LOCATION

MSS has also a Surf / SUP school located adjacent to the Surf Shop . We offer clases to beginners of all ages and also to those who would like to develop their technique in this sport.The school is open from March through to October . During this period the conditions are much safer and user friendly despite the greatfame of this world renown surf spot.
The waves are located only meters away from the surf school in the Urdaibai Biosphere. It is a safe and easy sport for everyone to enjoy.

TEACHERS

Our teachers are qualified instructors from the Basque School of Sport and the Basque Surf Federation (EHSF). They are professionals with more than 30 years of experience and very passionate about this sport. They transmit all their knowledge, teaching the very basics such as getting to your feet, catching the wave, etc. They provide safety and security combined with an unforgettable experience.

SURF CLASS STRUCTURE

All surf classes depart from the surf school (Txorrokopunta) and walk to the close by beach of Laidatxu. There, the instructors begin a warm up and some basic steps to standing up on the surfboard provided. After, everyone paddles on their board across the estuary (approx. 75 mts) to reach the Laida Beach. Instructors will give safety regulations (such as entering and leaving the water, currents and wind/wave conditions).

DAILY CLASS SCHEDULE

Due to the exceptional tidal effects at the river of Mundaka, classes are held as close to low tide as is possible. The hour of the class will vary not only daily (approx. 60 minutes) bat alsoweekly so please consult available time slots.

SURF CLASS EXPERIENCE

Our offer extends from a 1 day “try experience” to our must recommended 5 days cours from Monday to Friday each week. Each class lasts aproximately 2 hours including preparation, crossing the river to Laida, extensive practice in the waves and finally returning to the surf school. Be prepared!

Stand-up paddle

In the school, we have also incorporated the new sport of Stand Up Paddle. Classes are given on the basics of getting to your feet and paddling in the area of Laidatxu (at high tide). This is a safe area, ideal for learning this sport. The access is close to the school, which is very helpful when moving around with big boards. Classes are approximately 1 hour long and the cost with all material included (board, paddle and wetsuit) is 25€. Groups of 6 to 8 people can be arranged.
