Hi, I’m Daniele

I’m a private surf coach based in El Cotillo, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, focused on helping surfers of all levels improve both in and out of the water through a personalised and conscious coaching approach.

My way of teaching is inclusive and respectful of any individual story, body or athletic level. Whether you’re a total beginner, someone who has struggled in group lessons or a surfer looking to break through a plateau, my main goal is to make you feel at home in the water so you can improve gradually, consistently and with a big smile on your face.

The best surfer is not the most talented one. It’s the one who understands what to work on, shows up with purpose and gets out of the water with a big smile.

Discover Online Coaching

I’m an experienced surf coach offering structured online coaching programs built around your goals, your current level and your lifestyle. From personalised video analysis to live coaching calls, homework and ongoing support, everything is designed around you, wherever you surf in the world. Available for beginners and intermediate surfers.

I had an amazing surf lesson with Daniele! He is incredibly professional, positive, and passionate about teaching.

After just one session, he understood both my physical and mental strengths and weaknesses. He gave me clear, practical advice on how to improve my weak points while also encouraging me to build on my strengths. His feedback was personalized and easy to understand, which made me feel much more confident in the water.

I highly recommend Daniele to surfers of any level. I’m a complete beginner, and I was extremely satisfied with my lesson. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating surf instructor, Daniele is the perfect choice!

The lesson is tailored to the individual, and you don't feel like (as often happens in Fuerte schools) just a number or a client to be entertained.
Daniele cares about your experience and your progression, motivating you and helping you understand, through movement analysis and listening, what you can improve now and in the future.
He cares about his work and truly thinks about the little details that make a difference, like tricks, tips, and videos and photos with a Go Pro!
He's very passionate about his work, positive, and professional! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ✨

I came to Daniele through a recommendation, and I left as a fan.

I've been fortunate enough to work with some excellent surf coaches, and Daniele is certainly no exception. I had 11 days of private lessons with him, and his coaching goes far beyond simply paddling out, spending some time in the water, and doing the same thing again the next day.

He provides detailed analysis and feedback both in the water and on land, along with practical exercises to work on between sessions. Truth be told, it also was a humbling experience at times... Even though I'd already invested some time (and money) into my surfing, we went back to the basics to correct several small (and some not so small) technical issues that are fundamental to getting better. Looking back, I only wish I'd done that much earlier.

My main reason for booking, however, wasn't necessarily to progress to the next level. What I really wanted was to become more confident in the water. Thanks to Daniele's patient, structured, and thoughtful coaching, I can honestly say that I achieved exactly that.

If I return to Fuerteventura, Daniele will be my first call. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Learning to surf completely transformed my life, and I owe it all to Daniele! He’s an exceptional coach who prioritizes quality over quantity in every session. Daniele is deeply committed to helping you progress while ensuring you feel comfortable and safe in the water. His passion for the ocean and surfing is contagious, and he channels that energy into making every lesson inspiring and impactful. Each session is tailored to help you get the most out of your experience, and his supportive approach builds both skill and confidence. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

If you are a beginner or intermediate Surfer and need to have a Surf Instructor, then this is the guy to come over in Fuerteventura.

I met Dani or me and my wife met Dani 3 years ago before the pandemic with another surf school, however he is now working on his own.

Dani is a certified instructor and someone who will take it's time to really explain you how this wonderful sport works. He will go from step 1 all the way with you just because he is a very passionate guy. If you need a 1 to 1 session or Videoanalyse session he can also do it.
Language he speaks are Italian, English and Spanish so far I know, if there is a new one he can put it in the comments.

I think his prices are not overrated, so fair enough let's say. If you need to rent equipment he can also organized that for you.

So from our side he is HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Dani thanks again for the amazing lesson time and your support.

Dani is one of the best surf coaches I know. He took my surfing to the next level with his amazing coaching skills. I always feel save with him in the water as he is an experienced lifeguard. You have a lot of fun with him and leaving the water with a smile is for sure which is for me the most important thing. Contact him if you want to experience surfing as a wonderful way of life and not "just" a sport.

Daniele is a very experienced and capable coach. I have taken 5 lessons with him and he helped me a lot with technique and confidence. One day, I was feeling sick in the water and he took me out in 10 mins from very far away, demonstrating to be a very skillful lifeguard as well. I strongly advise anyone who is looking for 1:1 surf coaching to contact him.
