I highly recommend Red Star Surf Camp!
Very professional, funny and awesome teachers (thanks Mariano & Fabio) for this great experience! Although we have been 6 people (group lesson for one day) both guys had enough time for everyone of us. In just a few hours, you could already see a progress - it was such an emotionally rush and I really want to come back next summer and have some more lessons.
Thanks for this amazgin experience! This really was one of my best holiday in my life!

All the instructors were very nice and helpful. Like the last few years I learned very much from Mariano and am l really looking forward to learn more from him and get better at surfing.

We love the ambience and we enjoy the enthusiasm of the masters!
We met met Mariano several years ago and eve thought we are improving slowly, he is still patient and enthusiastic about the surf.
I would advise the school to look after keeping Mariano as long as possible, he makes a lot and knows well the area. He motivates everyone to try her/his best at surfing! read less

André is an awesome coach, with big experience, he sees all the problems at their root and gives lots of great hints. Big thanks to him!
Also I really appreciated the flexibility of Mariano with planning the classes.

By far the best place in Famara (shame about Famara itself though…) The accommodation is excellent. Rooms are spacious and comfy and the kitchen and common areas clean and well equipped. Maria,... read moreThe accommodation is excellent. Rooms are spacious and comfy and the kitchen and common areas clean and well equipped. Maria, the house manager, is an absolute gem. She goes above and beyond to make sure your room is perfect every single day and she’s super nice and thoughtful - hopefully Red Star keep hold of her!

The staff at the school are generally great, Mike & Marc in particular are really kind and helpful. I didn’t take any surf classes but all the second hand feedback was excellent.

It’s worth noting though that Red Star surf lessons are geared towards total beginners. Famara beach generally gets 30+ mph onshore winds almost all the time. Great for learning on the whitewash, but makes surfing out the back very difficult with any sort of sizeable swell. You can in theory drive to other spots but they’re fiercely defended by grumpy locals and generally a bit inaccessible.

Also worth noting that the hotel generally skews slightly older as the town is quieter - this was great for me but I think I’d warn off anyone under the age of 25 and tell them to head to Corralejo instead.

TL;DR Accommodation is excellent, surf instruction is amazing for beginners, and it’s a very chill slightly older crowd.

If you sit in between total beginner and advanced surfer or you’re after a party, I’d head somewhere else. More read less

The teachers were great, especially Juan who made the classes really fun and Mariano who is super professional and helped me a lot in improving my technique! Great boards and small groups, and the video analysis was super helpful! I will be back soon!! More read less

We never fail to have a great experience with Red Star but it had been a few years since we last came and so we were very pleasantly surprised when we were greeted by some familiar faces upon arrival. We immediately were made to feel at home, as always. Famara town all in all is just a great little community with the most stunning beach. Our standout favourites from the experience though were the roof top terrace at the house and our surf teachers. As complete beginners we felt very encouraged, motivated, well taught and had so much fun. Also helps they're all so multilingual! We had quite rough seas but felt like we were in great hands and learnt a lot. We'll be coming back again! More read less

The coachs speak Spanish English and some French. Good atmosphere. Nice to learn. We tested 5 half days for our sons, even the smallest of 8.
Nicely improved their surf. Special thanks to the coachs Juan y Alejo! read less

I’ve tried to learn surf in Brazil, Uruguay, Calforni, Bali, Argentina yet no school was able to transmit the fundamentals of surfing as Mariano and his colleagues did in Famara.

They make you feel comfortable with some warming and a brief class on the beach before following you in the water step by step. Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, can learn this beautiful sport in full safety and it’d be a pity not to give it a try as it’s one of the best way to enjoy Lanzarote, its nature and mood.

Give it a try and feel free to call me if I’m wrong. More read less

As I was not staying in Famara firstly I was given a free pick up from my apartment and dropped back home after the lessons had finished. Everybody who worked in the shop, Rafa and Mike both super accommodating and really easy to deal with made every trip to the shop a delight. when it came to the actual surfing lessons they were of an extremely high standard. The instructors who work there ( special shout out to Marino, Luciano and Dom) have a wealth of surfing knowledge, are passionate about surfing and just good fun to be around. The lessons where carried out in a very professional way. The day consisted of meeting in the morning to get wetsuits then travelling to the beach, A good warmup followed by on the beach theory of how to surf. Then the first surfing session in the morning then a break, then surfing in the afternoon which is video recorded. After that it is back to the shop for the video analysis. This is extremely helpful for going over any persistence mistakes. All the lessons are carried out in a chilled out fun way but the instructors don't slack on the teaching/coaching side either. I would highly advise anyone thinking of booking to take... I did 10 lessons from Red Star Surf and I could not have been happier with my choice.

Las clases de surf con Luciano, Dominic, Juan y Mariano son super divertidas y se avanza un montón con cada clase.
Me alojé en la Casa del Mar y la ubicación es perfecta para ir a la escuela y a la playa. La decoración es muy bonita y la habitación era cómoda y tranquila.

Son todos un gran equipo 🙂 Nos vemos pronto!! read less

We were split into small groups (4 - 6 persons) according to our level of experience and enjoyed classes containing warm-up, theory part and of course much practice. The teachers gave us personnalized tips, which was very helpful. If you book the full-day class, you can enjoy a video recording and debriefing at the end of the class - very helpful too. The funny, chill and nice atmosphere added charm to the professionalism. The class always took place in safe conditions. In brief, I definitely recommend to any beginner or intermediate surfer who wants to improve and have fun ! More read less
