The best surf school on Lanzarote - The instructors are outstanding, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly encouraging. They focus not just on getting you on your feet, but on teaching proper technique, ocean awareness, and surf etiquette. You really feel like you’re learning something meaningful, not just ticking off a tourist activity.

Fun and pro! - One of the best surfcamp I've been to! The instructors were all super pro, fun and organized, groups were small enough to get some personalized tips and they took time to review the essential techniques at the beginning of each class. We stayed at casa 55, which was 10min wall from the beach, with a great rooftop and a comfy living room. We'll definitely be back!

How good you are when you are well! - A great experience. I'd done classes with other schools and I'll take this one. Mauri and Humberto are a 10: involved, attentive and very good vibes. If I go back to Lanzarote again, it'll be a safe stop. Thanks for everything and congratulations.

Great first time surfing lesson for teen son - Our son had an incredible experience with Mariano and said he deserves a 5-star review. He explained the surfing basics so he could easily understand and implement the techniques and gave him confidence in the water. We are so thankful that it was such a positive and fun entry into the sport - he can’t wait to go surfing again. Thank you Mariano and the great team at Red Star!

Newbie surfer - this class got me hooked - Great experience! I was quite apprehensive beforehand as I had never tried surfing, but the teachers put us quickly at ease. Very relaxed, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Didn’t expect at all to manage to stand up 5 times in my first class :) Famara beach is incredibly beautiful and now I want to come back for a proper surf camp!

Super technical, guided, surf training - I have been to surf camps in Morocco and Australia and found the instructors here to have been the most helpful to me. They are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and technical. I am tall and struggle with standing up and finding my balance. The amount of training and feedback given to me was extremely helpful. At the end of each day we reviewed videos of our surfing. I feel that I have a much better understanding of what I need to do to progress in my surfing. The location and water were stunning. I will surely be back in the near future to work on my surfing. 🏄‍♀️

A great surf school! - I spent 2 days at Red Star Surf and it was really great, I was already on the surfboard on my first day because the teachers explained it so great! They take time for each individual person and tell you what else you can improve. The videos are great because you can still see what you can improve and also due surf instructors give you tips. Super pleasant atmosphere in the whole team and also in the squad, I felt really comfortable! I would love to come back:)
