"Surfing is not just a sport, it is the path we choose to connect with the sea and with ourselves."
Waya, in the African Swahili language, means path or trail, symbolizing direction, guidance or a journey. At Waya Surf School we see surfing as a lifelong journey, where each surfer follows their own path, leading them to live a thousand experiences and moments for a lifetime.
We would love to introduce you to this journey or be part of yours.
That's how it was for Víctor Bueno Ureña. A young local surfer and bodyboarder who began his surfing journey at just 6 years old in the waves of Gran Canaria and, after more than 12 years surfing and competing in the Canary Islands, sought to turn his passion into his career.
He started by obtaining solid training as a surf instructor licensed by the Spanish Surfing Federation and a university degree in Physical Education and Sports Training in York, England, while simultaneously gaining international experience working as Manager and Head Coach at surf camps in France, Cantabria, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria, alongside the renowned international company Planet Surf Camps.
After a long journey of 6 years in the world of surf instruction and many lessons and experiences, he decided to start his own project: WAYA SURF.
