Requirements & program
The level of the participants should be equivalent to BCU 3, though it is not necessary to be certified.

The course starts, after a short get-together of the group, with a theoretical introduction before we hit the waves. The beach in front of the Hilton Hotel is perfect for surfing and there are interesting paddle-spots for advanced paddlers around the corner waiting to be explored.
