Timetable
We generally start at 9:30 in the mornings and finish up around 13.30.
However, we are highly dependent on surfing conditions and tides so this timetable might change on some days.
Our surf classes run from Monday to Saturday without a specific starting day. We recommend that you book as early in your holiday as possible just in case you love it and want more!:)
Stay Hydrated!
At Surf Canaries, we’re committed to reducing single-use plastic and minimizing water waste. That’s why we offer a free water refill station for all our students.
Bring your reusable water bottle and fill up as much as you need for your surf day—fresh, clean, and plastic-free!
Forgot your bottle? No worries—we’ve got eco-friendly alternatives available at the school.
