4.9 (5)Las Americas


Ika Ika Surf School is a surf-lesson provider in Playa de Las Américas, close enough to the water that beginners do not waste energy walking before class. Learners praise instructors such as Jean, Nigel, Julio and others for patience, passion and useful one-to-one feedback after each wave.
It is a good fit for first lessons, parent-child sessions and repeat winter training. Confirm group size, instructor language, level, equipment, shower/changing access, sea conditions and cancellation terms before booking.

The best surf school ever!!🤩 It's definitely in the best spot to reach the ocean without having to walk much. Very pretty and has a room to shower change and practice too! 🏄🏻♀️ The guys are all super nice and welcoming 🫶🏼 My instructor Jean got me popping up in just two lessons. By the third, I was already riding the wave all the way to the end 🥹🌊

My daughter and I had a fantastic time with our first surfing lesson. It’s a lot of work, it looks so easy in videos. Nigel was our instructor, who was fantastic. He has 30+ years experience surfing. Highly recommended for learning to surf in Tenerife!

After trying out multiple not-so-good surfing schools, I had a great experience at this particular school. It really matters how the instructor is. We were 3-4 people per class and the instructor gave 1:1 feedback after each wave. Experienced my first successful wave. Very grateful! Totally recommend!!

Instructor Julio - can’t recommend him enough. A total Master of surfing. Not only he’s super patient, but also extremely passionate about teaching and helping you. Had the best time learning from him. The whole surf school and its staff were amazing. Thank you all for the best surfing experience ever!

I truly believe Julio is one of the best coaches in this school. I’ve been training with him every winter for three years now, and I wouldn’t choose anyone else ✌🏻
