At first I was a little scared, but after getting the hang of the technique I gained more confidence. I had a good time and the instructors were very friendly.

I was there between Christmas and New Year. Since everything was fully booked, I booked the beginner course. The basics were explained very well, and the pop-ups (standing on the board) we practiced several times on land.
