There is a downside to renting at ASD. I once tried to teach a friend there.
He rented a board and suit from ASD. Paid $30. As soon as he was on the
water he realised that there was too much wind for him. He came back.
Literally, in 15 min. ASD refused to give him even partial refund. They do
not care much about keeping customers happy. A frustrated customer can hear
words like "... and never come again!" from them, or the like.
