Excellent surf instructor, he summarized the most important points at the beginning and then went straight into the water to try it out.

So far I have done 10 sessions here and had 3 surf instructors who were all absolutely great, totally dedicated, motivating, friendly and patient. They responded to each student individually, recognized the weak points immediately, gave many helpful practical tips and also explained the theory very clearly. Facilities, location and equipment are also very good. After I have already done a few courses elsewhere, I can say in retrospect that it has brought me a huge step forward - many thanks to the entire team - I am completely satisfied :)
