Surf
Our commitment is to guarantee and teach you safety, as we consider it to be an important part of learning to surf. The students are provided with the best materials for the development and are all under the coverage of the civil liability and accident insurance required by the tourism department. We strive to teach our students not only to surf but also how to safely handle the waves independently. They not only have to know how to understand the sea, they have to admire it and respect it.
Our students would pick up their equipment at our plot, put on their wetsuits in the changing rooms and only have to walk a few meters to get to the sand.
