April showed its best side: plenty of sunshine, hardly any wind, and waves just as you’d wish for. Exactly the mix that makes island life here so special.
Easter brunch under palm trees
We kicked off the month in style with a leisurely Easter brunch on our surfhouse terrace. The sun on our faces, a table piled high with everything that makes us happy: warm tortillas, fresh bread, sweet overnight oats, homemade spreads, juicy fruit, and crisp vegetables. Add to that colorful Easter eggs and a homemade Easter wreath. So delicious!
Surfing in April
Of course, surfing was the main focus again in April. Getting up early was more than worth it; Lisa (guest) and Lisa (coordinator) were often in the water at first light. Almost empty lineups and fantastic waves.
Our surf courses were once again full of small and big successes: the first take-offs, the first time standing on the board, the first green waves. And above all, that shared excitement as a group when someone catches their wave – that’s exactly why we love it.
Beach life & summer vibes
After the sessions, it was often straight to the beach: recharging, soaking up the sun, jumping into the sea. The water is noticeably warmer; summer is just around the corner. The first thoughts of shorter wetsuits are definitely starting to creep in.
The evenings? Just as good. Sunsets with a cool drink in hand, long conversations, and barbecues together. Fresh salads, corn on the cob, vegetable skewers, and as the grand finale: grilled banana with chocolate and mango ice cream. Hard to beat.
Island adventure
There was plenty going on away from the water too: Lars and Robert explored the island on two wheels and rode as far as the dunes of Corralejo, including relaxing breaks 🙂
Vitamin Sea Retreat
The end of the month was extra special: our second Vitamin Sea Retreat kicked off, together with surf coaches Julian and Gianlu. The days had their own unique flow: breakfast in the sun, followed by surfing, relaxation, and little explorations of the island. In the evenings, yoga was followed by video analysis sessions where we reviewed the surf sessions together – incredibly valuable and always with a few “aha” moments.
April, you came pretty close to being the perfect month. And if this is a taste of what’s to come in summer, then there’s more to come!
