This was so much fun and wayyyy easier than I thought. I thought because im a bigger girl that it would be almost impossible but honestly the hardest part was swimming back to the starting point. I did however get SUPER sunburnt šŸ«  they give you shoes and a sweater but my butt and legs were in the sun/water for an hour and 45 minuites šŸ«£ but ofcourse that's on me I'm just including it so you're aware šŸ˜‰

Willy & Sergio were great instructors! I was able to pop up on my first wave. My friends and I did the group lesson so 5 people total. Both of my friends had an amazing time as well and were able to get up on their first wave too! This experience is definitely worth it when in Hawaii.
