"Steffi and Brad were extremely helpful - sorting out surf trips, arranging social events (BBQs), and transport to and from the hotel. We had a fantastic time and did two of the trips (1 surf only and 1 Dongwe Doughnuts trip). Both were very well organized and extremely good fun - especially the underwater wing experience - that's a must! Thanks again guys for all your hard work and we look forward to seeing you very soon"

"Really want to recommend them for a great surfing experience. Steffi and Brad were really awesome!! We went on a surf trip with Brad and Floyd and had a great time (for beginners and advanced surfers), the teaching and the equipment were great. One of our best days on the island is definitely worth it!!"
