“Super fun! The surf instructor, Ali, was sooo nice and great at explaining. I felt comfortable and safe in the water! I booked this as a female solo traveler who had only gone surfing once before, and this was a perfect excursion for that. Ali also was very encouraging and respectful! When I said I was done, she was like alright let's get out of the water, which I appreciated! Plus, I stood up on the board which I have never done before! Definitely worth it for a beginner surfer :)!”
