    My daughter (6 years old) and I had an awesome surf lesson experience with Yoan. We did 4 small group sessions and a private lesson. He was great to schedule with and every lesson was fantastic. Yoan has the wonderful skill of being a great technique coach while making sure that everyone is enjoying the experience. Yoan clearly loves teaching and it shows. He helped us have a wonderful surfing experience, we learned a lot, we improved and (perhaps best of all) my daughter wants to surf again (and again!)!

    Yoan was great!!! He took us to the spot perfect for the days conditions and our comfort level. He was funny, encouraging and pointed out ways to improve our skills where we needed it. An observant and skilled coach for both beginners and intermediate surfers.

    Yoan was an awesome instructor and very friendly too! We were in Tahiti during the Christmas/New Year holiday and many of the surf school/rental locations did not even respond to my inquiries. Yoan was quick to respond via email and WhatsApp and arranging the lesson was super easy. He picked up and dropped off at the hotel which was very convenient as well! Surf Boards were in great condition and the location was perfect for beginners …offering smaller “whitewash” or slightly larger waves if you are learning quickly and ready for more challenge.
