 full day of beginners lessons with Red Star Surf and we enjoyed them a lot! The crew is great, very helpful and friendly. We were given all necessary surfing stuff in the "base camp" and coaches took us to the beach by van. They divided us into smaller groups based on our experience and they worked with us individually as well. Full days includes also video analysis that helps to understand our mistakes.
Perfect start for our future surf career :D Definitely worth trying! Ask for Mariano!

Best surf school - This was by far the best experience we've had with surf lessons. The instructors are all very friendly, dedicated and professional. The lessons are well organized and include a video analysis and individual feedback after surfing, which is very useful.
Thank you Red Star for an amazing experience :)
