“The business is run out of a van. You meet the van in the parking lot where they give you a wetsuit that someone else had just been wearing and is wet. The wetsuit I was given was also torn in a couple of places as was the suit given to my daughter. The chosen spot to surf was extremely shallow and so falling meant you usually hit the sand only a couple of feet under the water. This was my third surfing lesson in life and was by far the worst.”
