Best experience on our whole vacation! Franky was AWESOME! He was kind and patient. Fully prepared us on land, so when we hit the ocean, everyone was successful.

I've spent years underwater but surfing was a completely different challenge. My instructor broke everything down perfectly — pop-up technique, reading the wave, weight distribution. By the end of the 90 minutes I was standing. Worth every penny.
