Thinking about gifting surf lessons at Wrightsville Beach!

I’m considering these surf lessons for my partner’s birthday! We're both beginners and love the beach vibe of Wilmington. The price is right (I mean, it’s free?), and I hear the instructors are super chill. Any tips on what to expect or how to book? Should we bring our own gear, or do they provide everything?
