At Tortuga Surf School we organize surfing courses and lessons that suit all levels and ages.

LEVEL
BEGINNER
First surfing lessons and approach to the discipline.
​
The lesson begins on land with a comprehensive explanation and introduction to wave surfing; we will see the parts of the board and their functions, paddling movements, the "take off" or "pop up," how to read the sea and the rules of the "surfing code" to be maintained in the sea to surf while having fun in maximum safety.
This is followed by the practical lesson in the sea, in the foams or on small waves, always accompanied by an instructor who will follow you wave by wave.
Lessons can be individual or group.
​
We will use soft top boards from 8 feet and up.

How to choose a wave

Paddling a wave by yourself
-
Correct take-off

LEVEL
INTERMEDIATE
You already know how to paddle a wave yourself and make the correct take off but would like to learn how to make the first turns to surf the "wave wall."
​
The lesson begins on land with an in-depth explanation on reading the sea and waves; then the instructor will explain how to make frontside and backside turns to "cut" the wave, start making maneuvers such as the "bottom turn" and "top turn."
This is followed by a lesson in the sea flanked by an instructor who will follow you closely on each wave, correcting movements where necessary.
Lessons may be individual or group.
​
We will use soft top or resin boards between 7 and 8 feet.
GOALS
-
Fully know the rules of precedence
-
Know and be able to identify yourself whether a wave is "right" or "left"
-
Surfing the "green" part of the wave
-
Maneuvers such as the "bottom turn" and "top turn"
*Integration of a video analysis of the lesson is also possible.
LEVEL
ADVANCED
You are able to go into the sea in all kinds of conditions but would like to improve your performance by learning more advanced maneuvers.
​
The lesson starts on land, with the help of video and blackboard we understand what you need to improve, understanding the line on the wave to hold and studying well the sea condition during that day.
The instructor will explain the movements and rotations that will allow you to make a correct turn.
We will start talking about "top turn" maneuvers such as cutback, snap, off the lip, floater, etc., both frontside and backside.
This will be followed by an in-sea lesson joined by an ISA L2 (International Surfing Association) certified instructor.
GOALS
-
Improve maneuvers already learned
-
Perform at least one maneuver on the wave
-
Duck dive
-
Generate speed (up and down)
