Hello, I'm Tine. I manage the office at our surf school and organize the surf lessons with our instructors.
I'm happy to answer your questions and send you a free, no-obligation quote for your surf course.

Hi, I’m Emiel – Head Coach at OTRO MODO Surfschool.
Our surf courses run all year round and can start on any day of the week – so you can begin your surfing journey on Fuerteventura whenever it suits you!

Depending on your level, we’ll put together a personalized course package for you – from beginner surf lessons to intermediate and advanced surf coaching.
During school holidays, we also offer special surf lessons for kids and family surf courses.

We pick you up from your hotel or surf camp – every day. You don’t need to worry about a thing – we’ll pick you up in the morning right from your accommodation.

Quality gear for every level. Our wetsuits are from Billabong – the legendary Australian surf brand with over 50 years of experience.
Our surfboards are made by Ocean & Earth: beginner surfers use soft foam-top boards that are safe and forgiving, while intermediate riders get light and responsive epoxy boards.

Kids surf helmets for extra safety. Children under 12 also receive a special surf helmet – for added protection from bumps and the strong Canary Islands sun.

Every day at the best beach for your surf level. Depending on the wind, waves, and weather, we choose the beach or surf spot with the best conditions for your level. Just strap the boards to the roof – and off we go!

At the beach, we’ll show you the currents and mark out our surfing area. After a short warm-up session, you’ll get a safety briefing and an introduction to the equipment. Then we start with the first exercises on land – before hitting the water!

Your surf coach is with you in the water. They’ll help you choose the right wave, give you a push if needed, and offer helpful tips on the spot to improve your technique.

Small groups of 4–8 students per instructor = personal coaching. We keep our group sizes small so you can learn better and feel safe in the water. With only 4 to 8 students per coach, we can adapt to your pace and give you truly individual feedback.
Of course, there’s always time to answer your questions about tides, currents, wave formation and more.

See yourself surf – and improve your technique! In our multi-day surf courses, we offer video analysis.
We’ll show you what you're doing well and where there's still room to grow.

Radio helmet coaching = real-time tips on the wave. With radio helmet coaching, your coach gives you live feedback while you're riding the wave. This helps you improve your timing, take-offs, turns, and fast maneuvers right when it matters most.

Want to learn how to surf from scratch? In our beginner surf course on Fuerteventura, you'll get the ideal introduction to wave riding – with easy exercises, shallow water, and lots of individual coaching.

• Daily lessons at the best spot for your surf level
• Exercises: riding whitewater waves, take-off, balance, trimming, turning
• Surf course in waist-deep water for maximum safety
• Video coaching included in multi-day courses

Already mastered the basics and ready for the next step? Our intermediate surf course takes you out to the line-up, teaches you how to catch unbroken green waves, and helps you improve your surfing with focused techniques like bottom and top turns.

• Paddle technique & positioning in the line-up
• Take-off in a green (unbroken) wave
• Video coaching for faster progress
• Optional: radio helmet coaching with real-time tips during the ride

You’re in the water regularly and want to take your surf skills to the next level? In our advanced course on Fuerteventura, you’ll work on maneuvers like cutbacks, floaters, and snaps – supported by personalized coaching, video analysis, and optional radio helmet communication.

• Focus on fast & steep waves
• Techniques: floater, snap, cutback, power moves
• Includes 2x video coaching & 1x radio helmet coaching

During school holidays, we offer exclusive semi-private family surf lessons – where you surf together as a family with your own personal surf coach. A truly unforgettable experience for both kids and parents!

Children under 11 can also join without their parents – in small groups of maximum 4 kids per instructor. Your child gets full attention: carrying their board, choosing waves, and of course, catching that perfect moment to be pushed into the wave.

Outside school holidays, our semi-private surf courses for intermediate surfers are available – also limited to just 4 participants per coach. This means your instructor can focus on your technique in the line-up and give you personal tips to help you improve faster and with more confidence.

1 day of surf lessons: from €99

Each additional day: from €85

What is the minimum age to join?
You can join from the age of 7. That’s the ideal age to start learning how to surf safely and with fun.

Do I need to know how to swim?
Yes, you should have basic swimming skills. But don’t worry – you don’t need to be an expert. Our beginner lessons take place in shallow and safe water.

Can I join if I’ve never surfed before?
Absolutely! Our beginner courses are designed especially for people who are surfing for the very first time.

Can I book a course without accommodation?
Yes, no problem at all. And if you’d like, we’re happy to help you find a great place to stay nearby.

We offer courses in English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian.

Will you pick me up from my hotel?
Yes! Our free hotel shuttle is available for all hotels and accommodations in Costa Calma, La Pared, Jandia, Butihondo, Esquinzo, and Morro Jable.

What should I bring to the surf course?
You don’t need anything special – just your swimwear, a towel, water, sunscreen, and maybe a light snack.

I’m happy to help you choose the surf course that’s right for you. Our courses run all year round and can start on any day of the week. You can even change your course level at any time during your stay.
Because we teach in small groups and focus on a relaxed, family-like atmosphere, we can adapt to your personal goals and your individual surf level.
