El Palmar Surf school

Do you want to learn to surf in Spain? Then this is the place for you!
The A-Frame Surf School in southern Spain offers surf courses for every level. Experienced surfers who do not want to book a surf lesson or course can hire a surfboard at our surfboard rental and take on the world-class waves on their own.

Highly qualified and experienced surf instructors teach you how to surf - in small groups or in individual coaching. If you are an advanced surfer and don't want to book a surf course, you can rent a surfboard in our surfboard rental and conquer the waves on your own.

Surf lessons

Location of our El Palmar Surf school

The A-Frame Surf School and our two camps are located directly on the beach at El Palmar, a small Spanish coastal town near Conil de la Frontera. Our surf school is located on the Costa de la Luz, which means “Coast of Light”. This beautiful stretch of coast deserves its name. With 300 days of sunshine a year, Andalusia is one of the sunniest regions in Europe and even in winter it is wonderfully mild. You can holiday here any time of the year and expect pleasant temperatures and quality waves to learn to surf.

El Palmar Surf camp

If you want to spoil yourself during your surf holiday, we recommend a stay in one of our surf camps. At the A-Frame Surf & Yoga Camp we offer surf courses and yoga classes as well as delicious food and comfortable accommodation.

More details about our El Palmar Surf & Yoga Camp

At our camp you will find peace and quiet, learn to surf, relax and strengthen with yoga and enjoy fantastic food. You will stay in beautiful Andalusian-style accommodation while enjoying plenty of privacy. Now all you have to do is make up your mind: Would you rather live directly on the beach or in the idyllic and peaceful countryside? At the beachfront camp you have breakfast with sea view. The Oasis Camp is a bit quieter and each accommodation has its own garden. Also, from here it is only a stone’s throw (400m) to the beach.

The surf lessons take place five days a week, with both camps together. At any time you can join an open yoga class and find your inner balance on your mat with a view of the sea.
