The Tenerife Surf Point opened in 2013, continuing to grow since then. Its owner and first coach is Kristine Zukova. Kris has taught surfing all around the world and finally decided to settle in Tenerife after feeling the homey vibe. Kris began on Tenerife at the invitation of one of the surf schools in the south of Tenerife. Within the first months of starting teaching, the number of applicants seeking to learn to surf was so high that she sometimes needed to stay in water for up to 12 hours a day (each class lasts 2 hours). After working for 18 months at a stretch, Kris wanted a break-she quit and enjoyed surfing without teaching for a while. That time ended up being short-lived, however-the trainees wanted more from her continued guidance and made requests throughout the year, leading to growing success.
