Our group included 16 people from 4 to 54 including teenagers and twenty somethings. We met Andy at the back of Boomerang Billy's which is a motel and bar. In back of the bar is the beach which includes 8 stands to build sandcastle's on and a beach volleyball court. He arrived early and was generally very easy to work... More

We began our first day on the island with lessons with Andy. We all loved it! My kids - 6, 7 and 9 were the perfect age. Even my engineer husband loved it. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something different, fun and useful. He's a great teacher and a lot of fun! More

Andy showed us a great time. He is a master artist and was a joy to spend time with. On our next trip to the island we will see him again. He took the time to get to know us and we swapped storied and had great conversation. It really doesn't matter if your a great artist yourself but he... More

We have gone to South Padre since I was a kid but this trip was one of the more memorable thanks to Andy Hancock and his castle building instruction! We enjoyed two hours of entertainment at the end of March (well after Spring Break!) and actually ended up with a fine looking castle! I highly recommend at least an hour... More

Wow! Our four kids were entertained for three hours by Andy Hancock. He captivated their attention from the beginning with his jokes, laughter, Australian accent, and professional teaching style. I would never make a trip to South Padre, without spending an afternoon with him giving us lessons on the beach. This is our tenth year coming down to Padre we... More

My 10 year old said "this is the life" after we had just finished 90 amazing minutes with Andy. Not only is he an expert artist but quite frankly an amazing instructor. He is very knowledgeable and funny and really transfers very valuable tricks and craft. My whole family enjoyed themselves. Andy even managed to keep my almost 4 year... More
