Questions
Before you book
Why choose Flag Beach for your Fuerteventura surf school?
With over 35 years of watersports experience, Flag Beach is Fuerteventura’s longest-established surf school. We operate a mobile surf school, which means we drive you to whichever of the north’s 10+ surf spots has the best conditions each day for your surf lesson. This flexibility ensures beginners get gentle waves whilst more advanced surfers can access the island’s challenging breaks.
Our surf instructors are VDWS-recognised and IKO certified. They know every beach from Corralejo to El Cotillo inside out. We teach in six languages and keep group sizes small for individual attention. All surf equipment such as wetsuits, boards and insurance is included in your surf course package.
I’ve never done this. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The beginner courses start from zero, on the beach, with a theory lesson before you go near the water. You do need to be able to swim.
What’s included in a course?
Your instructor and the equipment. For private surf and kitesurf lessons you rent the equipment separately. Each course page lists exactly what is included and what the day-by-day plan looks like.
Can I get a licence?
Yes. Flag Beach is VDWS certified. The international VDWS licence is included in our wing foil courses and in our kitesurf and wing foil camps. On kitesurf courses you can add it for €20. With the licence you can rent equipment at other centres afterwards.
