Thank you for the review, I am happy you enjoyed your surfing class with us- since you said your surfing was fantastic I will take your experience with our surf school as a 5/5 star.
I will definitely share your feedback regarding photos with the photography company / The photo company we work with is totally separate from our school so I appreciate the feedback-I know the photographers do work hard from taking land shots, in water photos, downloading and preparing your files for immediate airdrop/google drive sending. I am sorry that you felt their service was sneaky and of course tipping is always optional- again - thank you for your feedback and we are happy you had a 5 star experience/ mahalo!
