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! 💙🌊🤙🏼

"I did the 2 day surf camp with 4 other girls and had the most incredible time with Deano, Elmo and Justin. They are very accommodating, loads of fun, and awesome instructors. They had all 5 of us standing up on the first day! The food was delicious, the camp was perfectly located between a lake and beach, and all of the other surrounding beaches are stunning. I highly recommend these guys! You'll get the perfect Aussie surfer experience. "

"I have to admit this was one of my favourite activities whilst I was in Sydney and felt it offered really good value for money. The tutor was patient, enthusiastic and we were taken to an excellent beach for those who are new to surfing. We were provided with a healthy and plentiful lunch, some great photo's were taken and the tutor made a real effort to make sure that everyone was talking and having an enjoyable time. . "

"We took a one day adventure with Waves Surf School and had an awesome day. Deano was great & crew were great to be with for the day! Look forward to going back for a multi-day adventure and would definitely recommend the one day school for a great one day experience. Thanks Deano for the Great Memories! "
