Surf At Night...What a PARTY...!!!

On the 14th of August we had a great party right in front of our beach house.
Surf at Night.. Great dj´s and great bands made the night perfect.
Unfourtunatly there where no waves and so... no surf.. But it didn´t ruin the party at all!!

At our beach house we made our own party with the Surfivors and we had VIP places on our terras with a perfect view on the main stage!

Party till the sun came up..





Our own bar... With barman Miguel and barman Peter..

The 1st "An asshole" Competition 2009

We can proudly say that last week we had our first " An Asshole" competition this year! And it is not about who can surf the best.. no! It is about who can make the most funny, craziest moves. And we have seen the most funny and craziest moves and rewarded it with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and a "best move" price!

Matt is explaning how the heats wil be...













The jury: Miguel, Matt and Peter... concentrated on who is making the most funny move...












The winners!

Theory lessons are also important. We make it funny...

Hi,

here I felt like a real school teacher, with a real classroom and all the kids paying total attention (yeah...right) to what I'm saying!
Actually this was a great theory lesson, where we talked about all elements involved in surfing, from tides to currents, generation of waves to off-shore winds, from the history of surfing to surf board shapes and much more.
I think everybody enjoyed it quite a lot and it was great to have feedback and see how the guests are interested in learning more and more about the art of wave surfing!

After a little brak, and with the tide too high to surf, it was time for a nice Yoga session in the forest! Now everybody is feeling relaxed and ready for another surf session tomorrow morning.

Happy days at Surfivor!!!

Hope to see you soon,


sunny greetings



Miguel

Beautifull day at the beach of Paramos!

Hi Surfivors!

Yesterday we made a litlle surftrip to another beach. The uncrowded beach of Paramos!
Because of a very nice south swell, the water was warm enough to surf in shorties and even in boardshorts.
Check out the pics!
