WELCOME TO OUR CREW. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY
After traveling the world… we founded PARADISE!
TRAYECTORY
After several years working in Sales and Logistics fields (Octavio) and Advertising, PR and Marketing areas (Chelu); we quit our jobs to travel the world Surfing and Kitesurfing. All the studies and thousands of our experience in office work, meetings and events planning have paid the sacrifices as we turned all in our new passion and businesses: Surf and Kitesurf travel, event planning and guest focus experiences.
EXPERIENCE
15 years traveling and organising Water sports Camps (Surf – Kite – Yoga) all over the world, worked with different Kite and surf schools and centers, with properties, Hotels, restaurants and professionals; we have learned so much about what to do, how to do it and what surfers want and expect from a Surf and Kite holiday. It took us many years, lots of ups and downs, until we learned the balanced formula. Experience, commitment, professionalism, immersion, focus on small details is what make us different.
