Base Surf Camp
Who they are
Base Surf Camp is an A Coruña surf school with more than fifteen years of experience, according to its website. It has its premises in the centre, at Calle Don Bosco, 3, in front of the surfers' fountain at the Orzán, and gives lessons all year. As well as single lessons and passes, it organises children's lessons, monthly passes and summer camps.
How they work
Group lessons last an hour and a half and have five pupils per instructor at most. The beach is chosen according to each day's sea: the Orzán, in the city itself, when it is working well, and if not Bastiagueiro, in Oleiros, or other beaches less than 35 km away, such as Sabón or Caión, 30 to 45 minutes by car. For group lessons the school gives transport options from A Coruña; the monthly passes do not include it. You arrive with your wetsuit already on, and there are five minutes' grace.
What is included and how much it costs
The group lesson costs €35 per person with equipment: board and wetsuit, 5/3 mm in winter. With passes the price per lesson drops: €65 for two lessons, €90 for three and €130 for five. A private lesson, one person with their instructor, costs €60, and each additional person, €35. There are monthly passes of one or two lessons a week, from €90 to €165. The minimum age is 6; you must be able to swim and minors must bring a signed authorisation. Between 21 December and 3 January the school is on holiday.
