Complimenti a Daniel e alla scuola, ci ha trasmesso le basi del surf in pochi minuti. Siamo riusciti a prendere qualche onda anche se piccola. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo.Posted on Alessia MiliaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lezione di Surf molto divertente, nonostante fosse la prima volta è andata abbastanza bene ! Grazie Daniel per i tuoi consigli, ci hai fatto vivere una splendida esperienza.Posted on Paul ZollmannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience, very friendly and professional surf instructors. I can recommend to everyone who wants to learn surfing or already has experience - 5/5 stars!Posted on DerJentzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir hatten ganz viel Spaß bei unserem Anfängerkurs. Daniel hat uns erst in aller Ruhe alles erklärt, war witzig und hat für eine angenehme Atmosphäre gesorgt. Im Wasser hat er sich immer um unsere Sicherheit gekümmert, uns motiviert und Anspannung genommen. Wir hatten auch ein bisschen Glück, es war perfekte Wellen für Anfänger. Trotzdem war es sehr anstrengend, Muskelkater ist nicht ausgeschlossen, vielleicht auch der ein oder andere kleine blaue Fleck. Aber definitiv ein großer Spaß, wenn man erst ein oder zweimal auf dem Brett gestanden hat oder noch totaler Anfänger ist.Posted on Andrea LucibelloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fue una experiencia maravillosa. Daniel es un gran instructor y, gracias a sus consejos, pude surfear por primera vez!Posted on chantal ballmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich war bereits das zweite Mal dort und würde immer wieder zu Dani in die Surf Classes zurückgehen - ein wunderbarer Coach, der eine super Stimmung schafft, auch einem Beginner sofort Erfolgserlebnisse ermöglicht und bei dem man sich einfach wohl und am richtig Platz fühlt! Danke Dani!! :)) Auf bald - ich werde noch dieses Jahr wiederkommen! :)Posted on Christina MoreauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Der Surfkurs war richtig richtig toll. Ich wollte schon seit 20 Jahren das Wellenreiten ausprobieren und meine Tochter (13 Jahre) hatte auch Lust es auszuprobieren. Also haben wir den 2,5 Stunden Kurs zum Ausprobieren gebucht. Wir haben uns am Strand von Playa des Ingles getroffen, da hier der Wind besser war. Daniel hat uns erklärt, worauf es beim Wellenreiten ankommt und dann ging es nach ein paar Aufwärm-Übungen gleich ins Wasser. Daniel hat dann die passenden Wellen ausgesucht und uns Anschwung gegeben und wir durften dann versuchen aufzustehen. Bei meiner Tochter hat es richtig gut geklappt und sie hat dann sogar schon etwas größere Welle mitnehmen können. Eine andere Teilnehmerin konnte schon gut aufstehen und hat dann die größeren Wellen mitnehmen können und selber in die Welle reinpaddeln können. Daniel hat da echt super je nach Können reagiert. Bei mir hat es erst nicht so gut geklappt, aber die letzte Welle habe ich dann auch geschafft mich hinzustellen. Es war so toll. Wir sind leider am nächsten Tag schon abgereist, ansonsten hätte ich gerne noch einen weiteren Kurs gebucht. Wobei ich auch echt 2 Tage richtig dollen Muskelkater in den Armen und Schultern hatte 😅 Vielen Dank liebe Southcoast Surfschool, vielen Dank lieber Daniel für dieses tolle Erlebnis!Posted on Pavel SehnalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel is Super teacher. Eight people in group and all of us were able to be on the board at the end of the lesson.

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
