LONG WEEKEND BREAKS IN LOREDO, CANTABRIA
learn to surf, improve your surfing or GUIDED SURFARIS

Our surf school, surf guides and accommodation are located in the picturesque coastal village of Loredo in the Ribamontan al Mar area of Cantabria. The village lies across the bay from the historic and capital city of the region Santander. This area is blessed with miles of golden sandy beaches/coves and lies in the green foothills of the 'Picos de Europa' a towering mountain range that seems to sweep western Cantabria towards the sea. The water is clean and the atmosphere is great. This is the birthplace of Spanish Surfing and our established school is run by local surfer Mario and his father "Meco" a pioneer of surfing in Spain and a local legend.

Late spring, summer and autumn are ideal times to visit as the surf is consistent and the climate is pleasent, becoming warmer during the summer months. The natural sandy beach offers a variety of peaks to suit all levels of surfers. The beach offers a good range of facilities for locals and tourists. These factors combine to make Loredoperfect surf destination for all levels of surfers. If you have a specific need then please do not hesitate to contact the team for a tailormade quotation.

DATES & AVAILABILITY

The Surf School is open from April to October and places are subject to availability at time of booking. This coastline receives enough swell during this period especially for beginners and intermediates, however for more experienced surfers we recommend Spring and Autumn as the surf is generally bigger and more challenging.

Surf School & Surf Lessons

The Loredo Surf School was setup in 2002 by local surfer Mario and since then it has earned it's reputation as being one of the best schools in the Cantabria area. Surfing has been part of family life since the early 60's when Marios father "Meco" started surfing. Not only is he a local surfing hero, he is also one of Spains pioneers of surfing. What makes this surf school special is the history and amount of years surfing knowledge that Mario and Meco collectively offer to their clients. Now in his 70's "Meco" still surfs on a daily basis and he loves nothing more than to help Mario with the surf shcool and share his passion and stories from the 60's onwards with clients! If that doesn't inspire you to surf then nothing will!

The surf school is accredited by the Cantabrian & Spanish Surfing Federation. The Surf Instructors are all qualified via the Cantabrian Surfing Federation (FCS) and all have the necessary skills and patience to help you progress in a safe but fun enviroment at your own pace. The coaching is specifically aimed at those who have never surfed before or those who have already taken some some lessons but feel they need to improve further. Surfing is progressive and there is always something new to be experienced and learnt!

For safety reasons and to ensure you get the attention you need on dry land and in the water, the Surf Lessons have a low student to instructor ratio. All students are placed with an instructor who specialize in teaching at a particular level.
