* Hi Sara / Tom, Hope all is well. Just wanted to say thank you and let you know how much Lou and I really enjoyed our surf lesson on Friday. We weren’t much good (I blame the choppy waves) but had a great day and learnt a lot. We’re back in London now but if we ever come back to the island we’ld love to book another course with you some day. Thanks again! Rosie and Lou (October 2011)

* Hi Tom & Sara,
We had the best week ever in the Fuerteventura, the one of our super time in the island was time spent with 7 Island Surf. For Peter it was a great experience and he does talk a lots about it.
He said we will go definitely back and he will do surfing for longer. He thinks three days was not enough for him now :-) We are more than happy to know Tom he was a great teacher and of course you because as Tom said you are great with the paper works and also we met your children we seen a lot of beautiful beaches becasue Tom took us to one of the beaches but I forgot the name now we felt like in paradise .... I Will go to TripAdvisor reviews and will say how great time we had with you ! :-)
Hope to see you again
Kind regards

* Dear Tom,
It was a great week Surfing (or "learning to surf") with you ! Thanks for showing us all those great places and surfspots ! Fuerteventura is beautiful ! If you ever come to Switzerland, let us know and we will take you snowboarding. We will come back for another Surf-Holiday with you, but only if Dave + Alistaire (Scotts) are not here :-) Just kidding ! They were a lot of fun too ! Don´t forget to eat tons of lollipops, they are healthy ! Bye bye, Tschuss, Carole, Patricia & Bina ( March 2011)
* Thanks Tom for yet another fantastic Surf experience. You´re the best instructor ever ! Amanda :-) ( January 2011)
* Dear Tom ! Thanks for the perfect teaching ! Today was the best session EVER !!! Jules (January 2011)
* Hi Sara, Thanks a lot to you and Tom for a great time surfing. It was great being with Tom -- first time (in six surfing trips!!) anyone has actually explained to kids/wife about rip-ties, how to catch waves etc. Has really stimulated Alistair to consider taking a surfing holiday in the future (his shoulder is better by the way - tell Tom!). Nat is in hysterics as i now talk of having done dogpigs etc. on holiday!! Strangely - at the moment tom drove off and waved to cintya - still in water - she got stung (we think - by a jelly fish?). We may come back next year -- not sure at all - but Tom and 7 island and the Cotillo fiesta were good inducements!! Take care - will see if cintya can send you a few photos... abrazos, Andy (September 2010)
* Just like to say thanks for an amazing 3days surfing, Matt and I had a fab time and wish we got another day in but we would def be coming back one day soon. We sure learnt a lot and wish we was still there. Hollie (July 2010)
* Thanks Tom & Gregg for the great Surf lessons ever !!! We will come back soon to learn more !!! Now it´s time to go home and learn pop-ups :-) All the best, Fabienne and Nadine. (August 2009)
* Lieve Tom & Sara,
Het was weer een geweldige week hier in Fuerteventura. We hebben weer een hoop bijgeleerd. Eindelijk ook de ongebroken golven kunnen pakken en gevoeld hoe het échte surfen is. SUPER ! Tot een volgende keer, liefs Ronald & Marieke.
Translation : Dear Tom & Sara, it was yet another fantastic week here in Fuerteventura. Once again we learnt a lot. Finally we were able to also catch the broken waves and feel what it is like to really surf. SUPER ! Till next time, love Ronald & Marieke. (August 2009)
* It´s been another amazing time here with you guys. We really enjoyed the holiday and we´ll be back ! Definately ! Thanks so much, Tom & Ami (April 2009)
* Tom & Sara,
What a week ! It´s been fabulous. Thank you so much for all your organising and coaching ! I have now got the surf and kitesurf bug - we´ll be back ! You guys are wonderfull and live in a fabulous place. Lou XX ( March 2009)
* Thanks to both of you for the hard work & flair which really made the week for me - despite the conditions. All the best - will recommend you to anyone heading out this way to surf. Esther (March 2009)
* Lieve Tom & Sara,
Heel erg bedankt voor de geode zorgen en de super gave surflessen. Aangezien ik nogal een langzame leerlinge ben kom ik in mei gewoon weer een weekje ! Ondertussen zal ik thuis oefenen met mijn pop-ups : iedere avond een setje van 10 pop-ups en dan gaat het de volgende keer hopelijk wat vloeiender : Dus tot de volgende keer ! Liefs, Marieke (March 2009)
Translation:
Dear Tom & Sara. Thank you so much for the good care and super cool surf lessons. As I am such a slow learner I will be back in May for another week ! In the mean time I will be practising my pop-ups at home: each evening a set of 10 pop-ups and then hopefully next time things will go a bit easier : So see you
the next time. Love, Marieke.
* To Tom and Sara.
Thanks so much for a fantastic holiday ! I´ve really enjoyed the surfing and the relaxed vibe of Fuerte. All the best and I hope to see you again. Claire. (February 2009)
* Dear Tom & Sara.
Thank you both for another great holiday. It´s been great to jet away from the Scottish winter for a few days and to get a chance to surf the North Shore again. Your patience and hands on teaching technique is much appreciated and has improved my confidence and ability again. Thanks for a great
trip. I´ll start saving my euros and hopefully be back soon. Do get in touch if your Scotland trip ever happens. Cheers Alasdair. (February 2009)
* Dear Tom and Sara.
Thank you so much for all of your help in organising and providing everything for a great holiday (even the weather). All the advice was great and is stored away for next weekend when we´ll hit our own wonderful cold
Irish beaches. Brendan & Ellen. PS: we´ll be back to tackle the reef breaks. (February 2009)
* Thanks for being a really great teacher Tom and thanks to you Sara being patient while booking our holiday trips. It´s always great with you both here. See you in a couple of months. Boris (January 2009)
* Dear Sara and Tom (and Bob) !
We love to come to Fuerteventura, because of all of you guys. You make this place special. A big, big compliment to Sara : the organisation is great and also a big compliment to you Tom for your patience during the lessons. We always felt save with you. You should know, that everybody we met, told us how lucky we are that we learned "how to surf" : with you. Thanks to Bob for the last day and the valuable advice during our picknick in the bakery. Hope to see you all as soon as possible again. Steffi, Christiane and Natalie. (January 2009)
* Thank you both for such a fun week. Tom, thank you for your patience and understanding and making each day awesome ! Sara thank you for welcoming me into your home and looking after me so well as you did. Fuerteventura is a lovely place with even more lovely people. I´m definitely coming back in August and
can´t wait to pick up where I left off ! Thank you both so much. Lots of love, Gem XX (January 2009)
* Tom & Sara, Obviously we like it here, otherwise we would not come back so often (and come back so often in the future) : Eitherway, thank you again for the great holiday and we wish you all the best ! Christophe and Olly
(Nys-Brothers) (January 2009)
* Dear Tom, Sara and the kids, as usual we had a great time ! Slowly, but surely, we are progressing. Thank you for your great coaching, hospitality and the movies you showed about surfing. (we´ve got our goals set) We´ll definitely be returning as soon as possible, while at the meantime dreaming about the waves. Till next time, Iwan & Anita. (January 2009)
* Hi Guys, Just wanted to say a big thank you for our 5 days surfing last week. We had a really good week, loved the surfing and were really impressed with the instruction and a laid back but very professional set up. When we weren't being put through our paces in the water we had a great time chilling in town and checking out the people who can actually surf! Hopefully we'll be back another time. Kind Regards, Philippa and Allan. (December 2008)
* Salut à tous, How are you ? I wish you an happy new year, best wishes. First of all, thanks for your care. I 'm not good at compliment, so it's easier by e-mail. Thanks for your professionalism : organization, and the best of all the choice of the spot made by Tom (and Greg): always the better condition for pupils. I felt at ease with the group, thanks for the atmosphere made by both of you : care, gentleness, cool behavior, all that I like. So carry on doing this five stars service, I'm not concerned about the flourishment of your business (even with the crisis).
Bye, bye, take care. Will meet together another time I think. Pierre (December 2008)
* Dear Sara, Tom and Gregg ! The fantastic 4 are leaving ! Thank you for a fantastix week with a lot of fun and cool memories ! Danke fur die Perfekte Welle (10M) Heinz-Peter, Markus, Karina und Thomas (December 2008)
