Christoph – Austria

It was a super nice day at the beach. Both instructors were amazing and since I already had a bit of experience one of then (Jayden) took me out to teach me a bit about surfing etiquette, reading waves and trying to catch some bigger ones. Even though I did not manage to catch one it was still a super nice day and this course is perfect for both beginners and people who already had a few lessons before. Can highly recommend
