Surfing Waves

Hi everybody! New to the forum so first post and i'm already asking for help

I'm going on holiday to either Gran Canaria or Lanzarote in October (whichever the cheapest deal is 2 days before we go!) Can anyone recommend surf schools in either area & best resort to stay in? I've only been surfing a few times so i intend taking some lessons to help me improve.

Also in October which wetsuit would i be better taking with me 3mm short or 3mm long don't feel the cold too much so wondering if i could get away with taking the shortie.

Any help muchly appreciated!

Hey Chaotic!

I too am planning on going to the Canary Islands in October. Unfortunately for me I've picked a week that coincides with the Scottish school holidays so the prices are going to be a bit more than I was hoping.

I went to Lanzarote in september last year, there were loads of surf schools in the north of the island at Famara beach.

I used this website in planning the holiday

I can't help you with which a recomendation for shcools.

We stayed in the touristy place, Puerto Del Carmen, and hired a 4x4 to go to the breaks. This way we could get drink of cheap booze at night and dance in cheesy discos.

I'm not planning on taking a wetsuit, the water should be about 22 degrees. If you want to be safe take a shortie. If you are going to a school I think they supply suits.

Hope this helps!
Enjoy

Thanks for the info! Think i'll take the shortie incase i need at least it won't take up much room in my bag!

Enjoy your trip in october!
