That lesson with Matthew was quite good, honestly. I liked starting to gain confidence getting swept under and not looking for the board, which was pretty helpful. Still, I think I could gain more confidence to swim out there and catch more waves, but I feel like I’m on the right track. The laid-back approach made everything feel natural, and I appreciated the focus on building that core confidence. If you’re into steady lessons that really help you get comfortable, I’d suggest giving Matthew a try.

I think the lesson was quite helpful, especially in understanding wave face trimming, which I hadn't really focused on before. Though I still need to work on standing up more smoothly, I feel like I made some good progress. Matthew's guidance really made me pay attention to specific details, and I look forward to building on that next time. Hopefully, I'll get more confident with those little technical adjustments. Still, I’d suggest trying him out if you're looking to refine your skills gradually.

I loved how knowledgeable and encouraging Matthew was throughout the lesson. His guidance made trying out surfing feel exciting and achievable. If you’re thinking about learning to surf, I definitely recommend taking a lesson with him. It’s a great way to get started and build confidence on the waves. Give it a go and see for yourself! 🌊🙂
