Ocean Connection Week: Longboard, Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Tenerife

The week is built around the Wavefulness approach: longboard and mid-length classes that borrow from yoga and meditation, so you are working on breath, timing and presence as much as pop-ups and turns. Sessions run daily alongside yoga and meditation classes, and all surfing material is provided.

Surf Life Tenerife is an official surf school of the Federación Canaria de Surf. The team includes founder Antonio, originally from Venice, who has been surfing since 2008; Pablo, born and raised on Gran Canaria with 20 years in the water; Guillermo (Guille), who has 13 years of surfing behind him and teaches a lot of the younger surfers; and Tommy, the youngest instructor, who joined as an intern in 2025 and returned full-time. Maria Luisa (Marilù) is a co-owner and school manager.

The school sits at shop number 82 in Parque Santiago 3, Playa de Las Américas, roughly 100 metres from the surf spot. Daily transfers run from Costa Adeje to the school. The SurfHouse is a ten-minute walk from the beach.

Beyond the water, the team runs surfskate lessons on land, stand-up paddle sessions, snorkelling boat tours where you can swim near green turtles and watch whales in the wild, and tandem paragliding. The school is open every day during lesson times.

This is a small-group week — a maximum of eight participants — so coaching stays close and the schedule can flex with the conditions. It suits surfers who want to slow down and work on technique on a longboard or mid-length rather than paddle out on a shortboard.
