Franito Surf School

Franito Surf School is a surf school located on the Canary Island of Lanzarote that was created in 2001 by Francisco Saenz "Franito", a Canarian surfer of high international recognition, remaining at the early age 15, 9th in the world and 3-time champion of the Canary Islands.

In our school we work with the youngest in initiation, improvement and high performance without leaving aside specialized courses for all ages and women. Franito Surf School is an official center of the Canarian Surf Federation and has all the official certificates and requirements so that you can start and perfect your surfing safely.

Franito brings all his experience in the numerous high performance camps and training sessions he attended throughout the world (Australia, Morocco, France, the Peninsula and Lanzarote) with professional surfers including several world champions such as Dany Wills, Mick Campbell or Tom Carrol.

At Franito Surf School we have several levels:

• Initiation: Initiation classes are taught in Famara, an ideal beach to learn due to its sandy bottom and the softness of its waves

• Improvement: These classes take place in Famara, Santa or Caleta de Caballo depending on the quality of the waves.

• High performance training: Surf classes combined with gymnastics boards and specific training developed to quickly obtain and improve your physical potential on the board and the waves.

• Surfing Competition: We offer you the opportunity to carry out personalized programs and groups of competitors who wish to improve their results through specific training for the development and use of surfing in competition.

In addition to this we have two camps, one basic for children, teenagers and adults who want to learn to surf and another for surf teams who want to perfect their knowledge. practical and theoretical in this sport.

In Tinajo, on the island of Lanzarote we locate our surf school, Franito Surf School. Here people of any age can come and practice surfing, and can sign up for individual classes, individual excursions, and courses of different levels, starting with the most basic.

There is no better way to learn to do this adventure sport than with an instructor who, at just 15 years old, was already one of the best surfers in the world, finishing in 9th place. As for the Canary Islands, he has been a 3-time champion in national surfing competitions. Francisco Saenz is his name and his nickname Franito, hence the name of the school.

Our surf campsare located on Famara beach or in La Santa. Ideal places to carry out this activity whatever the date, since they have a warm climate, but with a perfect sea breeze to begin to feel the emotions that are felt when being among the waves. Our camps for children, from 6 to 17 years old, take place at Christmas, Easter, Carnivals and summer.

In these we combine learning or improving surfing, depending on the level of each participant, with other exciting outdoor activities, both in the sea and in the water.

In addition to surfing they will learn other sports, such as:
