As a fellow surfer, I have to say, it depends on how you heal. I surfed in Bali 12 days after some work and it had pretty much healed before this so there are no signs of any damage to it. Are you having the whole thing done or just the outline? If it is the outline only, I personally wouldn't worry too much. However, if there is any colour involved, including solid black, I would be more cautious for sure. Make sure you use plenty of high factor sun cream as well as UV will fade the colour of a fresh tattoo very quickly.
Where you going in The Canaries? I'm doing my annual Corralejo trip on the 21st Nov. Actually, I've just realised, this is only 10 days after my next session but mine is dotwork only and will have healed pretty well.
