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

Surf lessons in Las Palmas feel genuinely manageable. This class pairs certified instructors with all the key gear, so you spend your time learning, not hunting rentals. I especially like the small-group feel and the way the coaching focuses on both technique and safety. One thing to plan for, food and drink are not included.

What makes this deal interesting is that it is built for beginners, and it is priced for a group of up to two people. You’ll start at the Pro Surfing Company school inside Eurocenter, check in for wetsuit and board, then head to a nearby spot chosen for good conditions.

Key Takeaways Before You Go

• Certified professionals guiding every step, not just stand around and watch
• All equipment included, including the neoprene suit and surfboard
• Small group (up to 10), so you can actually get corrections
• Theory plus beach practice, including safety videos and coaching on technique
• Two-person special price, built for couples and friends

Entering Eurocenter, Then Trading Shoes for Wetsuit

Your half-day starts in a very practical place: the Pro Surfing Company school inside Eurocenter Shopping Center, local 80, ground floor. The front door is labeled Surf Gran Canaria / PRO SURFING COMPANY, and you’ll spot staff in Pro Surfing t-shirts with surfboards and branded signage.

This part matters more than it sounds. Arriving early lets you get the wetsuit on without rushing and listen to any short safety setup before you hit the beach. I’d plan on getting there about 30 minutes before start time so you can check in, get geared up, and still feel relaxed when the group assembles.

Also note the pickup detail: drop-off and pick-up are offered only in the south area of Las Palmas. If you’re staying north or out of that zone, you’ll likely need your own way to reach the meeting point in Eurocenter.

Price and What You’re Actually Getting for $117

The headline is a special price of $117 per group for up to two people. That’s the value story: you’re not just paying for a basic lesson, you’re paying for the full beginner setup.

Here is what the class includes that normally costs extra elsewhere:

• Neoprene suit (you do not need to rent one)
• Surfboard
• Certified instructors
• Full insurance
• Safety videos and tutorial time at the school
• Theoretical and practical lessons on the beach
• A 10% discount in the store

On a cost-per-use basis, the included gear and instruction time usually make this feel fair for first-timers. And the “up to two” format is handy if you want your learning buddy next to you, instead of getting separated in a larger group.

One consideration: it is called a group class, but it is small by design, limited to 10 participants. If you’re coming alone and hoping for lots of individual attention every single minute, you still get more than a huge class, but surfing is not one-on-one coaching.

The Surf Spot Selection, and Why Beginners Benefit

You’re not just sent to any beach. You’ll surf at a spot selected for having the best conditions for developing the course.

For beginners, that choice matters because your first job is to:

1. Feel stable on the board
2. Understand where the waves push you
3. Practice safe timing and positioning

If conditions are too intense, you spend your energy fighting water instead of building the right habits. If conditions are too calm, you may not get enough real wave experience. A good beginner site hits a sweet spot, so your lesson stays practical and you can progress within a single session.

What Happens Before You Paddle: Videos, Theory, and Safety

The lesson does not start with you sprinting into the ocean. At the school, there is a screening of tutorials and safety videos. Then you move into theoretical and practical lessons directly on the beach.

This is a big deal for first-timers. Surfing has a learning curve, but safety has an even steeper one. With a clear structure that begins with safety instruction, you know what to do before you’re balancing on a board.

From the way instructors are described, the coaching style is not just technical, it is calm and patient. People highlight that the instructors are careful with everyone’s needs and give detailed instruction without talking down. If you’re the type who feels overwhelmed easily, that style usually helps you relax and focus.

The Actual Surfing Time: Technique Corrections You Can Use

Once you hit the beach instruction, expect a format that mixes guidance with hands-on time. The focus is on learning technique and safety while still getting plenty of time to surf, not just stand around.

One instructor name that comes up is Ezekiel. The standout theme is that he is thorough and clear, with a strong emphasis on good technique and safety, while still balancing it with real time on the waves. That balance is what you want as a beginner. You want coaching that tells you what to fix, and you want enough repetitions that you can actually try the fix immediately.

In practical terms, the lesson should help you with the basics that control everything:

• How to read your place relative to incoming sets
• How to move on the board efficiently
• How to manage safety decisions before trying anything ambitious

And because the group is small, you should get more direct correction than you’d in a larger class. Limited to 10 participants, the instructor can notice who is struggling and adjust their approach.

Two People, One Lesson: The Plus-One Advantage

This is a beginner-friendly class with a discounted rate for two, designed so you can share the experience with someone else in the group.

You’ll feel it in the energy. Learning a new sport is easier when you can:

• compare notes after each run
• encourage each other during resets
• practice confidence, since you are not the only one still figuring things out

It also helps you avoid that common problem where you get separated from your friend and end up trying to coordinate schedules later.

One consideration: if both of you are complete beginners, you might not progress at the same pace. That is normal. The good news is that instruction includes attention to individual needs, and the coaching style is described as careful and detailed. You should not feel ignored, but you might feel challenged in a fun way if you are new to balancing on waves.

Gear Included, So Your Only Job Is to Show Up

Everything you need to start is supplied, including:

• Neoprene suit
• Surfboard

That removes two friction points:

1. Figuring out rentals
2. Losing time on gear logistics

In a place like Gran Canaria, that matters because the day can move fast once you’re on the coast. If you show up prepared, the lesson is mostly about learning, not logistics.

What you’ll still want to think about is comfort. Neoprene suits can feel tight at first. Bring a mindset that you’ll adjust quickly. Wear practical swimwear underneath and keep your change area simple. If you have any skin sensitivity, consider bringing something you can comfortably wear under the suit.

Also, you might want to bring a bag for wet gear afterward. The class does not mention what you’ll have for storage, so plan for the practical reality of saltwater and sand.

Group Size and the Real Meaning of “Small”

Small group is not a marketing line here. The class is limited to 10 participants, which is a sweet spot for beginner learning.

In larger groups, instructors can only give broad tips. With a cap at 10, you are more likely to receive:

• clearer, repeated coaching points
• more quick corrections when you’re doing something unsafe
• a better chance to get the instructor’s attention when it clicks for you

If you’ve ever tried to learn something new in a big crowd, you know that progress feels slow. Here, the goal is faster learning through interaction, and the group size supports that.

Insurance and the 10% Store Discount

The class includes full insurance. For many people, that is the difference between enjoying the day and worrying the whole time. Surfing comes with real physical risk, especially when you are learning. Having insurance coverage lets you focus on technique and safety rather than guesswork.

You also get a 10% discount in the store. That can be useful if you decide you want to keep surfing after the lesson. Even if you are not sure yet, a discount gives you a chance to browse and decide without pressure.

Photography and Video: Optional, for an Added Fee

Professional photography and video is optional for an additional fee. If you love having a record of your first surf day, you can factor that cost into your budget.

If you are more camera-shy, you can skip it. Either way, focus on the actual surfing. A great first lesson is about learning what to do next time.

Food, Timing, and How to Plan the Rest of Your Day

Food and drink are not included. That is the main planning gap.

I’d treat this as a focused half-day and build your day around it:

• Eat before you go, so you don’t feel hungry right when you’re trying to concentrate.
• Plan a meal after, so you can recover comfortably on land.

Because the schedule is listed as 4 hours, you’re not losing an entire day. That makes it a strong fit if you want one active experience without turning your trip into a marathon.

Who Should Book This Beginner Surf Class

This class is a strong match if you:

• are brand new to surfing and want a structured start
• want certified coaching with safety emphasized
• prefer small-group energy over crowded instruction
• are traveling with a friend or partner and want to learn side-by-side
• appreciate value where gear and insurance are included

It is also a good choice if you learn best with clear, step-by-step direction. Several instructor descriptions focus on thorough, detailed explanations and easy communication. If you worry about not understanding cues, you should like that coaching style.

Who might reconsider: if you want a private lesson or advanced progression beyond basics in one session, this is built for beginners, not for technical high-level training.

Should You Book It, or Look Elsewhere?

I’d book this if your goal is to go from zero to confident basics in a single, well-guided session. The combination of certified instruction, included wetsuit and surfboard, and a small group of up to 10 gives you a real chance to learn, not just participate.

Book it too if you like the idea of learning with someone you care about, because the two-person group format is priced to make that easy.

The main reason not to book is simple: if you need the class to include food and drink, you’ll have to plan that yourself. Otherwise, the value stack here is strong, especially for first-timers who want to start safely and ride the learning curve without extra rentals or uncertainty.
