We had an absolutely wonderful first surf lesson with Elias and Abe. There were four of us (ranging from ages 13 to 30), and nobody had attempted surfing before. None of us had much confidence going in, but our instructors were able to give us incredibly helpful pointers and show us how to stand up on a board. Before we knew it, we were in the water! All of us were able to stand on our first wave for some duration of time, much to our surprise. We had such a fun lesson, and the time passed by so quickly. Elias and Abe were also great sports and were patient (and participated!) when we wanted to take photos.
