We tried beginner's class at the surfing school on our last stay in fuvahmulah. It was great experience, a lot of laughter and in the end both of us succeeded to stand up in our way (laugh)...

Kahufey and his team gave us an excellent intro to surfing and now we are hooked! It was a great mix of theory and the basic techniques and then immediately into the water for practice. While in the water, they were with us for each wave, giving us tips and helping us improve quickly. Never thought it would happen but we managed to stand up on the board on our first lesson.
