My best photo of the week came from a wave Flash told me to take. \u00a0When my son got caught inside, Flash told me to enjoy my own surfing, and that he would look after my son, which he did.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I have had a handful of surf instructors &#8211; Australia, California and here in Canada. \u00a0The instructors at Witch&#8217;s were better. \u00a0They took pride in their work and our improvement. \u00a0Made the trip. \u00a0A bonus that we saw them socially too &#8211; in town at the bar and on the beach joining in at volleyball.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Robert August and the video and photos I was able to buy were also great.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I posted a comment on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WitchsRockSurfCamp\">Facebook page<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Hotel_Review-g309253-d622125-Reviews-Witch_s_Rock_Surf_Camp-Tamarindo_Province_of_Guanacaste.html\">5\/5 review on Trip Advisor.<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A great week &#8211; I&#8217;ll be back.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Cheers,<\/div>\n<p>M.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Shawna, Sorry that we didn&#8217;t meet last week. \u00a0I also didn&#8217;t meet the owner, so perhaps you wouldn&#8217;t mind passing this message along.
