Christian is an excellent teacher. He gives detailed feedback and has eyes like a hawk spotting your errors and giving you pointers on how to improve. He is also incredibly patient and encouraging when it doesn’t go to plan. My autistic son loves his lessons and asks to go surfing with Christian every time we are down and Christian easily adapts his lessons to be able to focus on all of us with our differing needs (my balance, my son’s autism, my other son’s incessant questions).
He teaches in small groups to be able to give focused attention, and although he takes a board out with him so he can get to you quickly if he needs to he doesn’t catch waves himself (unlike other teachers we saw) so he can give all the waves to his students. His work ethic is impeccable.
And on top of all this he is just plain fun and his enthusiasm for surfing is infectious. We all caught multiple waves and felt really proud of achievement. I really think he is the best surf teacher in Barbados.
