“Geweldige dag gehad. Goede kwaliteit fietsen en vriendelijke service. Fietsen stonden klaar, werden op maat gemaakt. We kregen de routekaart mee met tips voor bezienswaardigheden en voor leuke koffietentjes en om te eten. De tocht was goed te doen en we hebben genoten van de prachtige omgeving. Het surfen was super. Mooie locatie, goede instructeurs, gezellige sfeer, goed materiaal en goed geregeld. Ja de surfles hebben we aan het strand de rest van de dag doorgebracht voordat we weer op ons gemak terug gingen”

The lesson itself was fantastic. Ivan was a nice and enthusiastic teacher who fits in well. Despite my own physical discomfort, I experienced the feeling on the board. And let's be honest: that is 'amazing'! Conclusion: take a (private) lesson! (it is more than worth it!)”
