Awesome experience for the most professional respectable coaches out there and the lover of all oceans sports. Highly recommended.
Such a fun surf lesson! Conor was super chill, knowledgeable and easy to learn from. He explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable before getting in the water. We caught quite a few waves which was awesome! It was just a good time overall and we had so much fun we took a second lesson with him! 10/10 experience and I definitely recommend it if you’re thinking about trying surfing! 🌊🏄🏻♀️
What a score! The 7 AM group lesson became a private session with Conor. His coaching was perfect. Tailored in some snowboarding analogies. Felt safe and encouraged the whole time. Best experience in O'ahu!
Such a Great Experience Surfing with Conner was one of the best parts of our trip to Oahu. He took our two teenage boys out for their first lessons—twice—and was great with them. Patient, easygoing, and made it fun from the start. They were up and riding waves and had a blast. We felt comfortable with Conner right away and fully trusted him. Solid guy, total pro. If you're looking for someone dependable and great with kids, book with Conner.
Teacher is very careful, observant, helpful, and patient. We started with dry exercises on the beach before going into water which was very good to train the basics before trying anything getting into the waves.
Connor was great! It was my first time surfing and I already managed to easily catch my first waves!
The good part was that it turned out to a 1:1 private lesson, I received decent instructions on basics of surfing, and I was able to have fun by surfing several times in a way considered successful to myself as a beginner. I appreciated the efforts made by instructor to help me circle back to catch the wave each time since it did consume a lot of energy. However, the instructor was rude and made me feel humiliated a few times during the lesson. For example, he said “I started to doubt about your IQ” when I couldn’t follow quickly. Definitely not very patient and not that friendly to beginners. Maybe he has some racism since I am a Chinese guy. I doubt he would treat Americans in the same way. The instructor should get better with his attitude and be more professional when guiding beginners.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m glad to hear you found value in the private instruction and that you were able to catch waves successfully during the lesson. Surfing as a beginner is no small feat, and I truly admire the effort you put into learning and participating. I am sorry to hear that parts of the lesson left you feeling uncomfortable. Surfing can be challenging, especially in the waves, and I always aim to ensure my students feel both safe and supported throughout the session. I understand that certain remarks, even when intended lightheartedly, may not always come across as supportive. I appreciate this feedback and will reflect on how I can communicate in a way that feels encouraging to everyone. Regarding your concerns about inclusivity, I want to emphasize that I welcome and respect every student, regardless of background. My goal is to create a positive and inclusive environment for all my clients, and I am truly sorry if my words or actions gave you a different impression. I take this feedback seriously and will continue to work on ensuring every student feels valued and respected. I hope you take pride in the progress you made during your lesson. Learning to surf is an incredible achievement, and I wish you all the best on your surfing journey. Thank you again for your comments; they mean a lot and will help me provide an even better experience for future students. ------------------ Aloha Ziye， 感谢您花时间分享您的反馈。我很高兴您对我们的私人课程感到满意，并且在课程中成功地冲浪了几次。作为初学者，冲浪绝非易事，我非常欣赏您在学习和参与过程中付出的努力。 对于您提到在课程中感到有些尴尬的部分，我深表歉意。冲浪尤其是在海浪中的确充满挑战，我始终致力于确保学生在课程中感到安全和支持。我也明白，有些话语即使本意是轻松幽默的，也可能不会总是被理解为支持性语言。我非常感谢您的反馈，并会反思如何以更鼓励和积极的方式与每一位学生沟通。 关于您提到的包容性问题，我想强调，无论背景如何，我都欢迎并尊重每一位学生。我的目标是为所有客户创造一个积极和包容的环境，如果我的言辞或行为让您有了不同的感受，我对此感到非常抱歉。我非常重视您的反馈，并将继续努力确保每一位学生都感受到被尊重和重视。 我希望您为课程中取得的进步感到自豪。学习冲浪是一项了不起的成就，我祝愿您在冲浪旅程中不断取得成功。再次感谢您的意见，这对我提供更好的学生体验有重要意义。
I can’t say enough good things about our surf instructor, Connor! My sister and I took lessons with him, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped onto the beach, his positive energy and enthusiasm set the tone for an amazing day. If you’re looking for a surf instructor who is knowledgeable and truly cares about his students, Connor is the one to choose!
A few highlights my sister and I had after getting lessons with Conor was how much patience he had teaching us, he really wanted us to reach our goal, and was very generous with time, he wanted us to learn as much as we could in the water, and as bonus, we got to see turtles swimming by our boards!!
It was a great time. Conor is a great teacher and has a super chill vibe. He got me riding waves after the first run. Definitely would recommend.
