Had we read the reviews before we booked I would had been concerned, but thankfully our experience was a good one.
We booked our 2 hour lessons on our last day, which is not the thing to do, try this early in your holiday then you can rent a board and give it a go on your own, we wished we did!
We thought it was quite well organised and friendly, first we were given the dry run lesson as a group, then it was the practical lesson with one instructor for the two of us (Pete, good guy). We are both in our late 40's and fairly fit, we were surprised how physically demanding it was (but then we had just spent over two weeks of doing bugger all).Both of us managed to stand on the board several times which was captured by the photographer who was very good ($30 for the disk).
The location was ideal for the beach and if you wanted to rent a board in future it was a perfect set up.
