I am behind Take Off

Hi, I’m Conrad. Since 2016 I have been privileged to call this beautiful island my home. After years of teaching at other schools in Famara, I founded Take Off in 2022. I’m an ISA-certified surf coach, trained lifeguard and personal trainer. For me, coaching is more than helping other people to learn this beautiful sport. As somebody who started surfing quite late, at the age of 24, as a landlocked surfer, I can identify with each of my students. My focus is on helping you make the most of your time in the water and surf with confidence. Surfing is so much fun no matter if it’s your first time on the board or if you’ve already advanced beyond the beginner stage. In my experience, the hardest task when learning how to surf is identifying what is important for you and how to take the next step to level up your surfing. Famara is the perfect place to learn to surf and has waves all year round. Still, the waves and weather are not always the same, and neither are my surf students. Whether you’re tall and strong or a smaller person, like kids and teenagers, choosing the right day and tide can make the difference between endless fun and getting stuck. Progressing with every session is the best recipe for enjoying every wave and coming out of the water with a big smile. If you´ve got questions about lessons or booking, just drop me a message on WhatsApp! When are you coming to get stoked?
