About Surfing Lesson in Playa del Ingles in Maspalomas.
Amazing instructors although it would have been even better with more instructors or smaller groups (I was in a group of 7 on 1 instructor) because it's such a difficult sport

About Surfing Lesson in Playa del Ingles in Maspalomas.
Our instructors were lovely guys, eager to teach us as much as possible in a short time. What we enjoyed very much was how our instructors spent all the time with us in the water, making sure we would learn how to catch the wave and give us constant feedback on what was well done and what had to be improved technically. They also separated the beginners from more experienced ones, so there would be at least two instructors and two groups respectively, so our level of surfing would be catered for properly.
