Karolina Kolenko
It was exciting experience! I did surfing for the first time and I stood up on the board! Instructors was very helpful and positive guys. For the group of 7 people, there was 2 of them. I definitely can recommend this school!
Janine Oelofse
This morning 15 of us ranging from 55yrs old to 5yrs old arrived at Surfshack SUP in Simon’s Town excited and nervous. The team from Surfshack were amazing, the introduction mixed with humour put us all at ease. Their professionalism ensured all 15 of us stayed together, felt safe and had a great time on our paddle. Thank you for a fantastic session, looking forward to the next 1.
Rene Bruwer
