- SPECIAL DAYS ON THE WEST COAST OF TENERIFE
First winter swells delivered some exceptional conditions in Tenerife this year. A spot that didn’t work a single time the previous winter blessed us with a few sessions close together just before & after New Year.
On this occasion & great forecast I decided to take Rafa Soulart with me to capture the action for those days from the land & have him put this great edit together. Additional footage from the water came from my Surf-Survival instructor Mehdi Allam (Oceanic.motion) on the 3rd day who face the waves in the impact zone behind the camera provide some unique angles to make this clip even more complete .
My aim for this clip is to give you a look on what it feels like to be sailing out there, what the dangers are & how I challenged myself to aim to keep pushing on that wave knowing the danger it has in case things do go wrong.
It’s a wave that breaks extremely close to the rocks and where a mistake usually gets paid in cash (broken gear) yet allows some of the best wave riding on the island. It’s an exercise of letting go of the fear to go to the rocks, trusting in your abilities yet keeping that common sense to not push too much past your limit to avoid an early exit in the session.
In the clip I also have included guest riders like Julian Salmon, Matteo Iachino, Danny Bruch & some of the local sailing crew from Tenerife with who I share these unique sessions.
Big thanks to Severne for supporting this clip and my journey.
Does this clip want to make you start wave sailing, improve your wave sailing or improve your windsurfing in general to one day be able to ride conditions like these?

😂🤙
WOW what a spot... nice waves and nice sailor. Saludos desde Argentina
Thank you!! Where some really good days!
As you said, it looks perfect but not AT ALL simple! I really admire how you've morphed from an (excellent) freestyle sailor into a serious wave sailor, Dieter. Mondo respect.
Hello thank you! Not the easiest place to sail indeed especially being so close to the rocks but enjoy it a lot! Definitly made a transition to more waves & especially the wave riding is my biggest passion & something I can’t get enough from 🤟🤟
beautiful
It must be great to ride such waves! Going to Tenerife for one of your wave clinics is on the list. 🤙
Best feeling in the world ! Hope to welcome soon!
Amazing video Dieter !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done, Dieter!!!
Thank you! Thanks for sharing also!
siiick dieter!!
Thank you glad you enjoyed it!
epic stuff
thanks man! Looking forward to sail together again in Chile!!
Really great sailing! Good conditions and great filming! Looking forward to the next one. Hopefully some more great conditions coming this way
Thank you! Hopefully we get some special days again in March before winter is gone!
Epic footage and riding => Dieter delivers!
Thanks glad you enjoyed the clip & the riding!!
Absolutely...and the 02:16...
Amazing session
thank you! It was one for the books!
Epic! Crazy you didn’t score it once all of last year! When I can’t sleep at night I still wonder how the session would have ended if I risked it on Day one when we went there 2 years ago 😂
Yeah last winter it simply never aligned but this winter it has made up for it! You should have jumped in that day but next time!
Dieter, how the wind and waves looks like in a El Niño year on the 'normal' side in the island, Medano, Cabezo, etc?
It was a slow start of winter to be very honest but since mid february it has been pretty much non stop with today 40 knots and 3.3 wind all day. Cabezo only picks up wind swell since its on the south east side of the island but on days like today we still get 2 - 2,5 meter waves.
