A taster course for absolute beginners. The team from the surf school is very friendly and you get a little insight. There would be no time for more. If you have a good balance, you can even stand on the board in this course. For those who can't make it to stand still, there is still enough fun to experience. A really nice experience.
Here you learn the basics, you don't get to stand more than a few times at the end of the course, but it is also sufficient for the fun factor. With the journey to and from the beach, however, you have to reckon with a total of> 4 hours.
Very fun experience. My boyfriend and I learned a lot, our teacher was nice and knowledgeable. Diving into the ocean and experiencing the sensation of catching the first waves on a surfboard was unforgettable. Strongly recommended!
Awesome first experience of windsurfing! Got good basic knowledge and a decent amount of time on the water!
Our instructor, Emil, was very kind, patient and passionate about surfing. He was great to learn from!
