Customer Reviews

5/5

"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... 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!"

5/5

" 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 🙂 "
