5.00Hey! I had a class with Johnathan, it was amazing! He was very professional, responsible and funny at the same time. He showed me techniques and than we turned it into practice in the water. It was great experience and super fun time. I recommend class with Johnathan to whoever wants to learn how to surf with chill and safe atmosphere.
