Las Palmas: Learn to Surf with a Special Price for Two Group

Gran Canaria’s surf lesson for two is a good way to try a new sport without having to buy or bring any gear. For $117, two people can share a beginner class led by a certified instructor, with the beach selected for the day’s conditions.

I like two things in particular: the lesson gives you both safety and technique instruction, not just a board and a wave, and the special price is for the pair rather than each person. One consideration: the advertised duration is four hours in the activity details, while another description calls it five, so confirm the schedule when you book.

Key points to know before you book

• The $117 price covers up to two people, making this most appealing if you book with a partner or friend.
• The class is built for beginners, with safety videos, beach theory, and practical instruction before you head into the water.
• The surf location is chosen for the conditions, rather than fixed to one beach in advance.
• You get a wetsuit, surfboard, and full insurance, so you can arrive without buying equipment.
• South-area accommodation pickup and drop-off are included, but the meeting point is the surf school at Eurocenter Shopping Center.
• The group can include up to 10 participants, so it is a small group, though not necessarily a private lesson.

A first surf lesson, with the practical bits included

If you are new to surfing, the hardest part is often not standing up. It is knowing what to do safely, understanding the instructor’s directions, and getting enough practice to make the lesson worthwhile. This class is designed to cover those basics in a single session, with theory and practical work on the beach before you try the waves.

The school supplies a neoprene wetsuit and surfboard, and the price includes full insurance. Those inclusions matter for a first lesson: you can focus on learning rather than sorting out unfamiliar gear or wondering what you need to rent. There is also a 10% discount in the school’s store, useful if you decide you want to buy something after class, though there is no need to arrive with a shopping list.

Instruction is available in English and Spanish. The activity information also mentions Italian in its longer description, so if Italian is important to you, check that it is available for your date before booking. Languages are more than a convenience here. When you are learning unfamiliar movements and safety instructions, clear explanations make it easier to follow along and ask questions.

The group is limited to 10 people. That keeps the class relatively small, but the price description is important: $117 is for a group of up to two people, not an individual rate. You may share the broader lesson with other participants, so do not book expecting a private instructor just for you and your companion.

Starting at the Pro Surfing Company school

The stated meeting point is Pro Surfing Company S.L.U at Eurocenter Shopping Center, local 80, on the ground floor. Look for the Surf Gran Canaria / PRO SURFING COMPANY sign and surfboards by the entrance. The school recommends arriving at least 30 minutes before the activity starts.

That extra time is practical, not ceremonial. You need to check in, get your wetsuit and surfboard, and be ready to leave on time. If you cut it close, you may start the lesson feeling rushed before you have even reached the beach. The school also provides pickup and drop-off from accommodation in the south area, so check whether your lodging qualifies and confirm the arrangement before the activity.

The meeting point and the beach are not necessarily the same place. The instructor chooses a surf spot based on the conditions and what suits the course. That flexibility is a plus for a beginner class: the best teaching beach depends on the day, not on a fixed promise to visit one named stretch of coast. The trade-off is that you should not book this expecting a particular beach or a sightseeing tour of several beaches.

Safety and technique before the waves

The class begins with tutorial and safety videos at the school, followed by theoretical and practical instruction on the beach. That order is sensible. You get a chance to learn what to do before you are balancing on a board, where listening while managing the water can be harder.

For a newcomer, good instruction should make the basic sequence clear: what the instructor wants you to practise, how to follow directions, and how to approach the water safely. The supplied details do not specify a precise skills syllabus, so expect the instructor to shape the practical work around the group and the conditions rather than assume a fixed set of surfing milestones.

The strongest praise associated with this experience is for the quality of the teaching. Instructor Ezekiel has been singled out for clear, thorough explanations, attention to safety, and a useful balance between technique and time spent surfing. He may not be your instructor on the day, but that description gives you a helpful sense of what to value: careful coaching that still leaves room for plenty of practical attempts.

Other feedback also points to instructors who are friendly, attentive, and detailed in their explanations. That matters especially when you are learning alongside another person. You can encourage each other, but you will still benefit from an instructor who notices individual needs rather than treating the whole group as one beginner-shaped unit.

Choosing a beach for the day

The instructor selects the location for the best conditions for the course. The activity promotes access to the best waves on the island’s main beaches, but it does not name a guaranteed beach or promise that you will visit more than one. Think of this as a lesson with a flexible surf spot, not a beach-hopping outing.

That flexibility can work in your favor. Beginners need conditions suited to learning, and the stated aim is to pick a place that supports the lesson. You are not paying for a particular view or famous surf break; you are paying for instruction at a spot chosen to help the course run well.

The limitation is that you cannot plan the day around a specific beach. If your main goal is to surf at one named location, or to get a scenic coastal excursion, this may not be the right fit. If your priority is learning the basics in suitable conditions, letting the instructor choose the spot makes more sense.

Getting your first practice in

After the safety and beach instruction, the session moves into practical surfing. The aim is to put the teaching to use, with the instructor guiding you through the process and helping you work on technique. The activity is intended for beginners and people still new to the sport, so you do not need prior surfing experience to take part.

Four hours is a substantial block for a first lesson, giving the session room for preparation, instruction, and practice. Still, the supplied information is inconsistent: the main activity details state four hours, while the longer description refers to a five-hour course. Confirm the expected start and finish times when you check availability. That is particularly useful if you have another booking later in the day.

Do not measure success only by whether you stand up on your first try. Surfing is a physical skill, and the experience is framed as a lesson, not a guaranteed performance. You are there to learn technique, listen to safety guidance, and get practical time with an instructor. The class can be a good introduction even if your first session feels more like practice than mastery.

What the price includes, and what it does not

At $117 for up to two people, the experience offers a clear value for a pair who want to try surfing together. Split between two, that is $58.50 per person, with the surfboard, wetsuit, certified instruction, insurance, safety videos, and beach-based theory and practice included. The south-area pickup and drop-off add further convenience if you are staying within the service area.

The deal is less compelling if you are travelling alone, since the advertised rate is for a group of up to two rather than a stated single-person price. Check the booking options before assuming you can reserve at half the group rate. Also remember that the class may include other participants, up to a total of 10.

Food and drink are not included. Plan accordingly, especially if you expect to be hungry after several hours of activity. Professional photography and video are available as an optional extra for an additional fee, so treat them as a possible add-on rather than part of the package.

Who will get the most from this lesson

This class suits two friends, partners, or family members who want a shared first try at surfing and are happy learning in a small group. It is especially practical if you are staying in the south of Gran Canaria, where pickup and drop-off at your accommodation are included. If you are staying elsewhere, the school’s Eurocenter meeting point gives you a clear place to start, but you will need to check your own transport plans.

It is also a sensible choice if you want a structured introduction rather than an informal attempt on a rented board. Safety videos, theory, beach instruction, certified instructors, and insurance all give the session a more complete shape. You are not simply paying for equipment access; you are paying to learn how to approach the sport.

Consider another option if you want a private lesson, a guaranteed instructor by name, a specific beach, or a longer course with a confirmed five-hour schedule. None of those details is promised here. The class is best approached as a beginner group lesson with a flexible beach location and a useful set of inclusions.

Booking and small practical details

You can reserve now and pay later, which helps if your plans are not fully settled. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Check the available start times for your date, then confirm the duration, particularly because the activity details give both four- and five-hour descriptions.

Arrive 30 minutes early at the school unless you have confirmed a different pickup arrangement. Bring food and drink if you will want them, since neither is included. If you are interested in the optional photography or video, ask about the additional cost before deciding.

The class is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 30 ratings. More useful than the number alone is the consistent emphasis on clear instruction, care for individual needs, and a balance between learning technique and getting practical time. For a first surf lesson, those are exactly the details I would want to know.

Should you book this surf lesson?

Book it if you and a companion want a beginner-friendly introduction with equipment, insurance, safety preparation, and a certified instructor included in the price. The $117 group rate is straightforward value for two, especially if you can use the south-area pickup and would rather have the instructor choose a suitable beach.

Pause if you need a private lesson, a fixed beach, or a precisely confirmed five-hour session. Check the language you need, the pickup area, and the schedule before paying. If those details line up, this is a practical way to spend part of a Gran Canaria day learning a sport together, with the emphasis where it should be: clear guidance, safe practice, and time on the board.
