Whether you are starting from zero or choosing the right next step, we offer different lesson formats to match your level, your confidence and the kind of experience you want.

Our team combines premium service, local knowledge, official IKO progression and a safety-first teaching system refined through years of real operation in the south of Gran Canaria.

IKO Progression Method

Every kitesurf lesson follows the ProSurfing Method and an IKO-based progression structure designed to help students understand where they are, what comes next and how to progress more safely. It combines theory, safety systems, practical control, local spot selection and clear decision-making according to wind, tide and the student’s real level.

Why Learn Kitesurf in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria offers a strong mix of wind, weather, ocean access and operational flexibility for guests who want to start or improve in kitesurfing. For travellers staying in the south of the island, learning with a local IKO-based school makes the experience clearer, safer and much easier to organise from the beginning.

Schedule, Safety & Conditions

We keep the kitesurf experience flexible and honest from the moment you book. Lesson timing, spot choice and the exact progression step depend on wind direction, wind strength, tides, sea conditions and the student’s real level.

  • Exact lesson time is confirmed according to daily conditions
  • Most sessions take place when wind and spot conditions are suitable
  • The final location is selected daily according to the safest and most effective conditions
  • Group and semi-private students may share a kite as part of a deliberate safety and teaching structure
  • The goal is not to rush progression, but to build control, confidence and safe next steps

Lessons Format

Private Lessons

If you are booking alone, the best option is usually a Private Lesson, with one-to-one coaching to get the fastest progression and tailored feedback.

Semi Private Lessons

For two people, the best option is usually Semi-Private, where you share the kite with one other student and progress with close instructor support.

Group Lessons

Group lessons are more economical, but they are subject to availability (at least 3 students) and require more time because students share the kite.

Wind-Based Schedule & Meeting Point

Kitesurf lessons depend on the daily wind conditions. For safety reasons, the exact lesson time, meeting point and kite spot are confirmed after booking, according to the wind forecast and sea conditions.

Sessions usually start from: 10:30 am onwards.

Best wind window: usually from late morning, depending on the daily forecast

Final confirmation: by WhatsApp, usually the day before or on the same day of the lesson.

Our kitesurf lessons are based on the official IKO progression and delivered with Pro Surfing Company’s local experience and operational quality.

Level Options

Discovery / Refresh Session

A short introductory or refresh session for beginners, returning students, or riders who want to review skills and safety before moving forward.

Nuestra experiencia con Prosurfing School Maspalomas en Gran Canaria fue simplemente maravillosa. Desde el primer momento, Paul nos transmitió cercanía, profesionalidad y una energía muy positiva. Se nota cuando alguien ama lo que hace, y él lo demuestra en cada detalle. Gracias a él pudimos vivir un día de surf que llevábamos mucho tiempo esperando. Tuvo un gesto precioso al permitirnos llevar dos tablas por el precio de una, para adaptarnos a cómo iban cambiando las olas. Ese nivel de atención y flexibilidad marca la diferencia. Además, todo el equipo fue encantador, siempre atento y con una sonrisa. El primer día no hubo condiciones para surfear, pero al día siguiente Paul compensó la situación regalando la tabla y algunos pequeños detalles que nos hicieron sentir aún más cuidados. Fue un gesto que valoramos muchísimo. Sin duda, cada vez que volvamos a Gran Canaria repetiremos con él — no solo por el surf, sino por el ambiente, las conversaciones y esa sensación de estar entre amigos. Muy recomendable.

I had an amazing experience with Prosurfing School Maspalomas in Gran Canaria, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough. A special mention goes to Paul, who was incredibly kind from the very first moment. He gave us a surf day we had been dreaming about for a long time. His attitude was not just professional, but genuinely warm and welcoming — you immediately feel like part of a small surf family. He was so helpful that he let us take two boards for the price of one, so we could switch depending on how the waves evolved during the session. That level of flexibility and understanding is rare. The entire team was extremely polite and friendly, creating a relaxed and familiar atmosphere. On the first day, unfortunately, there were no waves and I couldn’t surf. The next day, Paul gave me a board for free, offered me some surf gadgets as a gift, and made sure I could fully enjoy the experience. That kind of generosity is something you don’t forget. Every time I come back to Gran Canaria, I will rent my board from him — not only to surf, but also to spend time chatting, laughing, and enjoying the true spirit of surf culture. Highly recommended

This was honestly the most perfect first surfing experience I could have imagined. It was my very first time on a surfboard, and I’m incredibly grateful that I got to experience it with this amazing surf school. My instructor, Dani, was absolutely fantastic. He guided me step by step with so much patience, calmness, and encouragement. He explained everything clearly and made me feel safe and confident in the water. Thanks to him, I managed to stand up on the board several times during my very first lesson! He didn’t just teach me how to surf, he gave me an unforgettable experience and sparked what I think is a lifelong love (and maybe a slight addiction 😄) to surfing. He was so amazing that we’re actually driving back from the north to the south across the whole island just to surf with him again! And every time we come back to Gran Canaria, we will definitely book our lesson with him. I truly can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for such an incredible experience!
