In the Canary Islands the sons of the ocean are raised
instinctive and very formative
game for the kids of
Club Hijos del Mar school,
an association which was
founded a couple of years
ago by Roberta Trocchio
and Roberto Caruso, an
Italian couple who decided
to move to Fuerteventura.
The school is dedicated
to raising young people,
from children to teenagers,
with the culture of the
sea.
"My husband and I have always
been fond of the sea
and water sports - Roberta
explains - and all our holidays
were dedicated to
the practice of windsurfing,
surfing and kitesurfing.
When our children Alessandro
and Virginia were born,
quite naturally they too
wanted to practice these
activities. Then a few years
ago, we bought a house
in Fuerteventura and we
looked for a sea school designed
especially for children,
but there wasn't any.
This was pretty peculiar
for an island like this one
which represents a Mecca
all over the world for water
sports enthusiasts. So we
decided to move there and
to open one ourselves".
An arduous dream,
but René Egli believed
in it
