We arrived by cruise ship and were first off the boat. Picked up by Phil exactly as planned. Arrived at the beach early and started class. Phil is an exceptional teacher. The first words out of his mouth were "we are going to start with the basics". We went step by step through safety, and how to get up on... More

I booked Lava Flow Surf school - to learn a new skill with my easily bored 15 year old son. (Father and son bonding day out) We were collected 9am from our hotel in Puerto Del Carmen and taken to the beautiful Farma beach resort by our mega friendly instructor Phil. Once we arrived, we were given training, wet suits... More

I've never surfed, snow- or skateboarded in my life, but Phil had me riding a wave standing before lunch the very first day! Compared to the other bigger groups being taught alongside us on Famara beach, the Lavaflowsurf-group of max 6 people was much better; our instructor had time to observe each of us individually and give us specific instructions,...

We had used Lava Flow at the end of 2012 and due to Big Paul enthusiasm and amazing instruction booked yo go again in Feb 2013. We surfed Famara beach which was challenging to say the least. Paul always greets you with a smile and a funny story and whilst surfing keeps you motivated and enthused. When you energy starts... More

We went to Lanzarote and went surfing! This was really great! I advise everyone to do this wit lava flow surf school! They take time, take pictures and we actually stand on the board for couple of seconds !

I'd never surfed before prior to our week in Lanzarote. Paul was a great instructor and had me riding the waves within no time under challenging circumstances. The group was kept small and light-hearted, and Paul acted as a useful tour guide as well as surf instructor. We all felt like he went out of his way to ensure we... More

You'll notice most surf schools in Lanzarote have good scores on tripadvisor - it is difficult to make up your mind so we tried a few. Paul at Lava Flow Surf was by far the most fun and useful coaching we had there. The greatest thing is that he keeps groups small and understands everyone learns differently. During our session...

We booked via email and Borghild (Pauls wife) was very efficient. We wanted a small group as we have children age 9 and 12. And Borghild promised we would be in a small group. Paul collected us from our hotel and for three days we surfed with him in groups of 5 each day although occasionally his group reaches maximum... More
