Grove Surf Club (Surf & Paddle Surf - A Lanzada)

O Grove (Galicia, Spain) is an excellent place to learn how to surf and book lessons during your vacation. The most well-known and premier surf school directly in the area is the Grove Surf Club. Here are the most important details:

About the Surf School & the Spot

• The Location: Founded in 2012, the school is located directly on the famous Playa de A Lanzada (Praia da Lanzada). This is a beautiful, nearly 3-kilometer-long white sand beach that connects the O Grove peninsula to the mainland.

• Perfect for Beginners: Because the beach has a sandy bottom and the waves break very consistently, A Lanzada is considered one of the best beaches in all of Galicia to learn to surf. There are no dangerous rocks in the beginner area.

• Philosophy: In addition to athletic success, the school places great emphasis on community, respect, and a mindful connection with nature and the ocean.

Booking Beginner Courses for Your Vacation

The courses are specifically designed to offer flexible booking options while you are on holiday.

• For All Ages: Groups are kept age-appropriate and homogeneous, ensuring that both children and adults can learn at their own pace.

• All-Inclusive Package: When you book a course, all equipment is included in the price (high-quality wetsuits and high-buoyancy soft-top surfboards specifically designed for beginners). The instructors are professionally trained and certified.

• Additional Activities: Alongside classic surfing, the club offers Paddle Surfing (SUP) and guided tours—perfect for days when the sea is completely calm. For windier days, there are also kitesurfing schools in the region (e.g., at Mexilloeira beach).

Tip for Vacation Planning: Since Galicia is a popular destination for independent travelers and nature lovers, it is highly recommended to reserve your beginner course in advance online or by phone, especially for the summer months (July/August), to secure a spot in a suitable group.
