点评:As I rapidly approach 50, the mid-life crisis is in full swing... and somewhere on the list of things to do was a surfing lesson. I have holidayed in Woolacombe for decades and body boarded a lot, but was apprehensive about the upgrade. I'm happy to say that Surfing Woolacombe was the ideal choice. It was easy to book, and on the day after I had signed my life away (standard procedure) we were introduced to Owen, our instructor for the day. The first 15 mins were concerned with matching people to appropriately sized foam boards, getting to the water (tide was out), and safely. The we hit the waves. Owen was friendly, knowledgeable, and relaxed, but also efficient and attentive. He gave tailored individual advice to the adults and the kids, and it was reassuring on my first attempt at grown-up surfing to know that an experienced surfer was keeping a sharp eye on us. Owen was especially good with the younger surfers, who were the majority of the group, and we all had loads of fun. I fell off more than I would have liked int he choppy seas, but now I have the basics in my head, I can venture out under the watchful eye of the RNLI, and practice to my heart's content. I cannot recommend Surfing Woolacombe enough. If you are at all nervous about giving surfing a go, this is the place to be. 5 stars for excellent.
翻译:我快要50岁了,中年危机正全面爆发……而冲浪课却成了我的待办事项之一。几十年来,我一直在伍拉科姆度假,也经常玩趴板冲浪,但对升级冲浪课程一直心存疑虑。我很高兴地说,伍拉科姆冲浪课程是我的理想选择。预订过程很简单,在我签完终身合同(标准流程)的第二天,我们就被介绍给了当天的教练欧文。前15分钟,我们主要负责为学员匹配合适尺寸的泡沫板,然后安全下水(当时已经退潮)。之后,我们开始冲浪。欧文友好、知识渊博、举止优雅,同时又高效细心。他为成人和儿童提供量身定制的个性化建议。对于我第一次尝试成人冲浪的我来说,有一位经验丰富的冲浪者密切关注着我们,这让我感到安心。欧文尤其擅长指导年轻的冲浪者,他们占了我们团队的大多数,我们都玩得很开心。我在波涛汹涌的海面上摔倒的次数比我想象的要多,但现在我已经掌握了基本技巧,可以在RNLI的监督下出海,尽情练习。我强烈推荐伍拉科姆冲浪。如果你对冲浪感到紧张,这里就是你应该来的地方。五星好评,非常棒。
