    Any previous watersports experience will help. I used to paddle (canoe), I still sail and was big into rowing. Your understanding of how water acts, how things move through water, and the dangers will be a huge advantage!

    I am a beginer/intermediate and I had a ball in inchydoney. Friendly waves and lots of space between them. These guys have a good name.

    Best of luck.

    I don't know if they will just rent out the gear to a beginer to be honest. Best off paying for the lessons, it would probably be the same price.
