Description
Hey, my name is Axel, I am 36 years old and am originally from Argentina. I live since 2 years in Fuerteventura, Corralejo. I fell in love with this place and bought an electric surf shop after travelling the world and living in Denmark for 2 years (I am partly Danish). I used to work in Google, but i quit after 5 years to follow my passion. I live happy here together with my girlfriend Sofia and our dog.
What I offer are adventures like jet surf, e-foiling, sea scooters, SUP and wing foiling lessons. I am right now also running a new company offers Virtual Reality experiences.
The skills I am looking for:
For the electric surf company I require instructors therefor good experience in any board water sports or snowboard is relevant and necessary.
For Virtual reality: I require someone with a passion for gaming and ideally of course for virtual reality, that is good with handling clients especially with children and is good or comfortable in PR.
For my other projects that we can talk about I require skills in any type of design and or engineering, , photography, videography and social media management.
Corralejo is a small city, but full of life. You can walk across it in 15 minutes, which also means you have most things in a short reach. It is a very relaxing atmosphere where you have plenty of sun and 7 rain days a year. It's a place where you can go to a restaurant in flip flop, relax, dance and do a lot of sports. Most people speak English here, but to help me it would be necessary to manage some basic Spanish.
If you are still reading and interested, please mind the information above, and write to me why you are a good fit.
Finally, we are able to host only two people with acommodation and minimum hourly wage according to spanish regulation.
Please reach out to us with further questions!
