Having an instructor be by my side and encourage me helped the surfing process a lot. I would have been much more hesitant learning without an expert.

Super expérience !
Alma_B, Jul 2023
Nous avons passé un super moment , le prof qui nous a accueilli était très sympa et très pédagogue. Nous avions peur d'avoir froid mais finalement nous avons tellement été pris par l'activité que nous en avons oublié la température de l'eau ! L'équipement fournit est très efficace. A faire absolument si vous passez en Californie !

Excellent

Les coachs de surfs ont été vraiment super, ils nous ont enseigné la base des courant et des vagues pour surfer et être en sécurité dans la mer. Puis une fois la partie sur la plage terminé ils nous ont accompagné un à la fois vers une réussite de surfer sur une vague.
