Private Surf Lessons

Find the perfect wave and enjoy an unforgettable experience!

The Private Surf Lessons at Dude Surf School are designed for those seeking individualized attention and faster progression in their surfing. With an instructor just for you, you’ll be able to fully focus on improving your technique, building confidence in the ocean, and learning at your own pace without distractions.

A private surf lesson is a unique and completely personalized experience. It’s putting on your wetsuit, grabbing your board, and running to the sea. It’s arriving at the beach, observing the waves, and preparing to surf at your own pace. It’s the feeling of gliding on a wave, refining your technique and confidence, and ending up on the sand with a big smile.

In our Private Surf Lessons, you can come alone or accompanied by up to two friends, and the program is adapted to the level of each participant. Each lesson is tailored so that you make the most out of every moment both in and out of the water.

How Private Surf Lessons Work

Each intermediate surf lesson is divided into three moments: warm-up, technical explanation, and practice in the sea.

  • Warm-up: After putting on your wetsuit and grabbing your board, we begin with mobility exercises, muscle activation and physical preparation to ensure your body is ready to surf safely and efficiently.
  • Technical Explanation: In this stage, we focus on techniques tailored to your level, wave reading, wave selection, and board position. You’ll practice key movements on the sand and can ask any questions before entering the water.
  • Practice in the Sea: It’s time to apply everything in the ocean. For beginners, we start with whitewater waves and small waves; for more experienced surfers, we work on technique, paddling and board control; and for advanced levels, we focus on maneuvers and more challenging waves. The pace and intensity are adjusted to each participant, ensuring learning, fun, and progression.

At the end of the lesson, we return together to the school, where you can put away the equipment and share your experience with your friends.

The duration of a private surf lesson is 90 minutes, combining technique, personalized progression, and lots of fun, making every session a memorable experience.

DUDE is not just a surf school, it is a place made up of incredible people who leave their mark on us, not only through their surfing lessons, but also through their friendship and the special moments we share. DUDE was, and always will be, home.

DUDE is my favourite school. It was here that I started learning to surf and where I made my most beautiful surfing memories, both in and out of the water. In addition to the unique experience of learning to catch a wave, I met some wonderful people. I know that whenever I want to feel at home, DUDE is where I go.
