Introducing ASI Surfing Instructor: Giovani Dunzer

PORTUGAL.  Giovani is based on the stunning Portuguese coastline, not far from Lisbon, famous for it’s beautiful beaches and world class surf conditions.

We caught up with him to find out more about his surfing life and his training with ASI.

Tell us a bit about your background.

I'm a lifeguard and ASI surf instructor. He completed his ASI IPDJ Curso De Treinadors De Surfing Grau 1.

How did you get started in surfing?

I have been in contact with surfing since my childhood.

Why did you become an ASI qualified surf instructor?

Since I was a kid my love for surfing has only increased. I graduated as a lifeguard and I worked for 7 years as a lifeguard, but just being in the sand was not enough so I decided to teach the sport that I love so much.

What are you doing right now?

Now I am a surf instructor in Portugal (region of Lisbon).

What do you love about being an ASI Surfing Instructor?

I’m proud to be an ASI instructor because the quality of the course is incredible, being one of the best surf instructor courses in the world.

Can you tell us about any memorable stories or situations that have happened whilst instructing?

On Women's Day in Portugal we carried out a project to introduce women who had never had contact with surfing to take an experimental class completely free of charge.

Lots of women enjoyed the experience. So much so that they continued to practice surfing after doing it for the first time on Women's Day. This project took place in Costa da Caparica, Portugal.

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us some insight into your surfing life and recent experiences ! All the best for the future.
