What a great experience, what a great team. Super friendly and helped guide everyone to successful surfing. They have the perfect spot and know the waves for all types from beginner to intermediate. Would definitely use them again.

Highly recommend

My dad and I took surf lessons and I’m so glad we did. Although, it was very tiring because the wind/current were very strong. Our instructor was extremely helpful getting us out to catch a wave. We couldn’t have done it without him with how tired we were from paddling against the strong surf. He made sure we caught the best waves and was so encouraging. Highly recommend!

Great instructors that made surfing fun!

Chaz and Deuce gave private surfing lessons to my 12 year old granddaughter and 10 year old grandson. The kids had so much fun, they learned alot and want to go surfing again. Chaz and Deuce were patient and funny and knew how to teach kids and make it a fun experience. Mahalo nui loa!

Great experience on beautiful beach

Our teens did their first surf lesson and loved it. Instructors were great and both got to stand up multiple times. We live in FL so our kids are good swimmers and would say if you do not swim well, I would look for something else as you may not be comfortable in these waves. Would definitely do lessons again with Surf HNL.

Thumbs up

This was a quiet location with wide open waters. Staff was friendly and the coach was very helpful. I would definitely recommend Surf HNL.

Best time with Surf HNL

We had the best time with Surf HNL. The staff were very helpful, enthusiastic and patient. They took extra time to explain everything and how to stand up on the surfboard prior to getting into the water. The waves were larger than average for this time of the year, but the staff helped us get past the breaking waves. We paid for two hour, but we only had energy for one hour of surfing. They offered to refund us for the second hour, which I found extremely honest. We declined the refund. They earned it with all of their help

Surfing with Surf HNL - Yes, please!

The team at Surf HNL are amazing! We had a group of four - my husband, two teenagers and a 10yr old. All four loved the surfing class with Namaka and his team. They were patient, friendly, and professional. I would highly recommend taking a class with Surf HNL. Bonus - the meeting point is close to Ko Olina / Aulani.
