My 18 year olds nephew and I had a wonderful time taking these lessons. Our instructor, Alika, was very personable and helpful. He gave great instruction to get us both standing, confident, and enjoying the experience.
Keep in mind, you’ll be paddling yourself out after each wave and there are lots of people getting lessons at the same time, so it’s crowded. I recommend being confident in your swimming abilities beforehand. My nephew was knocked over a couple of times by others getting lessons, so you also have to go into it with a good sportsmanship attitude. With all that said, it was a fun and memorable experience that I would definitely recommend.
