Surfing Tenerife with 9 Friends

Postby chank » Mon Sep 26, 2016 9:24 am

Hi,
I'm new to this forum: My Name is Chris, I'm from the south of germany (worst selection of surfabel spots ever!) and I'm surfing for three years now.
I have three questions regarding a surf-trip to Tenerife together with nine friends coming march '17. Isearched this forum but did not find the right answers.
So here are my questions:

- Do you have any suggestions in terms of nice but inexpensive (<20€/Person&Night) accomodations for such a big group?

- We will be 10 people + 8-10 boards: This raises question of how to be mobile? We could rent two cars with 5 seats each but than we would still be in trouble transporting all the boards (Min 5 Boards bigger than 8'0") :D
So my question: Do you have any advice for local pricy car or bus rentals? Another option would be a small trailer for the car but I never heard about a trailer rental for vacation...
We don't need new shiny and cozy cars. We need something that can carry us all over the island and can deal with some bumpy dirtroads.

- Do you have any advice for some board rental in the islands north/north-west (<10€/Day&Board)?

Thank you very much for your wise counsil! ;)

Car rental and other stuff, you can investigate soft roofracks which will enable you to carry that many boards between to cars.

As for what's available in accommodation and cars might not be much information here.
But some advice on etiquette 10 guys turning up at a beach and all going out together can turn a pleasant surf for those already there into a crowd scene, be aware of this otherwise you could encounter local hostility especially if the majority of you are learners.
Above all have a good safe time!

To give a late feedback on our trip: :)
Tenerife is great and we enjoyed it a lot. Even with such a big group.
We stayed at AirBnB "Banana House" which I can fully recommend for groups >10 persons.
Car problem was soplved by renting a van + a car with drivy.
Board rental was made possible by the nice guys of planet surfcamps. Just text them. (info@planetsurfcamps.com)
Keep on riding!
