“Instructors are very teenager- young. I overheard the other young Instructors betting that I wouldn’t last and they were hoping to end my session early. I would have preferred adult for this session. I asked to take a break and it seems like the young instructor lacked compassion. It kept asking me if I wanted to end my session because I wanted a break., which is not cool. The website said they had professional instructors but all I saw were kids as instructors who lacked professionalism.”

“This was one of the best things we have done and we have done most everything!! They give you about a 5 minute briefing but that is all you need You each have your own personal instructor and within minutes our entire family was able to stand and ....surf! You have two 45 minute sessions with a short break in between. You can buy a video and photos at the end if you wish. Would have rated this a 5 star but there were no snacks or drinks at the end as mentioned, and would have been nice to have. Fortunately we had brought our own beer.”

These people work so hard, are so kind and can have some good conversations with you during the conversation. During the lesson someone else also took photos and videos with a professional camera from the shore. We also got a long sleeve shirt for protection and could use the toilet to get changed and the open shower to wash off the sand. 10/10 recommend.”
