Belle expérience malgré une mer très tonique Mais ce n’est pas à cause des organisateurs ! Belle rencontre avec des passionnés. Ils ont recherché le meilleur spot pour que l’activité soit agréable, de bons conseils, un coté pro rassurant. Le rhum avant de partir est bienvenu après « tant d’effort » Merci à cette nouvelle équipe. Nous reviendrons…dans 6 ans ?
