So let’s get started, if you’ve never tried surfing your first wave yet, here are some tips to help you gain confidence in the ocean. In a few days, you will be ready to surf your first wave.

What type of surd board should I use to start?

The first thing you will have to decide is which board to choose if you are starting to do surfing. You have to take into account basic aspects such as its length, width and what material it is made of.

If you are a beginner you should start with a soft polyurethane surfboard (better known as: soft board). This will be for your safety and that of those around you. Also, a board like this will be easier to handle, as it is larger it will give you greater stability and its soft material will prevent you from hitting yourself if you fall or a wave gives you a somersault.

Your first attempts will let you know if this sport is for you. You may not know it the first day you try it, but surely you will find your passion little by little. This is why you have to be patient, firm and always be motivated.

After several attempts your efforts will pay off and you will have your reward, you will ride your first wave, and you will feel the power of surfing. You will surely achieve it, it only requires dedication and patience.

I recommend you always have the accompaniment of a professional, so your practice will be safe and you will be able to discover the true essence of surfing.

In what beaches can I do surfing in Lanzarote?

Without a doubt, Lanzarote, like a large part of the Canary Islands, has ideal places to do all kinds of water sports, especially surfing. But, on the island the best known and most suitable beach for both beginners and experts is Famara.

Famara beach is the place to surf par excellence, here there are waves throughout the year. Whether you are a surfing expert or you are just starting now, here you can find all kinds of waves. Near the shore you will be able to start your lessons in complete safety, as the beach stretches 4 kilometers and has no stones; If you are an expert, you will find large waves a few meters from the shore.
