The Canary Islands are the autonomous community where foreign tourists spent the most money last year. Its subtropical climate is the main reason why travelers are encouraged to visit this region of Spain. Moderate temperature changes and the absence of abundant rainfall have made it possible for Calima surf school to be considered, by official media, as the best surf school in Lanzarote and, in general, in the archipelago. Below, we explain in detail what value propositions and what services make it one of the most important centers, specialized in this water sport, at the national level.
Almost 30 years without shipwrecking in history
Located in Caleta de Famara, a coastal town of just over 1,000 inhabitants, this surf school has been teaching courses in this sports discipline since 1996. It is only two years away from celebrating three decades of history, in which it has overcome economic situations as difficult as those produced as a result of the last pandemic. While it is true that, over time, its professionals have specialized in surf lessons for adults, the school also offers specific courses for children. Minors have at their disposal surf camps for children and adolescents such as those that will be organized in July 2025. In addition, the school offers, both for adults and for the little ones, the possibility of spending their birthday on a surfboard.
Calima surf school in figures
The teaching method that Calima surf school applies in all its surf classes (regardless of the age of its students) has been designed according to the BSA level 3 program. The British Surfin Association is an organization founded in the mid-60s as part of a professional body whose main objective is to evaluate the quality of men's and women's surf competitions. Calima surf school uses such an efficient methodology that, if the student has not learned to surf in 5 days with any of the surf courses that the school teaches in Lanzarote, they will receive the rest of the classes they need for free until they achieve it. There are already 92,000 happy customers, 20 highly qualified instructors on staff and 32 learning programs available. Its professional team is made up of surf instructors accredited by the Canary Islands Surf Federation, sailors and sailing instructors, champions and runners-up, professional kitesurfing instructors, surf teachers for children certified by the British Association, gym trainers, yoga teachers, snow instructors and surf experts accredited by the Fédération Française de Surf. A group of athletes also trained to lead intermediate and advanced level surf sessions.

Calima surf school also offers surf courses for beginners on Famara Beach. These programs are divided into two categories: general initiation courses (two hours daily) and intensive surf courses (4 hours each day). In both cases, it includes: accommodation, transportation to the beach, equipment (wetsuit, surfboard...), Wi-Fi connection, etc. In the first case, the price starts at 195 euros per person. In the second option (240 euros per person), the surf course also lasts three days, but also includes a photography service and subsequent analysis, to review and correct the errors made during the lesson.
Own gym for surfing students
Drysurf consists of adapting the training prior to the sports practice of surfing to the particularities of each surfer, whether beginner or professional. The objective is to improve the technique, so that the person learns to adopt the correct postures that will help them surf better, and to increase their sports performance without getting injured. For this, this surf school in Lanzarote has a gym at the service of its students, where they can practice drysurf two days a week. More than 800 students have already shared their positive comments about Calima surf school; a total of 849 reviews gives this school an average score of 4.9/5 on Google. On the other hand, the center also allows you to complement surfing with other activities, such as kitesurfing, diving or yoga.
