Your sense of adventure

"We were a family of 5 who booked our really easy lesson.
They gave us clear instructions on where to meet which was helpful.
Our instructor Alex was super friendly and helpful when we arrived. He gave us easy-to-understand instructions on all aspects of learning to surf.
In the water Alex was amazing, helping each of us catch a wave. He made it enjoyable and all of us had a great time.
And we all managed to surf 🏄‍♀️

I would highly recommend this retreat."
