The Surf Monitor

My name is Sylvain, your state-certified BPJEPS surf instructor and holder of the PSEl First Aid Certificate,
passionate surfer since the age of 10.
I have always lived to the rhythm of the waves. First a national and international competitor during my youth, I quickly traveled around the world to discover new horizons and meet great people.
It was therefore quite natural that I became a surf instructor in 2013 in order to teach my passion. I decided, in 2018, to open my SG surf school to share my vision of surfing and pass on my experience.
