This was an amazingly fun and beautiful experience. I took a solo lesson cuz I really wanted to learn. They paired me with instructor Carlos. He is the best!! Calm. Encouraging. Friendly. I never felt wrong or incompetent no matter how many times he said "No, your Left foot" ???? There was never attitude or anything but patience in his voice. You can tell he loves what he does. He'd be out there doing it no matter what.
The day was beautiful and sunny and warm, which was perfect since I specialized in falling into the water. It helped to cool off! The water was calm and clear. Laughter is a must. Be ready to laugh and laugh. This is freaking Fun!! Despite the falling and laughing and balancing and instruction, there is a calm and peacefulness on the water.
Early morning is best. I went at 8am. By 10am the winds were a little more aggressive.
