The team were fantastic, the attendees were split into small groups and were given the input needed before heading into the sea for surfing supported at a level appropriate to the learner. This was my first time surfing and I had great fun even if it was a bit rough ("not beginner waves"). The team were careful to select waves appropriate to the skill level of the surfer.

The surf instructors were very nice and made my wife's first surfing experience very easy and successful.

Great instructions

Megan_S, Jul 2023

Clear and friendly instruction. Plenty of time in the water. Suitable for absolute beginners. The small waves were the only thing holding is back!

Ich hatte den Kurs um 11 und einen super netten und engagierten Lehrer. Witzige Spiele zum aufwärmen, dann etwas Theorie und die Sicherheitsregeln. Dann ging’s direkt ins Wasser wo wir (auch wenn für mich die 2 Stunden schnell verflogen sind…) richtig viel Zeit hatten uns auszuprobieren. Jeder bekam professionelle Unterstützung und selbst ich als blutige Anfängerin konnte so einige Wellen stehen. Kann den Kurs wärmsten weiterempfehlen und wäre gern noch öfter gekommen.
