We had a wonderful time on our surfing lesson on August 4 w our instructor, Nani. He was very easy going and encouraging with our group of 5, including 4 young adults and one 50ish mom. Everyone was able to tackle the basics and stand. The waves were not overwhelming but enough to provide a great experience. The photographer took some nice shots which are optional to purchase, which we ended up doing just because it was a cool experience. If someone isn’t surfing, it’s easy enough to have them take your own pics (which my husband did). They provide everything you need other than towels, sunblock and bathing suits. Be prepared to carry the surfboards a short distance but they tell you how. Everyone Loved everything about the experience. They do a great job for what felt like a reasonable price. Because there were five of us, we had the instructor to ourselves which was a nice touch. There are a decent amount of other groups surfing at the same time but it really didn’t present a problem.
