Discover surfing in Gran Canaria with Wavelovers
Would you like to learn to surf or improve your technique in a natural environment, away from the crowds and with expert instructors? Enjoy an unforgettable experience at Playa de La Laja with Wavelovers, a school that combines professional instruction, a passion for the ocean, and personalised attention that makes all the difference.
Just 10 minutes from the centre of Las Palmas, Playa de La Laja is a little-known spot, perfect for surfing in peace. Its volcanic sand seabed, consistent waves, and laid-back atmosphere make this the ideal spot both for a first lesson and for perfecting your surfing.
Our experience begins with a welcome, where you'll meet your instructor and the group. Then we'll do a physical warm-up and a technical briefing on the sand about safety, posture, paddling, and basic technique. Then it's time to get in the water! Our certified instructors will be with you at all times, helping you step by step.
Our approach is 100% hands-on. We want you to be able to stand up, keep your balance, and enjoy the feeling of surfing your first wave. And if you already have experience, we'll work with you on more technical aspects such as turns, timing, and reading the sea so that you can take your surfing to the next level.
We work with small groups to provide personalised instruction, tailored to each level. We use the exclusive Wavelovers Method, which combines biomechanics, pedagogy, and learning psychology to teach you how to surf in a progressive, safe, and fun way.
It includes:
• Complete experience (approximately 2.5 hours)
• Certified instructor
• Board, wetsuit, and full gear
• Accident and civil responsibility insurance
• Individual feedback
Suitable for all levels, from age 11 and up. You don't need previous experience, just know how to swim and be eager to have fun.
Wavelovers is more than a school: it's a community, a lifestyle, and a way of understanding the sea. Join us, feel the energy of the ocean, and experience surfing in one of the most special spots on Gran Canaria.
