My husband and I had a great lesson with Starr. She provided clear, easy to follow instruction and guidance, and while it was my first time surfing and my husband's second in a very long while, we were both able to stand up on our first attempt in the water.
The beach location is quite busy with other surf lesson takers, and I was initially concerned it might detract from our experience... but things were pretty orderly with people waiting to the side to take their turns, and Starr did a great job helping us navigate around other people and find clear paths to safely catch good waves.
My husband and I took turns — one of us out catching waves with Starr while the other waited on the sidelines — and between the two of us, we both felt like we had plenty of instruction time and each had our fill of active surfing.
The water is generally pretty shallow, and you can easily stand up and walk around navigate through people. However, the area is pretty rocky, so just be mindful of how you get off your board at the end of a wave (I was a bit careless until I banged and scraped my knee!). Otherwise, great fun and a successful lesson.
