david theaud17/08/2023Je recommande très vivement cette école de surf. Nous avons suivi 3 séances de 2 heures la semaine dernière, accompagnés par la bienveillance, la pédagogie et la sympathie de Victor qui est un excellent moniteur. Très attentif avec ses "élèves". Toujours de très bons conseils qui ont permis de progresser sur ces trois séances. Merci à lui et à toute l'équipe. David.Cédric06/08/2023Découverte du surf pour moi. Malgré des conditions météo difficiles la qualité de l'accompagnement et l'enthousiasme des moniteurs ont permis de réaliser ma première glisse debout. Je recommande chaudement !Guylène LE MOIGNE26/07/2023Formidable école de surf: tous, enfants-jeunes-adultes, sont accueillis avec bonne humeur et simplicité, et chacun est guidé selon ses possibilités. Quelle bonne idée, il y a 20 ans! Mercis à Erwan!svend walter17/07/2023École de char a voile. Laurent, super moniteur, pédagogue et patient. Super run !Nati Ma12/07/2023They advertise surf lessons with German speaking teacher, but actually not the group courses for 45 EUR, only private lessons for 100 EUR - very dissapointing. They truely told me that my son (10 years) could join a group course with an English speaking teacher and I could stay close to the beach for two ours to translate - no joke…Alexandre Durand01/06/2023Nous avons passé un super moment en compagnie de Victor. Pendant ce cours il a été de très bon conseil, on s'est vu progresser entre le début et la fin de la séance. Toujours présent, à l'écoute et très sympa. Merci !Manon Bénéat30/05/2023Super cours d'initiation avec Victor qui est très pédagogue, on a passé un super moment avec lui 😊 ! Grâce à ses conseils, j'ai pu tenir sur la planche et prendre quelques vagues, à refaire !!Judith Schmiedel25/09/2021Super location to learn surfing. The school is situated directly at the beach so you don't have to carry the boards very far. The lady in the office speaks french and english very well. You have the opportunity to rent wetsuits and boards. The reason why i only give 3 stars although the school, the location and the goodwill deserve 5 stars, is that the behavior of our trainer was far from acceptable from my point of view. In advance, I specificly asked for lessons in english twice before arriving as my boyfriend is not fluent in french. However, when arriving, the trainer asked me to translate his instructions for my boyfriend as well as a unrelated group of 4 german kids! Granted, I agreed to translate as I do speak French quite passable and was eager to learn to surf. The first day passed and everything worked kind of ok, although I was lacking instructions from his side and did not find the lesson particularly focussed. On the following day, though I was asked by the trainer if I do not understand him properly as I made the same mistake several times (as a beginner). He then went on complain that it is so stressfull for him to first speak in french and then repeat it in english to make sure I get it and that the kids don't stay as a group around him (I mean they are kids on holidays!). I have to admit that this spoiled the fun for me. Obviously, our trainer was asked too much of, but I payed money to be proper trained and not to be treated like this especially when doing the translation for him! In response, we cancelled our third lesson and just borrowed wetsuits and boards.louise van mechelen24/07/2020Amazing board surf for low price!
