Some of the most memorable moments during the surfing lesson, was paddling all the way out to see and realizing 1/10 of the way through, I was not going to make it. Thankfully Cody was there to save the day! That and completely throwing everything that was taught on land out my head the moment I got out into the water.
There were quite a few waves and I was glad I was able to catch a few, while some were duds but it was amazing to see the amount of progress achieved in the little time I had out on the water. Before the lesson, I was convinced I would not even get 1 good wave in, but I was proud to know that I did get quite a few good waves in towards the end!
Perhaps it was the adrenaline, or perhaps it was the salt from the ocean, but I did not realize I cut my feet multilple times on the sharp rocks on the ocean floor. Listen to your guides when they say to be careful or you may end up like me limping around for a few days!!
All in all, it was a great experience and I definitely would go back to Stokes to learn from them again. Cody was a great guide and very informative of things to do/visit while on Oahu.
