After 2 months doing the Surf Development Course, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The lessons were exceptional, and the progress I made was incredible and got my surf instructor qualification at the end of it. The location is perfect, the rooms are always clean, and the staff truly made it feel like family. I’ll be back for sure!
