My partner and I loved our week at safa surf/yoga. From the staffs hospitality to the surf lessons, there was nothing to complain about. My partner was a beginner and I an intermediate and with the help from the Fawas's surf theory, the coaches and the video analysis, we were both able to progress our surfing.

Had a wonderful surf camp experience at Safa, with its structured surf teaching, skilled & generous-hearted team, and beautiful oceanfront location! Fawas led the camp excellently, ensuring that activities were well-organized and any issues were resolved.

We had an amazing week at SAFA and will hopefully return one day! The surfing was very fun and we improved a lot, the video analysis sessions with Fawas were exceptional for improving technique. There was a great atmosphere around the camp, we made loads of friends

I had an incredible stay at this surf camp and would highly recommend it! The location is absolutely perfect, right on the beach, and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean from the room was amazing. The whole place is peaceful, calm, and perfect for fully disconnecting. The yoga classes were excellent, and the surf lessons were just as great.
