Davide

I traded Rome for the magic of Santa Teresa, and I'm incredibly blessed to have found Michelle and this amazing place.

Surfing here is truly special—it's more than a sport; it’s a journey of self-discovery where you connect with the ocean's rhythm and your own inner flow.

Experience the joy

Surfing is a joyful dance with the sea, and we'll teach you to approach it with skill, fun, and laughter. Our beloved dogs are often right there with us, keeping the vibe warm and welcoming.

“Would highly recommend to all! Had the best time. Book here if you’re in Santa Teresa area.

Had a great experience. Not only do you learn the proper basics, but you learn the “why” of it all, so that you’re able to apply on your own in an independent way and continue to build on those skills. Davide was so knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient.”— Hannah Danielson
