Review Body: wonderful time with Rob and Igor as our instructor, he was very thorough but yet to the point. we had so much fun in the water. even tho it was only 1.5hrs it was definitely plenty as first time surfers as fighting the waves to get back out is tiring. I would 100% recommend trying this out while in da Nang!

Review Body: Rob and friends hosted an excellent street art workshop for our group of 10 kids and 7 adults. The team was so supportive and encouraging of our art and gave great tips on how to make graffiti. They even let us go overtime to finish - we had an absolute blast! Highly recommend.
