Alessandro was the best coach I’ve had, I’ve been surfing for 1.5 years and have had a couple of other coaches during that time and none of them explained technique the way Ale did. I had a set back with my surfing a while ago and Ale helped me to regain my confidence back. Not only did he thoroughly explain technique but he also made me aware of the mindfulness that comes with surfing, breathing techniques, and to just fully relax and be one with the ocean. I went home and practiced the technique all night and the next morning I went for a surf and absolutely nailed my pop ups and was able to paddle out past the break. Ale listened to what I needed during my session and I felt very comfortable with him. I highly recommend Alessandro for a session at any level! 🙂
J’ai appris à me lever sur la planche et tourner en deux cours. J’ai aussi appris à gérer ma planche lorsqu’il y a du courant. Tu es encourageant et de très bons conseils et tu nous félicite lorsqu’on y arrive. (Ce qui nous donne envie de se donner encore plus.) Les explications du début sont rapides, claires et précises. Continue comme ça.
The surf lessons with Alessandro were amazing and I feel like I have improved so much training with him. He shared great and detailed theory knowledge which made it easy to apply in the water. Paddling out together made me feel safe and more confident and getting personal feedback while being in the water was really helpful. In group lessons he made sure to pay attention to every person giving individual feedback while and after the lessons so overall I can say that Alessandro is an amazing teacher who help me a lot in my learning process 🙂
On a beaucoup aimé ta bonne humeur et la simplicité de tes explications théoriques pour comprendre l’océan et la vague. Et surtout surtout, ton regard critique et précis sur des DETAILS de positions ou mouvements à corriger pour progresser en pratique ! C’est vraiment ce qui fait la différence entre un bon et mauvais prof 🙂 merci
I loved you as a coach because you actually went in the water with us and helped a lot by improving our surf skills. You managed to help out everyone and not just focused on a few kids. I definitely have to mention the best thing about you, is your attitude always positive and motivating, what made ever surf session with you so fun and memorable. Because of you I fell in love with the sport and keep on going surfing when ever I can. In my opinion there is nothing really that you can do better, you for sure the best coach I ever had. Thank you so much
Le cours était super. Tu as pris le temps d’expliquer comment était le lieu dans lequel nous allions surfer. Cela aide les débutants comme moi qui ne connaissent pas bien l’océan. Durant les cours tu allais à l’eau avec les élèves (et ça c’est cool et rassurant). J’ai beaucoup appris avec Bamboo et toi en si peu de temps. Bon courage !
