В Ocean Freak World Surf Club лучший сервис и нереальный драйв! Вернулась сюда снова и опять в полном восторге. Весной занималась с крутым тренером Джоэлем, а в этот раз нашим инструктором стал Дима Аксёнов — и он просто лучший!
Суперпозитивный профессионал: всё объясняет настолько понятно, что мы с подругой встали на волну с первого же занятия. С ними исчезает любой страх перед океаном, а после тренировок — чистые эндорфины и счастье! Всем горячо рекомендуем!
Кафешка при школе- это отдельная история, вкуснейшие завтраки , блинчики , крафтовые бургеры, лично я обожаю тартар из тунца с бокальчиком холодненького Prosecco с малинкой.

Great coffee and food. Perfect if you go surfing often and want to store your equipment and have food after your session. Not many places with this vibes and menu so we really appreciate it the atmosphere and menu.

Settle in & feel welcome
Arrive around 15 minutes early, meet your instructor and share your experience and goals. Feeling unsure? You can say so.

OCEAN FREAKS WORLD · LAS AMÉRICAS
Your surf school in Las Américas, Tenerife.
Based directly opposite El Medio, the main surf teaching spot in south Tenerife, our school brings the ocean and everything around your session together.
Keep progressing at your own pace.
Ready to surf independently? Hire surf equipment and practise at your own pace. Our team is happy to help with questions and pointers before or after your surf. Rental is for independent practice, without an instructor in the water.
A spacious teaching area, a comfortable lounge and Ocean Freaks Café give you room to prepare and unwind. Friends coming along can enjoy the café while you surf.
When weather and ocean conditions are suitable, you can also learn to ride an eFoil with us.
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Frequently asked questions
Are lessons suitable for my experience level?
Yes — we teach complete beginners as well as surfers building on existing skills. Tell us what you’ve tried and what you want to work on. We’ll adapt the guidance to your experience; private coaching gives you one-to-one attention for specific goals.
Do I need to be able to swim? What if I’m nervous?
You need to be able to keep yourself afloat for a standard lesson. Feeling nervous is normal — let us know before you book so we can discuss your concerns. If you need additional support or an adapted session, please contact our team to discuss a suitable format.
Can children join a surf lesson?
Our standard group lessons are for ages 14 and over. For children aged 6–13, choose a private or family session. Exceptions to the group age guideline may be considered individually, but must be agreed with our team before booking.
What’s included, and what should I bring?
Your lesson includes surf equipment and insurance. Bring swimwear, a towel, drinking water and sun protection. We’ll help you get ready before heading to the ocean.
What languages are the lessons taught in?
English and Spanish are our main teaching languages. We also offer lessons in Russian. Other languages may be available depending on the instructor. If you need a particular language, please confirm with us before booking — the website language does not automatically determine your lesson language.
When should I arrive, and how long is the lesson?
Please arrive around 15 minutes before your session. Group and family sessions last 2 hours; one-to-one private lessons last 2.5 hours. You’re welcome to come earlier and enjoy our café and lounge — including anyone coming along with you.
What happens if ocean conditions aren’t suitable?
If we cancel your lesson because of ocean conditions, you can choose to reschedule or receive a full refund for the cancelled lesson. You don’t have to accept a new date if it doesn’t fit your plans.
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
You can cancel free of charge at least 24 hours before your lesson. For a change of date, contact us as early as possible; requests made closer to the session are considered individually.
For the three-lesson pack, if you stop after your first lesson and give at least 24 hours’ notice before the next booked session, the completed lesson is charged at the single-lesson price of €49. From a €117 pack, the refund is €68.
