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!
