5.00This surfing lesson was amazing, except that it lasted for less than 3 hours only (it was shown as 4 hours in Viator). Thanks so much to my excellent instructor Kai, who gave very clear teachings and took good care of us as beginners. It is important to remember the movement from lying to standing on the surfboard and the posture to keep our balance when we stand up. Overall, I can’t believe how fun surfing is and I could stand up on the surfboard and ride my first wave!!😆
Good vibes 🤙🏼

5.00I had so much fun! Matt gave us a very good introduction. Then it was on water. I am an absolute beginner but was on the board after a few attempts! I can only recommend it.

5.00I had such a fun surf lesson and I’d totally recommend this surf school! The vibe was super relaxed and friendly, and even as a beginner I felt really comfortable. A special thanks to Simon our instructor, he was awesome! He helped everyone, was super enthusiastic, and gave individual tips to help us improve. His enthusiasm and encouragement made the lesson so much fun.
