Description

Somo is one of northern Spain's premier surf destinations, with consistent waves year-round that make it the perfect setting to sharpen your skills. These lessons are designed exclusively for experienced surfers—intermediate or advanced level—who want to make a real leap in their surfing.

Work with certified instructors from leading schools such as AWA Surf, Escuela Cántabra de Surf (ECS) and Koa Escuela de Surf. Sessions focus on wave reading, positioning at the peak, manoeuvre execution and style refinement. Groups are kept small to ensure personalised feedback, and private lessons or technical clinics with video analysis are also available.

Whether you've been surfing for years and want to fine-tune the details or you're preparing for competition, you'll find a format suited to your goal. Somo beach, just steps from the schools, offers varied conditions that allow work on everything from longboard cross-stepping to shortboard snaps and barrel riding depending on the day.

Not recommended for beginners or young children. Prior surf experience is required.
