I had been attempting to learn to surf on my own but when I hit a plateau, I knew it would be best to get some help from an instructor.
I researched all the SB schools and iSurf had the best reviews.
I was paired up with Zach for my private lesson and it was wonderful. He has amazing energy and would make anyone feel instantly comfortable. Despite some not so great habits I had unwittingly been practicing, Zach's coaching got me to the point that I was finally able to stand up and ride several waves during the lesson which was such an incredibly exciting experience.
I'll do some practicing on my own for a bit then possibly book another private to get some feedback on progression and take it up a notch.
Private lessons really are the way to go since you get all the attention and this makes the most of your time. It's well worth the price.
