Gerne wieder 🥰 Jasiiimit3i i2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir haben über Get your Guide gebucht um das Surfen auszuprobieren. Wir waren eine überschaubare Gruppe von 3 Personen Nach kurzer Trockenübung am Strand ging es dann auch schon ins Wasser. Hätte mir nicht gedacht dass man so schnell Erfolg hat, am Brett steht und bis an den Strand surft ohne runterzufallen :) Auch wenn wir am Tag danach gefühlt am ganzen Körper Muskelkater hatten, hat es uns mega Spaß gemacht :D Danke Daniel für die tolle erste Surferfahrung :) Sergej Derzap2025-03-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son decided to give surfing another try with Daniel after a previous negative experience, and I’m so glad he did! Daniel’s patience, expertise, and fun approach completely changed his perspective—he absolutely loved it! Now, his only regret is that we’re leaving too soon and can’t continue. I highly recommend Daniel South Coast Surf School, especially for kids. Fantastic experience! Anniken Myrvold2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect family activity. We was 5 in group age 15-54, Daniel guided all of us for surfing first time in life. Daniel is absolutely professional surfer, and a very safe instructor. Hi gave good advice to each one, to master the waves. Professional photographer Ainara, took memorable photos. Nothing to wonder about, just sign up for the course. We will come back next time we are in Maspalomas - Gran Canaria 🌞🌊🌴🤩 Freekie Messs2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. De les was fantastisch. Daniel was geduldig en een kundige leraar. We werden opgewacht en zijn meegenomen om een wedsuit aan te trekken. Op het strand kregen we duidelijke uitleg en oefende wij op onze techniek. Na ongeveer 20 minuten zijn we het water in gegaan waar Daniel ons om de beurt hielp om de juiste golf af te wachten en ons coachte om op onze plank te gaan staan.Wil je een toffe surfles? Kies dan deze surfschool! T. S.2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professioneller Surfkurs, Daniel war ein sehr netter Surflehrer mit super viel Erfahrung. Ich würde den Kurs jedem empfehlen, einfach toll!

I bought my boyfriend a gift voucher for a surf lesson for his birthday, which he was able to enjoy together with his brother. Scheduling the lesson was very easy, and the surf school was extremely accommodating—especially since we were coming from the other side of the island. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and the two of them could start their lesson right away with the instructor. Thanks to the great coaching and the positive atmosphere, they discovered their love for surfing and are sure that they will go surfing again. If we visit Gran Canaria again, we will definitely return to this surf school. Highly recommended! Edmund Kelly2025-02-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dani was AMAZING! I never thought I would pick up surfing in my 40s but there I was riding wave after wave! Dani teaches each person with such encouragement passion and makes sure you are having a blast while learning. If you’re a surfer - he will improve your skills and style. If you’re new to it- after lessons with Dani you will be a surfer!! Brian Carter2025-02-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If they could bottle energy, fun, passion - Dani and his team at South Coast Surf School would corner the market. Had a fabulous week, as a first time surfer, getting to grips with the basics of getting up on a board and riding my first wave. Progressed way further than I was expecting. I always felt supported and safe in the team's hands. I will be back in the future and look forward to having a coffee in sun with Dani, after a fun session in water. Andrew Buchanan2025-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dani was an amazing teacher. I felt so safe and well looked after. I was up on the board with in 10mins of being in the water. We learnt about all aspects of surfing, etiquette safety and about the waves!! This was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend South Coast Surfschool for learning to Surf!!!

From a very young age, I have been connected to the sea; its grandeur and power always fascinated me, leading me to start a sport that would not only become my greatest passion but also define the person I am today.
After more than 35 years of surfing, I’ve learned that the most important thing is respect, both for people and for Mother Nature. Hence, the importance of conveying values such as honesty, humility, empathy, and patience, among others.
As my best friend says, “Water is Life.” That’s why if we spend time away from the sea, we feel somewhat sad because we need to feel the salt on our skin, have that feeling of true happiness right after riding a wave, or those conversations among friends in the water that make every moment in the sea so special.
Having visited several countries, experiencing different cultures, surfing, and meeting people from all over the world, makes me feel capable of conveying the essence of surfing itself, which is enjoying the sea no matter where you come from.
