Add a new experience to your vacation in Gran Canaria by paddling along the coast and getting to know the island from the sea.

What is surfski?
- The surfski is a very lightweight canoe made to sail in open waters, taking advantage of the waves and the wind. It is controlled by pedals that steer the ruddler, allowing you to easily go in one direction or another.
- There are different models, from the widest and more stables to competition ones: which are narrow but very fast.
- The ideal session for those who love this sport is a ‘downwind’: going with the wind and the waves from one point to another and sliding down the waves as fast as possible.
What is the session about?
On the sand
In the sea
For whom is the activity intended?
Our Surfski Experience is suitable for everyone, the only requirements are knowing how to swim and being over 10 years old. It is not necessary that you have practiced canoeing before, as before going out on the water we will give you a theoretical and practical session so that you know how to handle the boat by yourself.

What you need to know
What clothing should I wear?
- The average annual ambiance temperature is 21º.
- There is usually a lot of sun and you should use SPF 50 sunscreen.
- It is ideal to come with a technical shirt or lycra that can get wet. This way you will avoid chafing with the life jacket and protect yourself from the sun. For the bottom, it is best to wear swimsuit or board shorts, leggings or lycras so that the friction of the canoe does not bother you.
Can children participate?
Of course! The only requirement is that they are over 10 years old and can swim. We have life jackets and paddles for the little ones in the family
Where does the session take place?
Our facilities are located in the capital of the island, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Las Alcaravaneras Beach is ideal for this activity as it is sheltered by the port. You will have an unique view of the city!
Any doubt?
