Ich war Student der Politikwissenschaften und angehender Journalist, trug jeden Tag meinen Anzug und las die neuesten politischen Nachrichten in der Zeitung.
Ich fuhr mit meiner Familie in den Urlaub nach Fuerteventura und surfte zufällig meine erste Welle. In diesem Moment wurde mir klar, dass etwas Großes mit mir geschehen würde.
Im Laufe meines Lebens hörte ich nie auf, zum Surfen zu reisen, und ich entdeckte eine weitere Leidenschaft, die mich noch mehr mit dem Meer verband: das Freitauchen.
Während meiner beruflichen Laufbahn in einem Decathlon-Geschäft in Italien kam ich im Urlaub nach Teneriffa. Ich schloss mich einem Surfcamp an und erlebte Gefühle, die ich nie zuvor empfunden hatte. Die Verbindung, die das Surfen zwischen den Menschen schafft, ist unglaublich. Ich habe mich so sehr in die Insel verliebt, dass mir bei meiner Rückkehr nach Hause klar wurde, dass mir etwas fehlte.
An meinem ersten Arbeitstag flüchtete ich buchstäblich nach der Hälfte meiner Schicht aus dem Laden und fuhr los, bis mich eine rote Ampel aufhielt. Ich merkte, dass mein ganzer Körper steif war und dass ich nicht wusste, wohin ich fuhr.
Ich fragte mich, was los war, und konnte keine Antwort finden. Dann fragte ich mich, wo ich sein wollte, und die Antwort war klar: im Wasser. Zwei Wochen später beschloss ich, mein ganzes Leben an den Nagel zu hängen und nach Teneriffa zurückzukehren, um als Surflehrer zu arbeiten.
Eineinhalb Jahre später beschloss ich, mein eigenes Projekt zu starten: Surf Life Tenerife.
Das Surfen hat mich zu einem glücklichen Menschen gemacht, und meine Aufgabe ist es, andere Menschen glücklich zu machen, indem ich ihnen etwas beibringe, das ihr Leben für immer verändern wird, so wie es meines verändert hat.

“ 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! „
