Do the waves suit all surf abilities? 

Yes, there are an abundance of world class waves directly out front, suitable for all levels. Plus at your disposal are two speedboats and experienced surf guides, ready to get you to any of the 25 waves in the region. We’ll take you to the breaks that best suit your ability, whenever you want.
