As 1st time beginners, me and my sis had a really great time trying out 1st waves. That day was a bit windy, we were brought to a nearby beach with 2 other students. Our instructor was very warm and nice and taught us with a nice flow on safety first, then the real surfing knowledge. In the sea, it was a bit messy at first becuz we dont know what we were doing, but we got the hang of it when we felt the waves a few times, and the instructor was very patient with us. It was very very fun.
