Summary: It was a fantastic and really fun experience! At the beginning we were a bit scared. We thought surfing was something too difficult for us. But in the end, it was easier than we expected and really for everyone. We were also afraid of the cold water, but with the wetsuits, after the first moment, we didn’t feel cold at all. We laughed a lot, we fell many times, maybe got a few hits here and there, but nothing serious. Just do it, don’t be afraid, decide and go! Our instructor Youssef was very funny and also very professional. Let’s say… he left us with a memory! Totally recommended.
