"Hi Doug,

I just wanted to say thanks for the lesson I had early 09. Thought I'd send a quick email to let you know that your affordable lessons and enthusiasm and encouragement is awesome. After just a lesson and a hire I caught the bug and now I've bought a board. I had no idea just how awesome a surfer you are at the time either, I feel very lucky to have had the chance to be taught by you. So thanks! All the best for the new year.

Cheers, Frances"
