Our surf instructors were great! They helped us catch the waves and paddle us out. There were a lot of waves that were really fun! We surfed in a shallow area though which had a lot of rocks/coral that cut my boyfriends back and my legs when we fell off the surfboard. But the thrill of standing up on the board was awesome!
We had such a great time during our lessons! Our instructors Rush & (we forget the other one’s name) were amazing and made us feel so welcome. I would recommend this place and especially these instructors in the future to anyone!
Mel Tyler and Tessa are goated teachers
It was a great experience the instructors are awesome
Instructors were attentive and made sure we were all safe. Coach Brandon was great.
