Easy booking over the phone, very reasonable pricing includes board, wetsuit and entry to the beach. Sam was outstanding as other reviews have said. We practiced getting up on the beach a few times, then we were into the water. It was a group of 2 so we took turns. Towards the end, I was picking my own waves and paddling solo to get a feel for whether I'd do ok flying solo. In my case, I was unusually bad at getting up and would've benefited more from doing it on the beach a few more times to focus on the emphasis items (that's just my learning style), but otherwise, all good! Sam is the perfect instructor. He's friendly, knowledgeable and gives just the right level of feedback.
All of the staff were friendly at the store and at the beach, can't ask for much more. We'll be back... in fact, we just booked for tomorrow!
