Surfing - Kontraola - Tenerife Surf School powered by Quiksilver and Roxy

There are surf schools, and then there's Kontraola. Planted at the heart of Playa de las Américas, right in front of one of Tenerife's finest breaks, Kontraola was built by people who didn't just learn to surf here, they grew up here. These are locals who know every current, every rock, every mood the Atlantic can throw at you. That knowledge doesn't just make them great surfers. It makes them exceptional teachers. For over 15 years, Kontraola has done one thing better than almost anyone on the island: getting people on their feet. A high percentage of students stand up on their very first lesson, not because the waves are small, but because the teaching is that good. Every class follows a proven two-hour structure. It begins on the sand, 30 minutes of theory, technique, and ocean awareness, delivered with the kind of calm confidence that only comes from real experience. Then it's into the water for 90 minutes of hands-on practice, with instructors staying right alongside students the entire time. Not watching from the shore. In the water, with you, on every wave. Led by Félix Trujillo, certified by both the Canarian and Spanish surf federations and backed by over 20 years of teaching, the Kontraola team brings genuine expertise to every session. Classes run in Spanish, English, and Italian, and are open to everyone: absolute beginners, intermediate surfers, advanced riders, children, seniors, and people with functional diversity. Groups are kept deliberately small, a maximum of 6 students per instructor, compared to the industry standard of 8, because quality matters more than volume here. Every student gets real attention. Every student gets real progress. With a 4.8/5 rating across more than 830 verified reviews, Kontraola isn't just one of the best surf schools in Tenerife. It's one of the most trusted sporting experiences on the island.
