Lessons run every day from 8:00 to 19:00 and last around 2 hours. When booking you will see five 2-hour slots to help organise the coach’s day, but these are not fixed times: they depend on tides and sea conditions. The coach confirms the exact time at least 24h in advance.
Catch the best waves!
01 — The school
Pure Surf School.
A small surf school where the ocean teaches first and we just translate. Beginners welcome. Veterans, too.
We are more than a surf school. We are a tribe of saltwater optimists, devoted to the rhythm of the Gran Canaria coast and the slow craft of riding waves with respect.
Tucked into the cliffs of San Agustín beach, the school grew out of a single longboard and a stubborn love for the Atlantic. Two decades later the lineup looks different, but the welcome has not changed.

Every season a new crew leaves with sandy hair, sunburned shoulders and a story to tell. Some come back for the wave. Most come back for the people.
My daughter and I absolutely loved our surfing experience, such attention to our progress, encouragement and wonderful photos and videos to capture our times. I would highly recommend Pure Surf School! 5 stars!

What a beautiful experience this wonderful surf school gave us, a qualified instructor in whom you can see the passion for teaching the sport that he loves and has been teaching for many years. We went in a group and we thought the experience was spectacular. Ion motivated us at every moment and explains things to you as many times as necessary, patient and infects you with joy. We will repeat again very soon. Thanks Ion
I had an amazing experience! Ion is a great teacher with loads of patience. He always makes you feel good about yourself and tries to give you the surf feeling as quick as possible without forcing. I will definetly come back and keep on trying!

Had great two sessions to get my two kids started with surfing. They were engaged and had great time.
