At this point just some information about me.
My name is Thorsten and I discovered surfing in the early 90’s.
With my then green VW bus, I spent every imaginable free time in southern France and northern Spain. With a surfboard not suitable for beginners and no internet knowledge, they searched for waves and somehow gave their best to ride the waves of the Atlantic.
But in the mid-90s I turned my back on this sport and devoted myself entirely to snowboarding and the mountains.
In 1999 the turning point came again. I sold all my belongings, moved into a Mercedes bus and headed back to the sea.
2-week surf course, 2 months between France and Portugal and 3 months in a row in Costa Rica. And that was just the beginning of a journey of no return to Germany.
This was followed by a surf sport companion training and many years of experience in various surf camps, as well as surf trips and surf guiding around the world.
I concentrated on the advanced training, developed my own concept and stayed true to my line: to impart knowledge to surfers after they have started surfing.
With my „Secret Surf Travel“ project, I would like to take you on a journey into the world of surfing, improve and build up your skills, give tips and above all point the way to becoming an independent surfer.
“ No matter how good a surfer is, there is always one point or another that can be improved. „
Even today I live and work in my bus, organize surfing events, have a SUP stations in Germany and spend a lot of time at the ocean.
The “ Algarve Surf House “ Project was always a dream that looks like its coming up now.
So here we go and Join the Algarve with us.
