Lessons...
| What an experience... I'm hooked! I couldn't stand sitting in the Great Room and watching the surfers any longer so signed up for a lesson with The Surf Club. Having never attempted this crazy sport, I really wasn't too sure what I was getting myself into but was told that I would be SAFE, WARM and have A TON OF FUN. It's all true! Imagine being warm while surfing in the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean in December - I just didn't think it was possible! Great personal instruction, great equipment and easy access with the surf school and rental equipment right on-site and on the best surfing beach in Tofino. Try it... you'll get hooked too!! |
