Il est très sympa, patient et donne de très bons conseils pour progresser. Je recommande vivement de faire une journée de surf avec lui.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked this for me and my partner the night before. Whilst I had no delusion that I’d be any good at surfing, I thought he would be and that we would both find it fun and enjoy it. Us and 2 other people were picked up by Deano and 3 other family members/friends of theirs, and this made for a very close knitted experience! It felt like we were just having a day out at the beach with friends - the drive there and back was enjoyable in the back of a jeep; like hanging out with people you’ve known for a while. The actual surf lessons weren’t too long but detailed and informative. We also got treated to a small but lovely tasting BBQ on the beach. Deano was funny and reminded me of a drill sergeant - he sounded strict, but it was all jokes! I was laughing and smiling constantly. When it was clear I was the slow learner of the group he gave me extra help and I managed to stand up a few times and ride! Highly recommend, even as first timers. The beach was quiet and not too crowded as well.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was just wonderful! We spent five weeks in Australia, and the kids wanted to have a surf lesson the day before we left the country.

Jay Jay was so kind and managed to organise a last-minute surf lesson at Bondi Beach for us. Everything was perfect, from the pick-up in Sydney to seeing the kids actually surfing after their two-hour lesson.

Deano was incredibly kind and professional, and absolutely wonderful with the children. They loved every minute of it!

Thank you so much for making their last day in Australia so special! 💙🌊🤙🏼
