Great Surf lesson and experience

My oldest boy was very hesitant at first but ended up having a great time and getting up. And my youngest son had so much fun and wanted to do it again. Jake is so patient with them and an excellent teacher.

Awesome Surf Instructor

Jake was so patient and understanding. I had such great fun but won't be winning any surf competitions just yet!! Would highly recommend this lesson as an introduction to surfing. Jake obviously knows the best places to surf depending on experience and the local weather. Was so easy to find - great communication beforehand. He got some amazing photos too which just made the adventure worthwhile and great to look back on. Thank you so much!

Private surf lesson with Jake

I had an amazing experience with my first surf lesson! Jake was patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable right away, even as a complete beginner. He broke everything down step by step, from paddling to popping up, which made it much less intimidating. The environment was fun and so beautiful, and I appreciated how he focused on safety while still making sure we had a great time. By the end of the lesson, I was actually able to stand up on the board, which felt incredible! I’d highly recommend this to anyone thinking about trying surfing for the first time. It was such a memorable experience, and I can’t wait to go again!

Out of the world

I am below the knee amputee woman 61 years old and I had the time in my life. I was able to go out and two days so far and I was able to catch a lot of waves and Jake is an amazing instructor.

Very Personable with great tips!

Jake provided an awesome experience! We went for a sunset lesson on Waikiki Beach. I have taken surf lessons in a number of places, and Jake really helped me to start moving into the next phase of surfing - getting up without the push! I was able to catch several waves, and he gave me plenty of pointers to get up and stay up. Jake was very personable and ensured we were a safe distance from other surfers while catching the best waves. Thanks for a great time!

Mahalo! glad you had the best time surfing with us!

Wonderful first surf experience from a patiebt instructor

First surfing experience... and it was the best part of my Hawaii visit. The instructor, Jake, was very accommodating, patient, and encouraging. I was able to stand and surf after some tries, and through it all, Jake ensured I was learning so I could eventually do it all on my own, wherever I decide to surf in the future. Lifelong learning for sure, and the cherry on top was memorable videos and photos taken by Jake.

Must do!

Jake is a fantastic instructor- knowledgeable, patient, and personable. Great way to spend the morning and catching some waves. Even with my not-so-great knee and wrist(!) Jake found me great long rides so I could take my time getting up! I’m sure I’ll do it again next time I’m here. Highly recommend !

Best Way to Learn Surfing in Hawaii

Jake is an awesome surf instructor! I stood up on the board in my first lesson, and he was so kind and encouraging the whole time. He even stayed longer so I could catch a better wave. I loved the experience so much that I booked another lesson during the same trip. The photos and videos were a great bonus and such a nice memory to keep. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Mahalo Kenza! Hope to see you again when you come back to Hawaii!

Especially good for children and fearful surfers

Nice and easy waters. He tries to make sure you get up on and stand and get great photos! Best instructor and experience compared to doing this in Biarritz and Bondi Beach. Especially good for children and fearful surfers
