Experiencia perfecta. Honestamente fuimos con la idea de hacer una única clase de iniciación con ellos y a partir de ahí ir por nuestra cuenta, pero nos gustó tanto el trato y el servicio que nos ofrecieron que nos vemos obligados a volver. Aprendimos muchísimo y nos sentimos en todo momento super bien atendidos.
En nuestro caso especial mención a Pedro, ya que fue nuestro instructor, simplemente nos pareció un profesional de 10 y conectaba mucho con los alumnos. Pero estamos seguros que todo el staff está a la altura por lo poco que pudimos ver.

Los monitores son excelentes. Te ayudan, se preocupan por ti y al cabo de unas clases se convierten casi en amigos. El resto de alumnos también son muy agradables y amables. El material siempre está cuidado y en buen estado. Sin duda, volveré ya que he disfrutado muchísimo estas clases.

We had a blast learning from Abel! He was upbeat, fun, and genuinely excited to teach us how to surf. I've never met a friendlier person. And as far as teaching goes, he went above and beyond to get us standing on the surf board. This was an all-around great experience and we would highly recommend booking a lesson (or 2!).

Un equipazo de 10!! El material, tabla y neopreno, es de muy buena calidad, la clase fue excelente y siempre muy bien acompañados. Las instalaciones están en muy buen estado y recomiendo que todo el que se quiera iniciar en el mundo del surf, se acerque a la playa del Port Ginesta, es una playa excelente, todo arena y muy controlada por el equipo.
