Our surf courses for families

Hi, I'm Derek. I'm responsible for the children's and family surf courses at OTRO MODO.
The sea and surfing are my passion. Even as a child, the beach and waves were my adventure playground. Now I would like to share my enthusiasm for surfing with you, because even as an adult, surfing is the source of motivation and joy for me.

We offer surf lessons for families with children and teenagers all year round.
During the school holidays, we also offer the possibility for families (with three to five members) to be accompanied and taught exclusively by their own "private" surf instructor.

In addition, we have a surf course model especially for families with small children.

We pick up our families from their hotel or accommodation for the surf course. Of course we have extra child seats for our surf course kids in the car.

For surfing, you only need a surfboard and a wetsuit when it gets chilly. Set-up and use are child's play and require only a brief explanation.
To protect them from the sun and cold, we have child-sized wetsuits with long legs and arms.
Of course, we only provide children with lightweight surfboards with a soft foam surface to prevent unlikely injuries.

Every day we go to the beach that offers the best conditions for surfing for families with children. Of course these are only beaches with soft sand, little current and small waves.

It is always impressive to see how playfully children learn new movements. In the family surf course, we therefore place particular emphasis on the practical part in the water, so that the young and adult surfers have enough time together in the waves.
To achieve this, we shorten the theoretical part of the surf course a little without neglecting the necessary rules for safety with the surfboard in the water.
In short and simple steps, we first explain the take off movement on the surfboard with dry runs on land and later in the water.
Then it's off into the waves with the surf instructor. Our surf instructor will help you choose the waves, give the surfboard a little push so that it glides smoothly into the wave and of course improve your surfing technique.

Price for private surf course for families

For families with 3 to 5 members

For families with three to five members, we offer the possibility to book the surf course as a private family surf course. This means that the family has its own surf instructor for the duration of the course who exclusively teaches and looks after the family members.
In this way, the parents have more time to surf themselves, because the surf instructor can respond much more individually to the needs of their children.
Above all, the shared experience of surfing and playing with the waves is so much more intimate and intense for the family.

*1 day family private surf course costs 109€
3 days family private surf course costs 299€
5 days family private surf course costs 449€

After 5 days surf course each additional day costs 89€.

Our surf course for young families

  • Two people share a place in the surf course and pay only one surf course
  • Parents can take turns taking care of the child

Hello, I'm Christof. I am the founder of OTRO MODO Surfschool. I have two children and live with my family in Morro Jable.
Also for children under 7 years the beach and sea are a great playground. Especially right here small children need constant care and protection.
For many young mothers and fathers, it is not easy to practice sports while and take care of the family at the same time.

Because of that we offer young families the opportunity to book a surf course and share it.
That means:
Both parents take part in our safety instructions, theory lessons and practice exercises on land. In the water the parents change. Therefore surfing is possible for both parents and the children are always cared for by their mother or father.

Requirement for that is private rental car, which can be rented on Fuerteventura up from 15 euros per day.
A rental car offers further advantages. The sun in the Canary Islands is very intense year round.

On many beaches there are no shady places, restaurants or toilets. Due to the presence of the surf course group we are teaching, we can not leave the beach at any time. Umbrellas can help, but do not stop sunlight and heat permanently. With the rental car you can adapt to the needs of the children and leave the beach earlier. If the remaining parent want to continue surfing, we always guarantee you a free place in our surf school's car.

This surf course offers a very good price-performance-ratio and is booked by many young families.
