“Love, love, love. Everyone from the staff did the great job. Especially instructors. Happy for my girlfriend which was scared at first, but after a break and much support from the instructors she stood on the board and caught like 5 waves. I had more caught waves but even then, they gave me some tips. The attention of instructors was split correctly for everyone i think, based on their level.”
