What a great experience, Famara gives great conditions for both beginners and intermediate surfers with plenty of space so that one never gets the feel of being overcrowded. Red Star instructors are also awesome. Mariano, Gerry and Dom are working together since a while and they complement each other greatly.They either get in the white water with the beginners or paddle out with more advanced students. Daily video correction also makes a huge difference for spotting what has to be improved in a clearer way. Looking forward to come back as soon as possible. read less

I was there for the second time. Famara is a very cozy village with good people living there and tasty food. I was mostly cooking at home, in 20 min of driving there some big grocery shops. The camping apartments are clean and cosy. The Red Star team is amazing, always helpful and involved. Thank you Red Star for this wonderful experience. My heart is with you. Special thanks to my instructors Mariano and Gerry. I’m already planning my next trip. ️ P.S. don’t miss out to check the restaurant and bar in the cave called Lagomar, 7 km from Famara, very impressive More read less

Choosing Red Star surf camp was definitely the best choice since they offer accommodation as well as surf lessons and yoga classes, it makes it much easier.

The surfing experience was great. Unlike other surf camps, the lessons are carried out in small groups - that means the instructors are able to properly follow your progress, constant feedback and teaching.

Not only the system works, but their GREAT instructors.
I had the chance to learn from Mariano and Dom. Both of them were just amazing. Very dedicated, they were thoughtful and always took the time for feedback and direction, as well as looking after the rest of the team.
5 STARS!

Something that I found very useful and hadn’t seen before in other surf schools is that one of the instructors would film us every day from the beach.
That would allow them to give us very specific feedback.
Every day after the lessons we would all go back to the school shop and go through the videos. This way would all get personalised and specific feedback, as well as an injection of good energy and support!

I would highly recommend Red Star Surf camp. More read less

But nevertheless, I really enjoyed company of other people in the surf houses of Red Star Surf. Red Star Surf team takes care that all the people in the surf houses can meet and have a good time.
Most of the other people in the surf houses took the surf lessons. And from what I heard and compared to my experiences in other surf schools, this is one of the best surf schools with excellent surf instructors who make sure that people have fun and learn surfing as much as they can. read less

We chose Red Star Surf for the surf camp and accommodation because it was a great offer and it really lived up to expectations.
We stayed in a shared house - which was great! The location is amazing - right on the beach. Facilities very clean and our private room was lovely. It was also nice to meet people who were also staying with Red Star.
We were beginner surfers so were a little nervous about taking classes but the teachers at Red Star are SO amazing we had the best time!!
At Red Star they make sure each surf class is small so you get full attention from the teacher which is so helpful. We had Dominic and Mariano teaching us - not only are they amazing teachers they are also very welcoming and great fun!
Would definitely recommend Red Star to anyone visiting Famara.
We hope to go again 🙂 More read less

I nearly had any experience in surfing but the instructors (who teach in small groups) really take their time until you have to confidence to do it on your own. So thank you for your patience Mariano and Dominic!! Also the people working in the shop are very helpful and the yoga classes are lots of fun. It's a small little surfer town but the atmosphere is great!! 🙂 read less

Casa Natalia is a surf house, so do not expect anything fancy, but it is clean, quiet and has everything you need.

The guys at the surf school were really helpful and friendly. They really try to teach you to surf and correct your mistakes - both at the beach and then after the lesson on the video. I think I improved a lot. And I could also recommend taking the yoga lessons which is very relaxing after 5 hours of surfing.

Famara is a nice and quiet little village, ideal for your surf holidays. I recommend to rent a car at the airport because it is quite far and you definitelly want to explore the island as well.

Thanks guys. I will be back More read less

During my time in this surf school I talked to several people that switched from other schools to this one. One guy switched from Lanza Surf and one girl from Calima. They said that at Red Star it's more organized and that in those other surf schools they don't do video analysis.
I had a great time with Red Star Surf.
They have a lot of daily guests, so they repeat the theory every day. For someone who is staying several days this part can get a bit boring. But it's still helpful to be reminded.
Mariano is a very passionate teacher and Dominic always kept things fun.
I'm very grateful for the tips they gave me. read less

Would probably recommend making the starting time be more flexible - from group to group or from day to day, as not only the wave&tide conditions may vary, but also it'll become possible to make the most of the day having a lesson end not at 13 or 15:00, but at 10 or 12. It would give the possibility to explore the Island on the same day not forcing to make a hard choice - either to surf or to go sightseeing. Not to mention that the light and water color are just outstanding at 8-9am!

Great school, nice attitude! reception guys are always friendly and cheerful as well:) More read less

Famara is no different, and surf shops line the main street of this charming little town.

Red Star, however, is a gem because it actually teaches students how to surf. The instructors break down the fundamentals of surfing and take the time to make corrections, both in and out of the water. They take videos of your surfing and use it to provide helpful feedback, not just sell you a clip of “that time you stood up on a surfboard.” They’re detail-oriented, which I love.

I have family members who are surfers, friends who are surf instructors, and I’ve taken surf lessons over the years from different folks. I’ve almost never seen surf instruction of this caliber. The instructors are friendly and supportive, and you’ll have a great time if you’re just looking to try surfing for the first time. However, nice, fun-loving surf instructors are easy to find. Nice, fun-loving surf instructors who will teach you how to surf well – that’s what makes this place first-rate. More read less
