Coaching
You can be coached to the level of your bodyboarding ability, we cater for novice to competing ripper, using a ratio of no more than ten pupils to each coach with a top level range of coaches and often much smaller ratio's. We surf, eat and hang out with you, making sure your stay is safe. You'll improve your bodyboarding skills, make lifelong friends and have plenty of fun. With such pleasant conditions out there, warm water and good weather, what else would you want to do in March?!

Bodyboarding Spots
We'll go to where the waves are best each day depending on tide, wind and swell. Nearby are the inside left and La Santa Right, the outside Right, Complex Left (just in front of the sports complex), Ghost town rights, Chicken lefts, Famara, Pump House and the awesome reefs of the Slab, El Quamao and San Juan. There are also a series of secret spots on the east coast which we will be checking. When it's on, there are hands down, no better waves in the world than the La Santa stretch of coastline. But there is a great spread of waves for all abilities. Pump House is our favourite for coaching, a sand bottomed left and right wedge which often has a really easy paddle out and no one surfing there. very safe and something for all standards of rider.

Flights
You need to book your own flight. We use Lee at dial a flight on 02072951556. If you call them just mention 'Rob Barber's Lanzarote trip February'. Feel free to book your flight independently if you choose though and make sure that when you are hunting for the best deal your supplier is ABTA or ATOL bonded. When your flight is booked (the earlier the better!), I need you to fill in the form at the bottom of the page and return to me.

The day that you travel
On the day that you travel please keep your mobile phone on (except when flying of course) so that we can stay in touch in case of delays, changes etc. If you could drop me a text (07974729639) from the airport to say that you are on time/delayed/early, that would be a great help. Rob or one of the other coaches will meet you at the airport. We'll be stood just outside the sliding doors that you go through after collecting your luggage (due to delays etc there is a very slim chance that we may be five minutes away, please wait within the terminal at the large statue of lava rock that is facing you as you walk through the sliding doors from the baggage reclaim area). From there we will head back to Casa Penelope to chill out and get your bearings. Each day from then on will take the form of an all day surfari. Cruising to the break that has the best conditions each day, and bodyboarding as much or as little as you like! After each day we'll check out the video footage from the sessions. At the end of the week you'll return to the airport in good time to catch your flight home.

Breakfast (Supplied each day by our hosts as part of the package): A choice of cereals, fruit juice, yogurt, toast and Jams etc and cooked eggs of choice with unlimited tea and fresh brew coffee.

Lunch: As we'll be on the road most days over lunch time we will eat at either a local cafe or tapas bar. There are local supermarkets where we can also buy sandwhiches or snacks/fruit etc for your room fridges etc.

Evening Meal: Two home cooked evening meals are supplied by our hosts. An awesome bar b q on the roof terrace, plus another home cooked meal on another evening. Among other other options there is a very well priced local Italian restaurant (1 minute away) which has excellent food with big portions. Some of Casa Penelope's guests go there every night of their holiday so it sells itself with a great atmosphere and free pouring drinks etc. As a price guide, a starter of Canarian Potatoe's or something italian off the menu is anything from 3 to 6 Euro's. For the carpaccio, main courses for steaks chicken dishes etc 7 Euro's upwards, pizza 4 Euro's upwards to 6 Euro's.
