Super expérience! 🌊
1h30 de chutes mais une vraie victoire à la fin : je me suis levée sur la planche plusieurs fois ! Les profs sont passionnés, joyeux et attentifs ils m’ont permis un équilibre entre me guider et me permettre d’explorer à mon rythme en liberté !
Leurs conseils et leur gentillesses ont fait la différence.
Je repars avec le sourire et l’envie de revenir, tomber encore et encore, et progresser.
Muito obrigada por tudo 🩷🏄🏻♀️
