My instructor was very patient and kind, he explained things so well. They were also very accommodating with me as I had food poisoning the day of my booking and allowed me to reschedule for another time. I was able to catch and ride a few waves and felt such an enjoyable experience for my first time. Highly recommend this surf school ☺️🌊
