“This was so much fun!! I went with my friend and it was a little chilly that day so we ended up being the only guests and basically got a private lesson. Despite the weather, it was awesome. They provide wetsuits so we managed to stay warm, and Thiem was a great instructor - very cool guy and super helpful. This was my first time surfing and my friend's second time and we were both able to get up on the boards (my friend was better than me but I digress.)
