Extreme Sports Cafe's Surfing School in Northern Spain

book surfing online in spain with extreme sports cafeExtreme Sports Cafe's surfing school in Northern Spain is fast becoming one of the most popular surf schools in the north of Spain. The area of Spain where we are located, Cantabria, is called The Green Spain and has breathtaking surroundings. It has the perfect setting and conditions for surfing.

Due to the huge interest and demand from the public to get to know the world of surf, Extreme Sports Cafe's surfing school in Spain was born with the philosophy of good teaching and good fun.

Our surf school is run by the second generation of surfers in Spain. They have got the added wisdom of the great Surf pioneers in Spain such as "Meco" , "Lolis", A.Saez, and J.Giribet. They are great masters who even today keep surf at the highest level. They have many years of wisdom and good experience (more than forty years in the Cantabrian Sea!!)

On the picture, from left to right, Juán Giribet, A. Sáez, Meco y Lolis.

The pioneers of surfing had an important part to play in the Ist Exposurfing celebrated in Santander, from 13th to 19th December 2004.

At our surf school you will get:

The art of surf and everything you need to know about the sea conditions, the wind, and the tides, etc.

You will enjoy the process of learning to surf within a relaxing atmosphere with professional surf instructors.

Health and safety: our courses are run by professionals who make sure that our students grasp the art of surf in a safe environment.

The school´s many surf instructors have plenty of experience in surfing and have teaching qualifications recognized by the FES (Spanish Federation of Surf) and the Lifeguard Association.

We will make sure that our students, as well as learning to surf properly, will also get to know everything needed in relation to the fantastic sport of surfing.

We must highlight that we are working closely with "Meco" who not only has a good forty years of experience, but is also a surf legend and one of the pioneers of this sport in Spain.

Our "base camp" is located at "Ribamontan al Mar" which has been home to professionals and apprentices of surf for many years.
