Excellent first lesson - Jillian, my instructor, was absolutely amazing! This was my very first lesson. I’m in my late 40s and not really athletic. Jillian helped me feel safe and comfortable the whole tour. She was funny and smart; she told some good stories about the area. Great morning on the water!
