点评:I booked a surf lesson with this company and made it very clear in advance that I’m a beginner. What I got wasn’t a surf lesson...
They took me to Namotu Lefts, where the waves were far too powerful for my level. To be clear: bigger waves aren’t the main issue, the issue is that no one actually taught me anything. I was basically told to "just go out there and surf.” I tried, but it was clearly beyond my level and didn’t feel safe. After two scary wipeouts (under the wave for a long time..), I had to stop.
This was especially disappointing because I’d spoken with them about doing around 10 lessons over 10 days as my surfing trip in Fiji (this was 1 month before arriving in Fiji). They assured me this is okay and we can arrange that. In the end it became one day and then never again, because after that experience I didn’t trust them. When I asked who would be giving the lesson, someone was sent with me initially, but he quickly stopped because he was “too tired to surf,” and that was that, no instruction, no coaching, nothing.
My impression is that they mainly provide equipment and transport to breaks like Namotu/Cloudbreak, but no surfing lesssons? I felt misled and completely disappointed by this company.
On top of that, communication throughout was poor and at times came across as rude, when I got to Fiji.
I do NOT recommend this company to beginners looking for real surf lessons!
翻译:我通过这家公司预订了冲浪课程,并且提前明确表示我是初学者。结果,我得到的根本不是冲浪课……
他们带我去了纳莫图左手浪区,那里的浪对我来说太大了。说实话,浪大不是主要问题,问题是根本没人教我任何东西。他们基本上就是让我“自己去冲浪”。我试了,但显然超出了我的能力范围,感觉很不安全。两次惊险的落水(在浪下待了很久……)之后,我不得不放弃。
这尤其令人失望,因为我之前跟他们谈过,想在斐济的冲浪之旅中上十天左右的课(这距离我抵达斐济还有一个月)。他们向我保证没问题,可以安排。结果,只上了一天课,以后再也不去了,因为这次经历让我对他们失去了信任。当我询问谁会教我冲浪课时,他们一开始派了一个人来,但他很快就因为“太累了不能冲浪”而停止了,就这样,没有指导,没有训练,什么都没有。
我的感觉是,他们主要提供设备和前往像纳莫图/云破浪这样的冲浪点的交通,但并不提供冲浪课程?我感觉被误导了,对这家公司非常失望。
更糟糕的是,整个过程沟通很差,到了斐济之后,他们有时甚至态度很差。
我绝对不推荐这家公司给想要学习真正冲浪课程的初学者!
