Just bought some flights to Tenerife for February. Never went there because its touristic reputation. Now it was the only destination that fit the timeslot+budget, and the surf is apparently real good so.
Any tips where to go and where not to go (the touristic cities I guess). Looking for surf, cool little villages, maybe to climb that volcano?

Bumped for interest
Def avoid the tourist cities. Laguna is a world heritage site. The volcano is the shiznit. Orotava valley looks pretty. Rent a car.
there is a small hostel you can stay at near the summit of the volcano but you can only stay 1 night

you can be a lazy bastard and take a cable car there, or hike up but i'm not sure where you could start from, maybe vilaflor
That island looks like a duck

It is surprising how many things look like ducks.
Take a boat trip to la gomera. That is an untouched paradise. You will not regret it
OP here

Is this the place where the hippies used to live in caves and such? Sounded pretty awesome.
Anyone knows some chill villages with basic stuff, beach with surf and no redneck brits?

Surf newbie here, how do you deal with the crowd?

I am from Europe and the places I go to are not so crazy overcrowded as in Cali for example (in my understanding), but generally it helps to go early in the morning and during the week. Otherwise you wait for your turn and follow the etiquette. I'm not a good surfer, but usually when others notice that I understand the rules of the lineup I manage to catch some waves (and usually fall hehe),

Can you tell me more about surfing etiquette? I started surfing some time ago but one of the things I'm most afraid of is pissing off other surfers without even knowing

The person closest to the point where the wave breaks gets the wave. Don't drop on anyone. If you just got to the lineup you might want to give the wave to someone who is been there a while. Or not.
