Overseeing all matters related to 'productions,' you'll often find her either surfing or working away behind her computer screen. Still waters run deep.

Super coole und sehr persönliche Surfschule! Die Coaches geben sich viel Mühe und geben die entscheidenden Tipps zum Erfolg. Eine faire Absprache über die Bedingungen und eine entspannte Kommunikation vor den Kursen war immer gegeben. Gerade auch für Intermediates ist FinsFirst die perfekte Anlaufstelle. Wir kommen wieder ! 🌊🏄

Vandaag een eerste surf les genomen! Ondanks dat het erg heftig was in de zee heeft Ollie mij erg goed geholpen! Heb zelfs even op mijn plank kunnen staan! Erg geduldig en een fijne vibe! Zeer vriendelijk en meertalig! Duits Engels en Nederlands! *Recommend for your first lesson!

Want to fall in love with surfing and do it with the right technique? Then come to this school. Teachers are there with you all the time, they support you even during breakdowns due to an untaken wave. It’s not really about the lessons, but it’s also about the philosophy. Oliver, Ayran, Santiago, thank you for the best lessons. Gonna miss you guys!
