Highly recommended, very good experience as a first time surfer, the trainer is experienced and very calm

I had an amazing experience with Ama surf school, particularly with my very patient instructor, Akila. I was concerned that learning to surf for the first time in my 30s might be difficult but I was already riding waves into shore within 30 minutes of my lesson. Would highly recommend for anyone considering giving it a go!

Der Kunde soll so schnell wie mõglich mit sämtlicher Hilfestellung auf dem Board stehen wegen dem Erfolgserlebnis und der daraus resultierenden Wahrscheinlich, dass er weiter am Ball bleibt und weitere Stunden nimmt.. alles sehr unflexibel und fragen werden in der nächsten Stunde beantwortet.
Dennoch eine coole Erfahrung!
