Ero uno studente di Scienze Politiche e un giornalista alle prime armi, ogni giorno indossavo la tuta e leggevo le ultime notizie politiche sul giornale.
Sono andato a Fuerteventura per una vacanza con la famiglia e casualmente ho surfato la mia prima onda. In quel momento ho capito che mi stava accadendo qualcosa di grande.
Con l’evolversi della mia vita, non ho mai smesso di viaggiare per fare surf e ho scoperto un’altra passione che mi ha legato ancora di più all’oceano: l’apnea.
Durante la mia carriera lavorativa di alto livello in un negozio Decathlon in Italia, sono venuto a Tenerife in vacanza. Mi sono iscritto a un Surf Camp e ho provato sensazioni mai provate prima. Il legame che il surf crea tra le persone è incredibile. Mi sono innamorata così tanto dell’isola che quando sono tornata a casa mi è stato chiaro che mancava qualcosa.
Il primo giorno di lavoro sono letteralmente scappata dal negozio a metà del mio turno di lavoro e ho iniziato a guidare finché un semaforo rosso non mi ha fermata. Mi resi conto che tutto il mio corpo era rigido e che non sapevo dove stavo andando.
Mi sono chiesta cosa c’era che non andava e non ho trovato la risposta. Poi mi sono chiesto dove avrei voluto essere e la risposta è stata chiara: in acqua. Due settimane dopo ho deciso di abbandonare la mia vita e di tornare a Tenerife per iniziare a lavorare come istruttore di surf.
1 anno e mezzo dopo, ho deciso di avviare il mio progetto: Surf Life Tenerife.
Il surf mi ha reso una persona felice e il mio lavoro è rendere felici altre persone insegnando loro qualcosa che cambierà la loro vita per sempre, come ha cambiato la mia.

” My time at Surf Life Tenerife was awesome! I went twice: first for group lessons. The instructors explained everything well on the beach and helped each of us feel safe while surfing. They were really nice and professional, which made learning fun. During my second trip to Tenerife, I had private lessons in this school. A big thanks to Marta for being an amazing teacher and giving me lots of encouragement 💙💛. I learned so much in just four days! I really suggest this school to anyone who wants to get better at surfing or who wants to start. P.s. And if there are no waves, you can always book paragliding 😁 “
” Very heartwarming team who queers you up on your improvements. They actually watch everyone and give specific individual advice to improve your surfing. Highly recommended! “

” This is the place to start and improve your skills in surfing!! Instructors are amazing, they are so funny and motivating. They give a lot of good tips to surf not only on their lessons but for later to do it on your own. I have surfed before with different schools and have never felt so welcomed. I have done group lessons and private ones with my friend 24 and my 12 years old sister. For group lessons it was good that guys have a secret spot and there are not that many people in the water so you feel comfortable. For private lessons it’s so cool that each of us was on completely different level they managed to handle this and taught individually everyone. And my little sister is so inpatient but even she has started to love surfing 🏄🏽♀️ ☺️ So I recommend them and I really mean it 😉 “
” We booked a week-long holiday with Surf Life based on the amazing reviews. The hype is SO well deserved! We felt loved and supported throughout the whole experience. We met the friendliest, most enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructors and staff, all the admin and communication was impeccable, nothing but positive vibes from start to finish. We’ve left Tenerife as better surfers and happier people. We are so grateful to Surf Life for making it happen. We’ll definitely be back with all our pals. “

” Had a fantastic time on a 5 day surf camp with them. The instructors are passionate and knowledgeable about what they teach, giving useful advice tailored to your surfing level. The beach you’re going to be taught at gives plenty of options for waves, suitable for everything from beginners to more advanced surfers. Pick-up from your accommodation + a range of equipment are provided and lesson times follow the tides so you can get the best experience out of your time in the water. Honestly cannot recommend them enough. “
” I did a week of lessons here as an intermediate/“advanced beginner” surfer – I think between the group and private lessons I worked with every instructor they had. I was extremely impressed with the entire team – from communication before arrival to the actual lessons and ability to modify the class on the fly to more advanced or easier as the conditioned warranted. I wouldn’t hesitate to return. “
” I recently embarked on a solo trip to Tenerife and decided to try surfing for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised by the organization of the entire experience. From the very cozy hostel accommodation to transfers and surfing lessons, everything was meticulously planned and punctual. The surf lessons catered to all levels so whether you’re a newbie like me or more seasoned pro, you’re in very good hands! Not only the coaches were highly professional, but they were also incredibly friendly and supportive. Their energy is definitely contagious! Each class included a thorough warm-up, theory and safety instructions, in water practice, and, most importantly, a whole lot of fun and good vibes in a safe environment. Overall, my experience was nothing short of fantastic. I would highly recommend Surf Life Tenerife!! Thanks a lot to the entire team! “
