  Javi is honestly the best surf instructor I’ve had so far, and I’ve already tried more than 10 different instructors. He’s very enthusiastic and really motivating, which makes a big difference, especially for beginners.
  In the water, he always chooses the best waves and his … More knowledge of the conditions and waves changing is amazing. Safety is very important to him, he selects sandy areas, and if the waves aren’t good in one spot, he just takes the car and we go somewhere better. I also noticed that when there were more people around us, he moved us further away to a safer area.
  I’ve taken several classes with him and can clearly see my progress. I went from almost never standing up to standing up most of times. What I really appreciate is how hands-on he is in the water. I’m already lying on the board, ready to paddle, and he quickly adjusts and shifts the board and push it at exactly the right moment so I catch the wave in the best possible way. That timing makes a huge difference.
  I also noticed that some instructors from other schools stay on their own boards, which makes it harder for them to help properly. With Javi he is standing with you in the water and you feel guided the whole time.
  Overall, Javi is my favorite surf instructor, and if you’re in Tenerife, you really don’t need to look any further. Because of him I love surfing!

  I had taken two lessons in the Netherlands, but I only could do body-dragging and I honestly had no idea what I was doing. Pretty risky when you’re not taught properly.
  Here, the teacher Samuele really made the difference. He is such a good teacher! Clear, experienced, patient, … More and he actually teaches you the best techniques! Within two hours I finally understood how to control the kite and I felt confident for the first time.
  Today was my first time on the water to waterstart and I was already able to ride for a little bit! So impressed. Samuele puts in the effort and it shows. 🤙
  Can’t wait for tomorrow!!
  Definitely the best kite instructor/company 🌊🪁

  I had my first surfing lessons here and if I were looking for a school or a place to rent equipment again, I would choose this one without
  hesitation. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the instructor who loves surfing is truly dedicated to teaching. He takes the time … More to explain the basics and
  point out what to watch for, both
  before and during your surfing
  session. Overall, this school has a unique and friendly atmosphere, and I highly recommend it.

  Took my very first surfing lesson there and came back for two more. It was great, the instructor Lara was very patient, explained all the fundamentals very well and provided valuable and detailed feedback after every attempt, successful or otherwise, helped me spot good waves … More and as a result I was able to progress from getting pushed to riding a few waves all by myself which felt great.
  The staff at the shop are very friendly and helpful too, from booking the lessons to picking the right equipment. Highly recommended.

  We had an incredible time surfing here! Fede, our instructor, was absolutely brilliant. He gave us an amazing start with tons of helpful tips and made the whole experience so enjoyable with his friendly and encouraging attitude. After just a few lessons with him, we were confident … More enough to surf on our own!
  Everyone at the shop was so welcoming and helpful—they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They were all so friendly that we found ourselves wanting to stick around and hang out with them all day. Highly recommend this place for an unforgettable surfing experience!

Tony, the instructor, was patient and professional, supporting and motivating me throughout … More the training. The school provided excellent equipment, as well as valuable advice on safety and technique. Thanks to this course, I felt more confident on the waves and fell even more in love with surfing. Many thanks for an unforgettable experience!
