Was the BEST Experience, both my 9 & 10 yr old boys begged me to come again 😂 they were quite good surprisingly. They managed to get up 6-7 times in a row there’s towards the end. It was cute, watching them Hi-Five each other…

Just had a lesson with Arthur this morning. I didn’t think I’d be able to get upright onto the board as I had failed miserably in a previous first lesson, but we did it…many times! Arthur was patient, kind and was very good with giving out tailored advice to both my partner…
