Company Overview
Big Wave is not just a surf school, it is a true Surf School where Surfcamps are also held. Open all year round and located on Palmar beach in Cádiz, they guarantee that there are always waves.
Once you have decided to get on the board you will have to think about what type of board. Surfing is not the same as paddle surfing. In this school you can try both modalities and stay with the one you like the most. Have you tried surfcamps?
- Surf classes. It requires patience and practice, something that you will acquire little by little with the classes that they offer you.
- Paddle surf. An unconventional and very fun variety of surfing. If you want to get on the board and watch a sunset in a relaxed manner, this is your option. With the board they will give you a paddle so you can move through the water.
- Surfcamp. Some highly demanded camps where you will experience an immersion in the world of surfing. You will be able to rub shoulders with real surfers and learn from their technique and rules.
- Bicycle rental. If after classes you want to move around El Palmar or pedal along the promenade, you can now rent bicycles. Another option is mountain biking.
Summary Paddle Boarding
In El Palmar, in Cádiz you can find an authentic surfing and paddle surfing school, it is called Big Wave Surf School. They will try to transmit to you the values of surfing and the sea in each class.
Paddle surfing, or also known as SUP, is a curious sport. It comes from the Polynesian islands and combines surfing with the discipline of rowing. In the past they used a board and a paddle to move from one side of the island to the other, or even to go to nearby islands.
There is no one who can resist paddle surfing, a variety of surfing that consists of maintaining your posture on a board somewhat larger than a surfboard. You will use the paddle to move easily and maintain balance. We do not need waves or wind, thanks to the paddle we can move easily.
At Big Wave they organize classes of one or two hours, or also for days. For children and adults, and people of all levels.
Boards and paddles can be rented so that in addition to classes you can practice without limits.
Don't hesitate to come and enjoy paddle surfing and the sea of Cádiz in El Palmar! Become a full-fledged paddle-surfer!

Review translated from Spanish. Show original
We were in two surf lessons, both with Javi as a monitor. He is a crack, nice and very good teacher. We did not know anything about surfing, but with what he taught us we got to enjoy a lot and feel like surfing on our next vacation. Very, very recommendable.
