点评:This is my second trip with Surf Expedition with Sebastien, Dian, and the crew of local surf coaches! I loved it so much the first time, I brought 4 friends with me this time!
We had a great week of waves at their regular, amazing break. We could have gone elsewhere if the swell changed - so many options!
Long rides and easy take-offs and paddle outs make this my favorite surf spot ever, and all on a warm water left hand point break. I’m a mountain dweller, so I don’t surf often, but between the beginner/intermediate-friendly waves, the amazing instruction in and out of the water, and the twice daily sessions, my skills and comfort came back quickly and I was able to jump to my next level by the end of the week. I’m even staying in locally for three weeks to keep surfing!
And, the food...it’s simply amazing. Dian is a master chef and every meal was amazingly creative, in-depth, and made from scratch with super fresh everything. She was even able to prepare dairy-free meals for me! It’s actually hard to say what’s better, the food or the surfing! Maybe both?!
I’ll also deeply appreciate their commitment to hiring locals; surf coaches, the photographer, the massage therapist, and the kitchen assistant all grew up in the tight-knit Pilon/Pavones community. Each one of them was exceptional - friendly, happy, and they clearly love their work and where they live.
As they note, any training you do will pay off and increase your fun factor in the water.
Finally, don’t let age be a barrier. As a 60 year-old who is super active in all the mountain sports, the transition to surfing was very attainable!
Pura Vida!
翻译:这是我第二次参加Surf Expedition的冲浪之旅,这次的教练是Sebastien、Dian和他们当地的冲浪教练团队!第一次的体验太棒了,这次我带了四个朋友一起来!
我们在他们常去的绝佳浪点度过了完美的一周。如果浪况有变化,我们也可以去其他地方——选择太多了!
绵长的浪程、轻松的起乘和划水,让这里成为我最爱的冲浪地点,而且还是温暖水域的左手定点浪。我平时住在山里,所以不常冲浪,但这里适合初学者和中级水平的浪,水上水下的指导都非常出色,每天还有两次冲浪课程,我的冲浪技巧和舒适度很快就恢复了,到周末的时候,我的水平已经提升到了下一个阶段。我甚至打算在当地待上三个星期,继续冲浪!
还有,这里的食物……简直太棒了。Dian是一位烹饪大师,每一餐都极富创意,用料考究,而且全部都是用超级新鲜的食材亲手烹制的。她甚至还能为我准备不含乳制品的餐食!说起来真难分伯仲,是美食更胜一筹还是冲浪更棒!或许两者兼得?!
我还要特别感谢他们坚持雇用当地人;冲浪教练、摄影师、按摩师和厨房助理都成长于皮隆/帕沃内斯这个紧密团结的社区。他们每个人都非常出色——热情友好、快乐开朗,显然热爱自己的工作和生活。
正如他们所说,任何训练都会有所回报,并能提升你在水中的乐趣。
最后,不要让年龄成为障碍。作为一个60岁、热爱所有山地运动的人,我发现自己完全可以胜任冲浪这项运动!
纯粹生活!
