Good experience. - The instructor was well experienced and helpful. The two hours went by in a flash it seems. Do make sure you're in good physical shape. Swimming back out after each try takes effort. It was a good experience overall and I got one or two almost good rides in.

Perfect Surfing Morning - It was a great experience. The first 20/30 minutes the teacher explained us the basics about surf like how we have to stay, the movements , … We spend the rest of the two hours in the sea, trying to stay over the board, having a lot of fun. The teacher was incredibly nice, explaining all as best as he could.
