I loved the experience! I'm not good yet haha and the waves were relentless. But it was a really fun and cool way to learn more about surfing.

We had a great time with Tim as our guide. He explained everything very well and was making the 2 hours in the cold water very enjoyable. We learned a lot and smashed our first waves. Highly recommend.
