Frequent questions

You can close the reservation until the day of the class at +34/ 609482823 or at ecsurf@escuelacantabradesurf.com, although the ideal is to make the reservation at least 24 hours before to guarantee the correct organization of the groups.

As soon as we confirm the availability of the accommodation, the ideal is that you reserve it for us to guarantee the room. As soon as 48 hours have passed, we will have to reconfirm the availability of the accommodation.

There is no problem in modifying the days, always giving advance notice. We give a lot of flexibility.

If you make the cancellation 15 days before entering the accommodation, you will be paid 100% of the reservation. If you cancel the reservation during the 15 days before arrival at the accommodation, unless it is for justified reasons, you will lose the requested advance payment. With surf classes there is more flexibility and in case of canceling or not being able to take a class, we will always make up for it or give you a voucher with no expiration date so that you can use it again.

The definitive reservation will become effective once you have deposited at least 20% of the total in our account number (for course and surfcamp reservations) 7 days before the start of the courses and camps. The rest will be paid in cash or credit card at the School. To reserve accommodation, you must enter 100% of the total in our account number, at least 15 days before your arrival. If for some reason you couldn’t make the deposit, or you didn’t have time… Don’t worry.

Swimsuit, good energy and desire to have fun. The school provides all the surf equipment and at the school we have showers and lockers.

Surfing is for all ages. There is no specific age but it is essential to know how to swim and have a little autonomy. Normally from 5 or 6 years old we usually have children who start surfing and the limit is set by you.

Surfing is a sport that can be practiced by anyone, regardless of age. You just have to want to have a good time. We give surf lessons for all ages and levels and remember that we always separate the classes evenly in very small ratios, by ages and levels to make the most of the classes. There are many adults in our surf lessons.

They are organized by age and level to guarantee quality, safety, fun and correct learning in our surf classes.

We organize small groups made up of a maximum of 5-8 students per instructor depending on the levels and sea conditions.

We teach every day throughout the year. We have courses of 1, 2, 5, 7… days and weekends but we carry out the courses according to your availability, à la carte, at various times. We provide many facilities and total flexibility.

The ideal is to arrive 20 minutes before to confirm your check-in, organize the groups, put on your wetsuit and get ready.

Of course. You can take the classes you want without having to stay in our surf camps, surf hostels, surf cabins or surf houses.

EVERYTHING is included in the 2h surf lessons. If you want to keep the material for the rest of the day, we have a special offer for all our students and for only €10 extra per person you can have all the material free for the rest of the day. If you choose the Intensive surf course don’t worry because apart from the 4h of classes per day (2am + 2pm) all the rental material is already available at the free price for use all day. The intensive is the course we recommend if you want to come.

During the months of July and August classes are held at different times. 9-11/ 10-12/ 11-13/ 12-14/ 13-15/ 16-18 / 18-20. The best times to do the class are first thing in the morning (9-11), at noon (13-15) and late in the afternoon (18-20) since that is when there are fewer people and conditions are usually better. . During the other months you have classes in the morning from 11-13am and from 16-18pm. We will always depend on the sea and the weather, so we recommend confirming the schedule with the school and we will gladly advise/help you.

We recommend making tickets before 12 at night.

We recommend making departures before 4:00 p.m.

At Playa de Somo we receive good waves throughout the year, with March to June and September to November being the months with the best waves and the least influx of people. In July and August there are also good waves and a good atmosphere, but there are more people on the beach. In winter the waves are usually bigger and the water is colder, but we go with good wetsuits and we surf all year round in Cantabria.
