  • No you do not. You can come even if you’ve never surfed before. You will be spending time on a jet ski moving at very high needs, and some level of phsical fitness is helpful. However, our drivers can help assess just how much intensity you can handle. If you feel out of shape or tired, they can take you on a more mellow experience.

  • Photography is possible. A first attempt presents challenges. Success often yields to the waves. Your camera demands absolute protection from the sea. These crucial details are covered in our workshop.
