We had such a great experience doing our surf lesson. Mark gave us a great overview before heading into the water. He was so helpful in a fun way and let us just give it a shot in the water! Loved his positive mindset and thinking!
Really good concise lesson. I was told a range of things about the board, safety and how to stand and turn. We then went out and I was able to stand first try and could turn. Highly recommended. I feel competent enough to go out and develop my skills solo
Mark is great! Jose and I had our second surf lesson with Mark and we found it was not only super good fun, but he boosted our confidence surfing and helped us develop a better technique. Thanks!! Would definitely recommend to anyone no matter their level!
Mark is an excellent teacher I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He had a group of 6 aged from a young teenager to me at 62 years old, all of us first time surfers except the youngest. Mark was able to keep everyone engaged and we all had a great time in the surf under Marks watchful eye. If you're looking for a great surf school look no further, this one is fantastic.
