“Would recommend this 100x over. Our instructor Dan was fantastic! He gave us a very good safety briefing and they let us have a go at surfing. Our group was also small which I enjoyed. I would recommend booking earlier time slots as the beach did start to get crowded towards the end of our lesson.”

I hope to come back and learn some more soon. I was scared he’d get annoyed at me for not getting it right, but he was so patient. Told me where I was going wrong, praised me on what I did right. He was the perfect tutor in my opinion. Thank you for my lesson I had so much fun today and can’t wait to practice more.”
