The experience was epic. The instructors were patient and kind and allowed us to learn how to get up nicely. I would totally recommend it to anyone. It was an experience I will take to all my friends and family who want to come to Hawaii to experience such a fun time.

English lessons

I could only hear about half of the lesson content because I am not good at English, but I am glad that everyone is very kind. My coach Peter didn't care that I couldn't speak English and he always smiled at me. We rode the best waves, and the photos we had taken from the beach were amazing! If you're a complete beginner, you might have to have some English skills to keep up.

Great Instructor, But Poor Follow Through on Photo/Video Package

Overall, the surf lesson itself was good and my instructor was great. However, I was very disappointed with the photo and video package. I selected this option when booking online, but when I checked in, the staff member forgot to confirm it and I ended up with no photos or videos from my session. When I raised the issue, the response felt dismissive and I was told that if I came back for another lesson I could purchase it then, which isn’t realistic as I was only visiting Hawaii. While the lesson was enjoyable, missing out on the content I expected was very disappointing. I’d rethink booking if video and photo content is important to you.

Very fun surfing...

Very fun surfing experience with Seth, who is an awesome teacher. He was friendly and patient and such a joy to surf with! Additionally, the company takes safety seriously and ensures that students are well-informed of safety precautions prior to going out to the water.
