5 Days Surf Course

The surf school in the north of Tenerife is one of our best surf schools. The small group of elite athletes and pro surfers turned their passion into a profession and realized their dream of their own surf school. They pass on more than 30 years of surfing experience to the surfing students.

The philosophy: to teach real surfing! Surf in tune with all the elements! In addition to practice in the water, you will also be taught theory on the beach.

Es wird euch gezeigt, wie der Wind und die Wellen zu lesen sind. Auch wie man mit der Natur umgeht und was im Umgang mit den Locals zu beachten ist, ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Unterrichts. Im Wasser wird euch geholfen, eure Technik zu verbessern und neue Manöver zu beherrschen. Kleine Gruppen mit max. acht Teilnehmern sorgen für den größtmöglichen Lernerfolg! Die Kurse finden entweder auf Deutsch, Englisch oder Spanisch statt. Alex Zirke, der Leiter der Surfschule, ist Big Wave Surfer, einer der besten deutschen Surfer und hält den Titel "Deutscher Meister 2012"!

What is surf therapy?

1. Description & Focus

Physical and mental health go hand in hand. Surf therapy combines proven clinical psychological methods with surfing on river waves or on the sea. It is a structured psychological support that does not take place sitting in chairs, but on the surfboard and in nature. It offers you the opportunity to work on individual stresses, conflicts and behavioral patterns in a professional setting by learning how to surf. The treatment goals and thus the selection of the module topics to be treated are worked out together with the participants and the commissioning organization.

The program comprises ten different modules that focus on different topics. Due to the modular structure, it is possible to put together a completely individual program.

Special physical requirements are not necessary, you should only be able to swim.

2. Procedure and goal of surf therapy

PROCESS

Depending on the conditions that the ocean offers us, we strive for a surf therapy session every day. This consists of a preparatory lesson on the beach, an hour of surfing together in the sea and a subsequent follow-up lesson. In the group setting, we deliberately keep the group sizes small (approx. 3 people per group), so that I or we can respond to each individual very individually in the water. In total, one unit will last about 3.5 hours. You have the rest of the time at your disposal to visit the beautiful island of Tenerife, to go on vacation or to do some surfing.

GOAL

The aim of this week is to get a deeper understanding of relevant personal thought and behavior patterns (“inner critic, inner child, healthy adult”) and to transfer the new strategies learned while surfing in dealing with these patterns into personal everyday life. Plus you learn how to surf by the sea from professionals.
