Wave Park — Attraction in Siheung-si

I usually do not write reviews but I do appreciate them.

They also want to nickel and dime you on top of steep entry fees you'll pay for wetsuit, wet shoes, board, and even a bath towel! I would definitely avoid this place until they learn what hospitality is. Til then, avoid it and go to...

I went for the lvl 1 4pm-6pm session, taught by teacher ‘Engine’ (이준 but I might have gotten his name wrong I’m sorry!)

His lesson was really good and he got me to become comfortable with catching a wave assisted and standing up in one lesson. I really appreciated his teaching. And the best part? He speaks English
