Intermediate surf lessons in Sopelana

You’ve been surfing for a while and you’re riding waves to your feet, but your surfing feels stuck. Peña Txuri Surf Eskola’s intermediate classes in Sopelana are designed for surfers who have the pop-up dialled and want to sharpen their trim, learn basic manoeuvres and improve their ocean reading. We use video analysis and targeted drills for fast, visible progress.

The intermediate level is where professional feedback makes the biggest difference. Our instructors film your waves and give you personalised corrections in the Cantabrian Sea.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I’m intermediate or beginner level?

You’re intermediate if you catch green waves standing up, can do a gentle turn but still struggle to generate speed consistently or execute controlled manoeuvres. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll advise you with no commitment.

Is video analysis used in intermediate surf lessons?

Yes. Video analysis is a core part of Peña Txuri’s method for intermediate surfers. Watching your own stance and mistakes on screen speeds up technical correction far more than verbal instruction alone.

How long does it take to go from intermediate to advanced level?

It depends on how often you practise. With consistent training (2–3 sessions per week in summer) most intermediate surfers see significant improvement within 1–2 seasons.
