Tiberiu Balica

Dom Presedinte / Surf Instructor

Pasionat de snowboard, am inceput sa fac surf din 2011 in Tenerife, Insulele Canare unde l-am cunoscut pe Dan Gheorghe alaturi de care am prins gustul valurilor, iar motivatia mea pentru a arata si altora ce inseamna bucuria surfing-ului este sa-i vad la fel de fericiti ca mine cand reusesc sa faca ce isi propun. Din 2012 am inceput sa predau cursuri de surf pe valul artificial de la Divertiland din Bucuresti, apoi am calatorit in cele mai frumoase locuri de surf din lume unde care am pus bazele organizarii excursiilor pe care le facem la SupAcademy Romania. Acum traiesc vara in Romania fiind instructor de surf si SUP, iar din septembrie urmaresc vara in jurul lumii invatand surf pe mine si pe altii, pana in luna mai. Viata ideala pentru mine e langa apa si cel mai bun lucru pe care pot sa-l fac este sa invat pe cineva sa se relaxeze, sa traiasca mai sanatos si sa se cunoasca mai bine.

Amadeo Blandi

Dom Coleg / Surf Instructor

M-am urcat pe placa de surf la 9 ani, impresionat fiind de surferii experimentati. Originar din Sicilia, m-am mutat in Tenerife la varsta de 19 ani. Am inceput sa concurez la varsta de 13 ani, iar la 17 ani am inceput sa predau cursuri de surf. In 2015 am deschis propria Scoala de Surf iar in momentul de fata organizez campionate de surfing in Tenerife. Franta si Spania sunt locurile mele preferate pentru surf, iar paradisul il gasesc acum in Mentawai – Indonezia.

Testimonials

"The boys taught me how to surf. I went to Tenerife with them for the first time 3 years ago and I didn't want to come back. I met beautiful people, visited beautiful places and the instructors are quite cool, proffesionals and super fun as well. In conclusion, if you want to learn a new sport and be surrounded by a lot of positive vibes, it's time to book a seat in one of the surf camps. I recommend it!!"

Razvan

"I recommend with all my heart this kind of experience to extreme sports amateurs, but also for those who simply want to meet new people and enjoy the absolutely beautiful landscapes from the island."

Ana Maria

"It was my first surf camp experience. There will be more for sure. It was a vacation full of activities, walks, relaxing, unexpected events that made the character of the trip itself. The most important thing was that I learned how to surf, something I've always wanted. Thank you Tibi ( Tiberian 😀 ) for everything, and see you next year!"

Detalii

The Canary Islands are calling you if:

You dream of a vacation on the surfboard, on a tropical island close to Romania, with warm waters, when the cold weather is already settling throughout Europe;
You want to find out more about the surfing culture and live the wave riding;
You get energized by nature, sun, the ocean waves and the landscapes with beaches surrounded by high mountains;
You like to have fun and meet new people that share a common passion for surfing, or want to be with your crew in the water;
You want the freedom and mobility of organizing your time spent outside the water as you wish;
You like adventures and you would like to explore the area, going from the sea level up above the clouds on a 3800 meters volcano, while passing through a prehistoric tropical forest endemic to the Canary Islands;
You want to surf on a subtropical island, Tenerife;
You want to do yoga, eat healthy and taste the most delicious tropical fruits that Europe has to offer.

A European tropical experience:

An island has the great benefit of having one coastline permanently exposed to strong waves and another one being more protected from the brute force of the ocean. Whether you are looking for volcanic black sand beaches and deserted beaches untouched by tourism, waves for any level of surfing, or laurel forests and Martian landscapes, you have available the camp’s cars, so you can easily explore this European paradise. Load the surfboards in the car and go in search of the surf or take part in the courses and training organized by us. The idea of the camp is to have fun learning to surf, to relax and find your balance.

Rest, relaxation and recharging:

The accommodation is located in the southern part of the Tenerife island, only a 15 minutes walk from the ocean, and a 20 minutes drive to the surf spot, in a luxury villa with a capacity of 17 spots, and with a fully equipped kitchen. The rooms are for two, three or four people, each room with its own bathroom. The spacious courtyard with a lawn, banana trees, a swimming pool, BBQ and sunbeds urges you to relax, chill or party.

PS: You don’t even need to bring a towel, we have them waiting for you all fresh and clean.

Surf:

The surfing classes are divided into groups for beginners and intermediate/advanced, each of the six sessions lasting for about two hours (practice on water and approx. 30 min. for the theoretical part and warm-up). Since surfing is a risky sport and safety is at the forefront, the courses are organized on sandy or reef beaches depending on the level of the group. The locations and times of the surf courses are precisely chosen in order for the practice to be made in optimal safety conditions – sandy beaches with wind-generated waves for those who do not know how to swim or are afraid of water, or reef beaches with clean waves (green waves) for intermediates and for those who want to stay in the lineup, choosing the right tide level to safely surf. The six courses have a progressive and evolutionary structure to effectively increase your surfing skills.

Surfing equipment:

Throughout the camping, you will have your own neoprene surfing suit that you will take care of until the end of the camp, and can use anywhere you go on the island. At each surf course you will have a school surfboard – soft top, proportional in size to your balance. For a small extra fee, you will be able to use the surfboard – that you keep all day – outside of the classes. After a small test, the more advanced can ask for fiber boards – hard tops.

More than just surf:

The mobility on the island is part of the experience. We will use the cars all throughout the trip, either for going to the surf training or for the half day off when you can enjoy the optional activities like the Stand Up Paddle trip or the Kayak trip across the ocean to see the dolphins and the sea turtles, to Yoga, BBQ, trekking in the rainforest, downhill Mountain Biking, paragliding, parasailing, or for visiting the La Gomera island where the prehistoric laurel forest is the best preserved in the world.
