The surf school closest to Cudillero is on Aguilar beach, in Muros de Nalón, about 8 km and 13 minutes by car to the east. Carving Surf School has its base there, in Campofrío, at the edge of the sand, and a hostel in San Esteban, at the mouth of the Nalón.
A school at the edge of the sand at Aguilar
The school is on the beach itself: you arrive by car, change there and walk down with the board, and when you finish you have a shower without going back to your accommodation. From the L'Amuravela campsite, in El Pito, the beach is about 2.5 km away.
Two hours in the water, with the kit on
Each course day is two hours of class. The same level group takes in everyone from those who have never picked up a board to those who already stand up and want to correct their technique; for the latter there is also an individual technical-improvement session. The instructors hold the Spanish Surfing Federation qualification.
The lesson includes the board, wetsuit and the rest of the equipment, insurance and use of the school's showers and toilets. If you want more, you can hire equipment for the rest of the day and keep practising on your own. The website does not publish the minimum age or whether you need to be able to swim: ask when you book, especially if you come with children.
What each format costs
- Trial lesson, a two-hour day: €35.
- Weekend, four hours over two days: €60.
- Multi-day passes, two hours a day: three days, €75; four, €100; five, €120; seven, €165.
- Individual one-hour lesson: €80. The two-hour technical-improvement session, also individual, costs the same.
Lessons are bought in the shop on their website or by phone: office, 984 190 257; also 649 841 208 and 658 941 351. The website gives no season calendar or fixed times: agree the day and time when you book.
Before or after the wave
The same school gives paddle surf courses, and if you prefer water without waves there is paddle surfing on the Nalón estuary, at San Esteban. For lunch afterwards, go back to Cudillero harbour: El Remo is on the square. If you want to combine the sea with a walk along the cliffs, the plan Sunday in Cudillero passes along the neighbouring coast.
Tips
- The weekend works better than the trial For €25 more than the single lesson you get double the hours, and on the second day you already know what to correct.
- Keep the board for the afternoon After the lesson you can hire equipment and practise what you learned with that day's sea.
- Bring what you need afterwards Towel and dry clothes: the school provides the wetsuit and board, but not what you need afterwards.
