I took a private surf lesson with Vince and he was the man! I had taken a lesson or two before and watched videos about popping up and practiced trying to get ahead of the game a little bit. Vince told me to do some things that went against the grain from things I had previously heard (going to your knees first, grabbing the rails, etc.). I listened to Vince and I was standing up in no time.
By applying what Vince taught me I was able to go back out a few more days and catch waves on my own, even moving down to a smaller board on my last day. I would also recommend getting the photo package. I got some great videos and pictures to remember my first waves!

Aloha, Navyox! Belated "Mahalo" for your kind 5 star review! Sounds like you are a very diligent learner by studying on your own by finding some video instructions prior to coming out to take lessons with us! We are very glad that the Vince took a good care of you and you were able to surf on your own afterword! Congratulations! We hope to come back soon! Please remember we have surfboard rentals also! Mahalo!
