Great instructors This is the 4th time I take surf lessons and I have learned more with the Red Star team in... read more 2 days than with all the other schools I went to!

The Red Star instructors are very quick at spotting your problem and giving you individual advice to improve. They are also very enthusiastic and hands on, pushing you on the board, etc. instead of just encouraging you from the shore. You will progress very quickly with them and they are super fun and friendly!

Special thanks to Mariano who made me stop using my knee to stand on the board 🙂 read less

Great experience In July I was at Red Star Surf. I stayed in one of the surfhouses that was close to the... read more shop and the beach and I also took surf lessons and yoga classes for several days. This was my first surfing experience and it was great! The three teachers were very professional, funny and patient. The yoga classes were very relaxing and easy to follow for beginners. I had a great time and I learned a lot! Thanks for everything Red Star Team! read less

Great surf school The Red Star Surf school is the perfect place to go if you wanna try surf. Not only Caleta de... read more Famara beach has these smooth waves that allow you to learn in total safety, but the teachers are really great. They make you learn by giving individual tips, which is very important and they also prevent the students from the specificities of the ocean. I’d definitely recommend the RSS ! read less

My second visit and I'll be back! This was my second time staying with Redstar on their surf and yoga camp and I loved it so much... read more I'll be back a third time! The teachers are great, friendly and really good fun, Mariano, Gerry and Max are all hilarious but know how to push you and get you out there, catching waves and feeling much cooler than you actually look!

They usually video the lessons and it's really useful to see where you need to improve.

The daily yoga sessions are really easy to follow, good for improving and maintaining your flexibility and preventing you from getting too stiff after a day of being battered by the Famara waves!

The surf houses are cool, comfortable and sociable and a 2 minute walk from the surf shop/the beach.

I arrived in Lanzarote stressed and tired and left zen, tanned, better at surfing and able to touch my toes! More read less

Our first surfing experience Me and my girlfriend surfed the first time with the red star surf school. It was an amazing experience and... read more we want to repeat that in our next vacations. We had lots of fun and I am very greatful for the lesson.

I just can recommend this school and the teachers, they know exactly how to deal with their learners and how to bring them onto the big ones.

Hope we going to see us on the board read less

Excellent surf course My boyfriend and I did a day surf course with the red star team at famara and it was excellent.... read more We were both already able to surf a little bit after just a few hours and we felt bad that we couldnt do more days due to departure. The surf teachers are very attentive and competent. I also like how we got to watch videos of ourselves at the end of the course to assess what we could do better. really loved this place and will return!

Thanks, guys! read less

Thank you for a great time! �

The best school situated in the best place of Lanzarote to start surfing. I just had a week-end in Lanzarote and wanted to learn surf. First, it is the only school which attended... read more me on the phone.I had 2 days class. You can choose Half day(3hours) or full day(5hours).Excellent teachers,very proactive, very good english-spanish speaking. Teachers very attentive, opened to share their knowledge, passion and give tricks.Great team, great ambiance.I ll come back asap. read less

Surf trip Accommodation was beautiful. Stayed in room 55. Had the place to myself the first night then different people came and... read more went. Made some good friends. Yoga was great for a newbie and the surfing was amazing with Max and Gerry. Funny guys!! Invited us out for a night with the locals too. It was nice to go to Lanzarote and meet Spanish people rather than lots of tourists. Recommend to everyone. I'll be back in the winter! read less

Awesome Organized the trip on short notice to take a break from city and get into nature. I got it.

Place: the... read more place was amazing, great condition to learn how to surf. Famara is in a UNESCO protected area. The place felt authentic and perfect to disconnect from too much civilization. All felt very simple, and easy. There are local shops with food and services. Few great tavernas and restaurants, very authentic. I rented a car very cheaply and was great to have it. Takes relatively little to tour the entire island. The team at Red Star Surf can give great tips to places to see when you are not surfing or doing yoga.

Surf: Team was awesome, very experienced and fun. They really know how to motivate you as well as understand how to improve your technique. Mariano is amazing teacher and great surfer, did most of my sessions with him. Gerry was also great, patient and fun. If you do more than 3 days, be careful to pace yourself on the sessions and get some training ahead of your Surf camp (especially for the arms for strength and back for flexibility) - the 3rd day I got really exhausted on my arms and back started aching very badly. I should have trained more before!

Yoga: totally recommend it, Felix is great teacher ... very consistent. After hours in the ocean yoga really helps finding more flexibility and mental balance.

People: met lots of people of different ages and countries. Very international and friendly environment. Always hanged out together in the evening.

Rooms: accommodation was basic in my house (Casa Natalia), the place was well equipped with everything you need to cook. I recommend more Casa 55, or Casa Sofia... common area are very nice there, with awesome “surf” atmosphere. Saw also some great apartments.

Overall great. read less

experiencia muy buena posibilidad para una nueva expereinecia en una de los mejores playas del archipelago.Vale la pena.

Great surf lessongs Had my first surf experiences with Red Star Surf, it's been great. Mariano did a perfect job teaching me everything,... read more theoretically and practically! The school was very well organized and the staff open, welcoming and helpful. Would love to come back. read less

Great place to reboot the body and mind I booked seven nights in Red Star Surf and Yoga from May 7th as a post-uni trip. I partook in... read more five days of surfing classes and five evening yoga classes.

It was a stunning week that I feel I'm still benefiting from, as it was an escape from the usual city stress and into physical and mental rehabilitation.

I stayed in the Famara room in Case del Mar which had incredible sea/mountain views. The house was clean (with a really lovely woman, Fara, looking after it) and had a good kitchen, TV and WIFI (not that you'll need it).

The surf classes are run by a great group of surfer dudes: Mariano is an expert at his craft who had brilliant advice; Jerry the Aussie who lives and breathes the surf; and the young cool dude Maxie who helped me out a lot with little pieces of wisdom.

Three out of the five yoga classes were run by Elsa, who was exactly the type of calming energy you need after a long day of surfing. You can tell she loves her work and her classes were great combination of intense physical exertion and much needed meditation.

My final two yoga classes were run by Felix who a complete gentleman. Even his tone of voice feels good for the soul. He helped me pull shapes I didn't know were possible.

All in all, great experience that I would highly recommend. It's a lovely but small town, with very little going on post-9pm. A few good restaurants that are great value but not a place you would go on a wild night out. The turnover for people seems to be quick, so when you land you are not walking in to long-formed friend groups. This is good as you're all in the same boat, but it may take effort on your part to get the troops out for dinner/drinks, which they will if you ask!

Bring a hoodie, it's windy!

Thanks the RSS team, and see you again soon hopefully.
