Tico's is a family-run business with more than 17 years of experience and a lot of passion for what we do. We care a lot about your safety, so all of your instructors are also certified lifeguards. Book your surf lessons with us, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced; we guarantee fun and safety at all levels – and all ages. We love teaching families and young kids as much as adults and friend groups.
We offer private, semi-private and group lessons for different prices. If you come alone and would like to participate in a group lesson, we can try to match you with fellow solo travelers.
After your lesson, you will be able to lend a surfboard to practice on your own for free and you are always welcome to come back should you have any questions about surfing or the area. We are also happy to provide you with tips for any other tours in and around Sámara.

Cancellation Policy

What To Expect
All your classes last 1 hour to 90 minutes depending on conditions and customer, and you will be able to practice on your own with your board afterwards or later! All lessons begin with a briefing (according to the student's level) on position, safety, and surfboard handling. The instructor then selects the board, and once ready, the adventure of the surfing lesson in the ocean begins. We are also happy to provide you with high class pictures of your experience. Due to changing tides, weather, and conditions, we do not follow a fixed schedule at Tico’s Surf School, but instead offer individual appointments. Please note that this ticket serves only to ensure your booking and get in touch with us a few days prior to your booking to find the perfect time slot depending on tide and experience level. We cannot guarantee a surf lesson if you simply show up with a ticket!
What‘s Included
Free surfboard rental after your surf lesson to keep practicing
We provide you with rashguards to protect you from the sun
You can use our lockers to keep your belongings safe and dry during your lesson.
Feel free to use our refreshing shower right on the beach after your surf

5.00A great surf school with professional and sensitive teachers. I had a very special experience: Xavier, Lisa and Daniel listened to my very own personal story about why I really want to get on the surfboard. And they took me seriously and gave me the best surfing experience imaginable. Xavier was in the water with me and explained everything to me very humorously and professionally. Lisa even took extra photos and videos so I could capture the special experience. It was a successful day all around. Great team. Absolutely top class!
Great surfing lesson!

5.00Best surf school!! We have surfed with them three times now and each time is amazing! They really help you get the skills to be able to do it on your own. And they have lots of tips and tricks to help even the nervous surfers ride the waves! We had one surfer with us that was having trouble and our instructor worked to help them, by the end they were surfing like a little pro. Would highly recommend! Our instructor, Javier, was amazing! Each instructor we have had really gets to know you and help make it a fun and relaxing, confidence-building experience.
