ABOUT THE SURF TRIBE

WHO WE ARE

We are a surf and travel agency run by a tight group of friends.

We started this project in 2019 because we could not imagine spending our next 40 years sitting behind a desk. We wanted life to feel like a surf trip does: immersed in nature, surrounded by close friends, far away from the rat race and routine, chasing new waves and new experiences.

WHAT WE DO

We organize authentic surf trips for surfers of all levels. Whether you’re dreaming of riding your first wave or getting your first barrel, we will always recommend you the best surf trips for your level.

There are few things more satisfying than improving your surfing, discovering new incredible destinations and having more fun with friends in the water.

Our goal is to bring people together through surfing and to open doors for new friendships: a Tribe of surfers connected with nature, the Ocean, and people and cultures from all over the world.

Most surfers joining our trips are solo travelers and our groups are mixed and International: no matter your surf level, we make sure that every trip you join with the Tribe makes you a better surfer and creates long-lasting memories and bonds.

GIANFRANCO LANZIO
Co-founder / Brand + Social
RICCARDO MARINO
Co-founder / Product + Sales
STEFANO CACCIARELLI
Co-founder / Marketing + Finance

If something is not working on the website or the last Instagram post is two weeks old, that's Gianfranco's fault. He had to choose between fixing bugs or enjoying some good waves – and he chose the latter.

When he is not developing exciting new surf trips with partners and helping you find the perfect surf trip for your level, you can probably find Riccardo sliding on his mid-lenght or playing music with friends.

CLAUDIA BRENTANI
Business Development

Often living out of his van, Stefano manages to fit in the same morning an early surf session followed by hours of looking at tables and numbers. He prefers  surfing to crunching data.
