Surfski courses/training Gran Canaria

After many years looking for a great place to arrange Aterra surfski courses abroad we have now found the place. We plan to have the courses 23-27 feb and 1-5 march.  Beginning of next week (latest tuesday) you can find all information you need about the courses here: surfskicourse. You will find information in swedish and english. Interested? contact: info@aterra.se

We can offer two fantastic surfski tracks. The first track is 22 km that can be split up in a 8, 15, 17 km. This is the track they use most, with easy transportation and easy access to all finish places. It works in N and NE winds. NE is the most common wind here. Further south we can go for a 32 km downwind, this session will give you a bit more wind in the back. Also here you have several other options for a shorter session.

We also have the marina which is flat water where we can practice technique on a 1km track, and have flat water sessions. Outside the marina, still protected a bit from the ocean harbor you can have sessions for beginners in smaller waves for stability training. Outside the piers the waves get higher and higher the further out you go, after 2-3 km you can start a downwind. When it’s less wind and you want to play in waves there is a pier to play along with constant swell, the waves here are high and fast, a very exciting place to be in.

Temperature is normally around 22 degrees, and the water temp 20.

We have fantastic instructors. Esteban Ojeda is one of the 5 best surfskiers in Europe, he can take out the best elite paddlers for really hard sessions. Antonio (owner of the company) which has fantastic knowledge of how to use the waves. Sara is another fantastic surfski instructor. In all we can offer six instructors for bigger groups. All of them elite surfskiers with many, many hours in big water.

We can offer participants everything from beginner skis to advanced elite skis. We offer a big fleet that can satisfy everyone.
