Fantastic! Great teacher
He is a very professional surf coach who starts off by teaching the basics to give you an understanding of the waves, water and surf before getting into the water.
He was always patient and from the first day I could stand up and ride a wave
Now I go back for a session and still he can really help me each time
Highly recommended!

He showed an amazing ability to connect with young people.
He was relaxed and easy going, and….. amazingly, he had both kids standing on the birds on their first wave!!!
