The Mardelsurf School is an NGO and surf training center that is a pioneer in accessibility in Argentina. Throughout its history, it has trained more than 16,000 students from all over the country.

The idea is, even for a little while, that they can surf a wave; living that mix of “joy, fear and achievement, all in one experience,” as South African surfer Shaun Tomson once defined it. The effect on the spirits of these people and their families is something that Rubiño himself never ceases to surprise.
