Surfing now checked off bucket list - Very fun. Paul was a awesome teacher. I learned all the basics to get up and ride a wave. There's a lot more to it then I thought.

Teenage Great Lesson Great Time - The instructor Sione from Big Wave Dave was a good teacher and was very friendly. Only thing is Viator said the surf shirt/guard was included and it was not. Had to pay $5 each extra.

Paul made it so easy and fun! - Paul was our instructor and he was so fun! Great instructor and we felt super safe going out on the water with him. We both caught a few waves each and it was the best time. Saw a turtle swimming under me when I was catching a wave! So beautiful, would definitely come back here again.

3rd time doing surfing lessons, WORST EXPERIENCE OF THE 3! - Instructors weren't great at helping us and even starting surfing themselves during the lesson. Beach was extremely rocky and they didn't bother to provide us with shoes for it or even rent them as an option. Instructions took so long we were out in the ocean for like 30 minutes out of what was supposed to be an hour and a half of surfing lessons. Nickle and dimed had to rent rash guards for $5 a person and $5 a lock to store our stuff. Third time doing surfing lessons and by far the worst experience I've had out of the three.
