What is Surfing and what does it involve

Surfing is a water sport that involves riding the waves of the sea using a specially designed board. The goal is to maintain balance and stability on the board while navigating the crest of the waves.

Surfing is a very appealing sport, but we must remember that it is also a risky activity, and it is essential to understand certain rules of respect. At our school, we help you understand the sea, tides, wave priority, and everything you need to enjoy this sport in nature without facing any risks.

Surfing is not just a sport; it is a way of life and a culture.

Values of Surfing

Surfers are often drawn to the values associated with this sport, such as respect for nature and the environment, teamwork, love for the ocean and outdoor life, freedom, and adventure.

Surfing promotes values of coexistence, as it is a group sport that requires a certain level of discipline and respect for the rules. Additionally, the surfing community often works together to protect the environment and beaches, promoting sustainable and respectful practices.

Nature and Surfing

Nature is a fundamental part of surfing. Surfers feel a strong connection to the ocean and marine life. For them, the sea is a sacred and respected space that must be protected and preserved. Many surfers actively engage in conservation and beach cleanup projects.
