From a very young age, I have been deeply connected to the sea. Its power, beauty, and endless energy fascinated me and led me to discover surfing—a sport that would become not only my greatest passion, but also a way of life that has shaped who I am today.
After more than 35 years of surfing, I’ve learned that the most important lesson the ocean teaches is respect—for people, for the sea, and for Mother Nature. This belief is the foundation of South Coast Surf School, where we aim to pass on essential values such as honesty, humility, empathy, and patience through every surf lesson.
As my best friend always says, “Water is Life.” When we spend time away from the sea, something feels missing. We need the salt on our skin, the feeling of pure happiness after riding a wave, and those unforgettable conversations shared with friends in the water that make every moment in the ocean so special.
Having surfed in different countries, experienced diverse cultures, and met people from all over the world has allowed me to understand and convey the true essence of surfing—enjoying the sea beyond borders, regardless of where you come from. This philosophy is at the heart of our surf lessons on the south coast of Gran Canaria, where we share not only technique, but also a deep respect and love for the ocean
