Gaspard – Traveler and surf coach
- Originally from France, Gaspard has lived and worked all over the world: in China, Australia, Morocco, and Portugal. It was during the COVID-19 pandemic that he discovered surfing—a revelation that transformed his life. In 2022, he trained as an instructor with the International Surfing Association. He recently settled in the Canary Islands, drawn by the mild climate and the promise of year-round waves.
- Outside of the water, Gaspard has a passion for cinema, politics, and music. But what he loves most of all is sharing his passion: guiding everyone in discovering their first waves and letting them experience the unique feeling that surfing provides.
Maria – From nightlife to surfing
- After 15 years in the Cologne nightlife scene, then 10 years in the restaurant industry in Switzerland, Maria changed course at 35: she traded her snowboard for a surfboard and followed her call to the ocean.
- Now settled by the water, surfing has become her wellness ritual, but what she loves most is organizing lessons and sharing her passion with her students. With her humor and philosophy of life, she moves forward with a light touch: for her, a smile solves many problems.
- Maria likes simple things: taking her time, cooking with her favorite vegetables, and above all, sharing the joy of life that she draws from every wave.
