    Brian was our instructor and he was fantastic. His laid back and easy to follow teaching style was perfect for us. We would highly recommend him and wish him the best in his future endeavors. The whole experience was memorable. The appointment started on time and Brian had us in the water in 1/2 an hour. He guided us through the basics and encouraged us every wave. Though we didn't get up much, every attempt left us smiling. My wife had been wanting to learn to surf for years and the lesson definitely fulfilled that wish. Thanks again for the class and the memories!

    We absolutely loved our guide! He was very helpful and attentive throughout the entire trip. We were successful and were able to catch several waves and loved it! The location selected was also perfect for beginners and stunning. Completely worth it! I am looking forward to booking another trip with the Adventure Company.
