“I completed my first ever surf lesson here and it was a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. As it was off season there was only 3 of us with the instructor which was fantastic. I struggled to lift both knees up at the same time to stand, my instructor realised this and in the second half he adapted it so that I push up one knee at a time and that made all the difference. Amazing guys, gutted I wasnt there for longer to do another surf lesson!”
