Awesome Staff - The staff were really great and really helpful. The surf was pretty bad and the kids didn't really care for the activity haha but the team at Go Ride a Wave couldn't help that and they did the best with the scenario - they kept upbeat & really positive and kept trying to get the kids involved - thanks guys.
