Private 1-gegen-1-Surfstunde

Our entire family had an incredible experience with Stoke Drift Surf Lesson. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip! The package included everything we needed, making the experience easy, comfortable, and completely stress-free from beginning to end. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. They offer lockers and a safe place to store your belongings. Our family ranged in age from 9 to 19, plus myself and the team did an amazing job accommodating everyone’s different ages and experience levels. Our youngest had her own private instructor, our two older daughters shared an instructor, and I had my own as well. This arrangement gave each of us the personalized attention and guidance we needed. They always knew how to position and guide us to avoid running into other surfers, even in the busy Waikiki surf. Throughout the lesson, they also taught us proper surf etiquette, including how to safely share the waves and remain aware of everyone around us. The personalized instruction, attention to safety, quality equipment, photography, and time spent in the water made it an excellent value for our entire family. Our instructors, Jaden, Keith, and Rickey were the best! Patient, encouraging, and incredibly professional. I highly recommend requesting them! They made everyone feel safe and confident while ensuring we maximized our time in the water. Although our family had surfed a little before, this was by far our best surfing experience. The entire team, including the photographer and everyone who helped behind the scenes, was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and helpful. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and care about giving every guest an unforgettable experience. The photographer captured come amazing photos too, each of us catching waves, and some of us taking the same wave together. If you are visiting Waikiki, I highly recommend booking a session with Stoke Drift. They are truly the best surf team in Waikiki, and our family will book with them again without hesitation the next time we are in town. This experience created wonderful memories for our entire family and was easily one of the best parts of our vacation. You won’t regret it!

Book Cole for your instructor and catch more waves than anyone else out there! My sons 12 and has autism and Cole totally rolled with my sons desire to surf his way. Cole was calm and adapted to my sons ability bringing a level of success we never knew!

Dane Fish was amazing. He made the experience feel like a breeze. I had never surfed before, I left feeling confident that I could surf on my own. With his instruction, I was able to ride the waves from start to finish at every wave! I even stayed on the board to the end to paddle back and do it again. He made it so easy and like I had surfed my entire life. 100% recommended!

My trainer Kaden was awesome and the experience was amazing. I'm almost 70 and he was able to get me up on the board. If you lessons this is the place.

Justin was very knowledgeable and patient. It was very physically demanding. Be prepared for a workout. But it was a good experience and I highly recommend this vendor.

Aaron was a friendly instructor. Started promptly on time. Would definitely recommend. Even though surfing isn't a fit for my son I would still recommend this 1 on 1 surf lesson. The beach was great and the small waves perfect for a beginner. There was also a restaurant that had the perfect seating along the beach to watch the lesson from. Not to mention the food was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and welcoming at check in. And Aaron was again a great instructor. Highly recommend!

This was my 2nd surfing lesson after doing a group lesson at Stokedrift the week before and loving it. Went out with Skylar who was helpful. I learned a lot: turning, reading the waves, and all the basics of surfing. Confident now that I know enough now to surf. Waikiki! What a great spot to learn surfing!

Just great! I had a one-on-one lesson with the surf instructor and also the photographer was very helpful and nice, it was a mega experience and also the beautiful view from the water to Waikiki and Diamond Head. Especially great that a photographer is out on the water, the photos are incredibly great. At other surf schools, the photographer often just stands on the beach and takes pictures from there. Clearly recommended and worth the price!

Australian girl that recently got back from Hawaii. I come from a surfing background, but wanted some confidence after a long break due to injury & also unsure re the reefs out front as haven’t surf here in a while. I had Skylar as my instructor & he was unreal. We picked a day that was ideally larger swell since I could already surf, he didn’t treat me like a beginner at all. Super supportive when we out the back calling me into some sick waves!! Pretty sure the camera guy was Mitch? Sorry if incorrect but he was also a sick guy. Skylar was such a chilled guy & we had some good chats in our session. Felt like I was surfing with a friend than an instructor. Super happy I picked him to surf with. Highly recommend stoke drift for all levels of surfers but also highly recommend Skylar!! All the crew stoke drift were unreal as well! So thanks guys 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

This was a great experience. We booked the private 1-1 for each myself and my son because a friend recommended it. There was another group that did a lesson and I am glad we had our own instructors because of the more hands-on attention they were able to give us. We could immediately tell that Aaron and Taylor were really passionate about teaching surfing. After a quick dry run ashore they towed us out to the spot in very beginner friendly waters. We were able to stand up and were catching waves after 1-2 tries and really enjoyed the hour spent out there. I guess they also offer advanced lessons but we didn’t spend enough time on Oahu to take advantage of it, which I probably will next time. Mahalo!
