About Thorsten

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 knowledge of the internet, 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 instructor training and many years of teaching work 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.
