Surf school Tenerife: catch your first wave in Las Américas

Our surf coaches in Tenerife

At Ocean Freaks World, our instructors are one of the main reasons why people come to our surf school in Tenerife with complete confidence. Andrés, Daniel, Juri, Deme, Dimitrii, and Mari are not here to teach you the same cookie-cutter approach. They are all here to share their own experience gained in the ocean over the years. Years of surfing. Years of practice. Years of learning what to do to help you progress and what to avoid so it never feels confusing.

Our way of teaching surfing in Tenerife has been based on our own experience in the ocean since 2008. Not on theory. Like any other surfer in the world, we learned to surf by trial and error. By repetition. By improvement. By making mistakes. Those years have given us more than just the skills to ride a board. They have given us a clear insight into how people learn best – where they get confused, how to make it all feel safe and natural. That is why our surf lessons in Tenerife feel so personal. So relaxed. But also so professional. So accurate. In a place like Playa de las Américas, local knowledge counts. Ocean knowledge counts. Timing counts. Knowing when to go slow, when to go fast, and how to match each student with the right conditions is a big part of the difference between a good lesson and real progress.

We have taken the long road ourselves, including the wrong turns, and built a system of teaching rooted in real experience in the water in the Canary Islands. We have been there, done that, got the T-shirt – and now we pass it on in a better way: clearer, more attentive, safer, and more confident from the start.

If you’re looking for a surf school in Tenerife with expert instructors, human teaching, and local knowledge of Las Américas, you’re in the right place.
