JMC Escuela de Surf en Lanzarote
JMC Escuela de Surf en Lanzarote is the school that José María Cabrera, a professional surfer born in Caleta de Famara, founded in 2012 on the north coast of Lanzarote. Its method focuses on correcting posture and understanding each manoeuvre. It offers beginner lessons for all ages on the beach at Caleta de Famara, intermediate and technique courses, junior surf coaching, clinics and surf trips.
José María Cabrera was born in Caleta de Famara in 1980 and competed as a professional surfer, reaching 29th place in the world ranking after his result at Margaret River in 2008. In 2012 he founded JMC Surf Training on the north coast of Lanzarote with co-founder Virginia Rodríguez; Manuel Lezcano heads the beginners' programme. The school's method is about correcting posture and knowing which movement each manoeuvre needs, from the simplest to the most demanding, and why.
Beginner lessons are open to all ages, run all year round on the beach at Caleta de Famara and last 2 hours, with a soft-top board and wetsuit provided. The school says its instructors do not catch more waves than their students and that each group has as many instructors as its size requires. Surfers who can already stand up can choose intermediate and technique courses, junior surf coaching, VIP surf training, clinics and surf trips.
