Surf and Photo in Fuerteventura!!

Hola Everybody!!


Some news here at the Home Grown Surf School in Fuerteventura!
Besides teaching how to catch waves, day after day, we have some new ideas for your surf holiday in Fuerteventura.


It's called Surf&Photo!!
The idea it's very simple: every morning you go surfing to the best beach for your level and every afternoon you can go shooting some of the best locations and the most wonderful sightseeings of Fuerteventura with the help and tips of two professional photographers.
 (Mauro Ladu and Emanuele Reguzzoni)
The project in collaboration with the guy of Photo Canarias has the aim to combine surfing and the exploration of our beautiful island!

Depending on the light and weather conditions we will bring you shooting breathtaking sunsets, volcanic lunar landscapes, red mountains meeting blue lagoon and all the beutiful sightseeings that make Fuerteventura a unique place in the world. (Fuerteventura has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by Unesco in 2009).

The photo course is offered from beginner to experienced photographer and provides elements on the following subjects:

• the principles associated with light, lenses and cameras

• how to create a good composition in photography

• shooting techniques (landscapes, travel, action and portraits)

• image processing

Hello everybody!

Sorry for not updating the blog in the last weeks but we have been very busy in doing what we like the most: surfing!

Winter is time for big waves on the north shore and clean and nice wave on the east coast...so basically everybody enjoyed nice session under the sunny sky of Fuerteventura.

The cold European winter made lots of surfers escape from ice and snow to recover and warm up on our beaches so the surf school and surf camp have been pretty busy!

As usually i'm better in taking pictures than writing..so have a look at some new one..

Stay tuned!

Merry surfing Xmas!

Hello surfers,

The next few days are going to be busy cause we will be visited by a lot of new and old surfers who decided to spend the xmas holiday under the african sun :). It's gonna be fun!!!

Our best wishes for a merry xmas and a great 2012 from the Home Grown team!!

Good waves to everybody!

Winter in Fuerteventura: waves, sand and sun!

Hello everybody!

Due to a short trip to the U.S. I haven't uploaded new pix since a few. Sorry for that.

Anyway, November it's almost at its end, and despite it's supposed to be low season we have been very busy at the Home Grown surf camp.

Probably more and more people know that winter in Fuerteventura means wearing flip flops and sunbathing on our beautiful beaches after a surf session!

In the last weeks the conditions have been pretty classic: the group of the intermediate surfer have surfed the reef breaks on the north shore and the ones at their first experience have had the first surf lesson on some of easier beach break around Corralejo and the sand dunes park.

Today in particular the north shore was really on fire and some guys scored really good waves!

As usual i post some shots...I hope you like them!

For the ones just left the Island and the surf camp, good bye and see you soon on the line up!

Autumn in Fuerte!

Hello surfers,

september has come and already 3 big swells have hit the island in the last 20 days! All the reef breaks of the north shore were back on fire as well as the Island of Lobos with its long and perfect right hander!

The guys and the girls at the Home Grown surf school with more experience on the board could surf the reef in really good and clean conditions and the ones who were at their first try have been brought to the sand dunes and to the other beaches along the east coast.

Nothing else to say, the waves are breaking good today, so it's time to go surfing!

Till the next...

September sessions..

Hola everybody!

I can without any doubt say that this summer was absolutely a blast! We had good waves, fantastic weather, good parties and, most important, we had the pleasure to host and teach people from almost all over the world, from New York to Sydney from Rome to Oslo!

The busiest moment of the year seems to be over now, even though the surf Camp "Casa Hilda" is pretty full.

These first days of september are giving us the first waves on the north shore making us looking forward to the winter!

As usual, few pictures are below...

We hope to see you soon back!

Mauro & HG
