Robert was the best surfing instructor I've have ever had! (Mind you I have only had two, but read on because it's worth it.) A new sport can be intimidating, to say the very least. Often the awkwardness one experiences when attempting surfing is only magnified by an unfamiliarity with the lingo, a fundamental lack of knowledge of the mechanics and physics involved, and the fear of looking like a complete fool. That said, Robert made me feel comfortable from the time I got on the board, to the time I was swallowed by my very first wave. After a few short days, a lot of reassurance, very sore shoulders and an entirely new respect for the ocean I caught a wave, and then another. Robert's expertise and love for the sport were enough to keep me engaged and confident that I could actually surf. Surfing, in my opinion, has to be one of the most challenging sports to learn, and the learning curve is long (believe me), however, I have never experienced anything like it, I 'm hooked. I was inexperienced and frightened, especially after I lost my suit bottoms to the pounding surf, but Robert did not let me quit. I thank him for it. I will be back in the Outer Banks in August, board in hand and asking a million questions of my surf instructor, Robert.
