Jo is the owner of the surf house and the guide for the "surf guiding" part: he has been exploring the spots of the Basque Country and the Landes for over 20 years... so he will be able to advise you best on the boards to try as well as on the best spots in the Basque Country.
Manu is the instructor who takes care of the beginner lessons: his goal is to help you progress until you can ride "green waves" all by yourself!
