Private Surfstunde

My 9-year-old daughter and I took surf lessons with Jon and Mike, and it was definitely a highlight of our trip. Jon was incredibly patient with my first-timer daughter, and she gained confidence and improved with every wave. Mike took me to an amazing surf spot- at first the waves felt pretty overwhelming, but with his careful guidance and helpful feedback, I was able to surf them. Such an incredible experience we’ll always remember. Mahalo!!!

Mike was a pleasure! My family of 6 had a lot going on throughout our 9 days on Oahu. We found ourselves with an afternoon at the north shore with an open agenda. My oldest son convinced us all that surf lessons would be awesome to do in Hawaii/north shore. I called around, not with confidence we would get a session given the short notice. To my surprise....with in 45 minutes after my initial phone conversation with Mike, I was watching my boys (18,16 and 14) SURFING!! Mike provided A+ service and lessons. Mike has great knowledge of the water, surfing and how to teach children from all types of skill levels. Thanks, Mike!!!

This moment is kept sentimentally on my birthday #30! I had such a great time, and I enjoyed getting to know this beautiful sport so much. I couldn't stop trying it and my mood never broke, all those waves brought me a big smile and so much joy! I want to thank your team and especially Andy! He is so good that he used his experience so that we know what it feels like to get on the board

As a beginner but aspiring surfer, Mike was the perfect instructor. I went out with him twice over the course of my week in Oahu and each time the entire experience (location, board, focus areas) was customized to match my skill-level and goals. Mike instructed and gave a lot of great advice, but also gave me the autonomy to make mistakes (safely) so I could learn from them. I surfed later in my trip and felt like I had made a lot of progress after my sessions with Mike. He’s also a good dude to hang in the water with. Will definitely be back next time I’m on Oahu

Such a great experience, highly recommend. Having surfed a bit prior to, Mike catered the time to my ability. He provided some super helpful tips, and was incredibly easy to get along with. I learned a lot and surfed a lot. Definitely a high point on my trip.

Coach Mike is extremely knowledgeable as a professor and nurturing like a friend that wants to see you do your best. Prepare to take your surfing to the next level guaranteed!

Generally Okay. Instructor is knowledgeable and patient. But would be better experience if the instructor is more flexible in arrangement.

Excellent surf school. 808 Surf School will get you up and riding on the waves quick. No matter how little experience you have.

Worked with Mike for Private Advanced Lesson multiple days in a row and was a dream. He's super experienced, fun, and taught in a way that provided specific and actionable feedback without overwhelming me. Never been so confident on and off the board, thanks to him. You really can't find a better surf instructor than Mike. If you're looking to go from Intermediate to Advanced or want a guide to help you find the best waves in Oahu, he's your guy. Will definitely be back!

2 Hour lesson private lesson with Andy for my 13-year-old daughter was amazing. She surfed every wave. She was the only surfer on this beach which was awesome. Appreciate the kindness and fun during the lesson. 808 Surf School is the best!!!
