My partner and I had a lesson with James and it was the best thing we've done all holiday! We were really debating whether to book or not because we'd never done any surfing before and thought we'd be too inexperienced but James filled us with so much confidence and…
James was an amazing instructor and both me and my two 10 years old daughters were riding waves after just an hour of lesson from being complete novice's. Would highly recommend him if you are looking at booking surfing lessons.
James was fantastic James was fantastic really friendly and pitch our session at the right level. Thanks for a great evening!
