The whole experience was perfect, starting in a lovely village and going on foot from there. Wetsuits were more than a match for winter seas! We wanted big jumps and got them, but zero pressure from Ziggy, who just gave us the confidence to jump in knowing he's checked everything out already. I'd happily go back with my kids one day!”
