Summary: Etienne was really welcoming, available and so professional even if I made a mistake while booking. I'm really happy that at the end of our 2h class, i was able to stand on the board and really enjoy the waves! I've done classes before and I can say that it's really faster,easier and clearer with Etienne. Thank you!
