My boyfriend and I decided to take surf lessons because we were on vacation and thought it would be…read morea fun experience. Now I need to say we are both snow borders and skaters so we can handle quite a bit of physical activity. However to start they had me (women) carry the biggest board 8ft all the way to the beach (about 2 blocks) with no shoes on. Now I'm 5'7 and was already dead tired by the time I got to the beach. Then we we started our lesson which was actually pleasant until we got into the water. Instead of starting us on small waves he had us go to the deeper section. Needless to say I basically drank enough sea water to be considered a fish. But that's all part of the experience so we still had a great time. Now the reason for the 2 stars..... DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ADD ON THE PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE. We paid $35 per person to have our experience photographed, so when the experience was over we could see it. We both got up on the boards a couple of times and was super excited to see the action shots. They said it should take 2 days to get them. Needless to say 2 weeks later and several emails and phone calls we still didn't have them! Finally the school refunded our money and the photographer finally emailed the pictures the next day. Guess what? The were AWFUL they didn't even get one shot of me in the water and none of us on the boards?! So even if they didn't refund the money I would have asked for a refund because that is just ridiculous 4 pictures in the water (none of me or of us on the boards) for about 80 bucks?! Ridiculous

My instructor was Jeremy and from the start, not only was he able to adapt the lesson to my level but he was also nice and patient and pushed me out of my comfort zone as we got farther into the lesson. For being a newer instructor he impressed me right from the start with his clear instructions and encouragement! All the workers seemed to work together really well/ were organized without ever getting in the way of other surfers or groups. That hospitality left a great impression! 10 out of 10 would recommend to any leve surfer wanting direction, feedback or first paddles in your surfing journey!!

I have spent countless hours on you tube but I felt I just wasn't learning. I was stuck on auto mode... I stumbled upon Hector's classes and saw the best reviews. Let me tell you that if you are looking to get out of auto mode on your camera in one day, DO IT! Take his class and I promise you won't be disappointed. I really enjoyed the one on one instruction, it's what I needed to really learn how to understand my camera. I'm looking forward to use all this new knowledge and taking some incredible photos!
