We had such a great time at Nika Paddle surf camp that it is hard to express it in words.

We learned a lot from Leo because he was an amazing teacher. During the camp, I felt like I was getting better at surfing and I was getting more comfortable.

The place where we stayed was also excellent.

I had the best time ever! Highly recommended
