Great experience! Both my husband and I were standing up and riding waves by the end of the lesson, our instructor was very knowledgeable and helped us to feel comfortable and confident on the boards! We also saw some sea turtles while paddling out which was cool. Fun and unique experience, would definitely do again!

Great time and worker
Super nice instructor and he was very informative. Loved the whole experience. Honestly wasn’t as hard as I thought, or maybe the instructor was just great:)

They prioritize safety
The weather was completely against us. They tried multiple times to accommodate us. They went well out of their way to try to get us out there learning how to surf. But the fact that they were so communicative and put safety as a priority speaks volumes.
We might not have had a lesson with them, but we will happily promote their company.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this—we really appreciate it, and I’m sorry for the delay in our response.
We’re grateful for your understanding during what turned out to be some pretty challenging weather conditions. Our team genuinely did want to get you in the water, and it means a lot to hear that our communication and focus on safety came through clearly. That’s always our top priority.
Even though we didn’t get the chance to surf together this time, your willingness to support and promote us truly means a lot. We hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back for a lesson under much better conditions next time.

Do it!
It was so fun. Mick, our instructor, was kind and encouraging. Our whole party was able to stand at least once with Mick’s guidance. 10/10 would recommend.

Honest Company
We couldn't go out due to the tide being too high to produce waves. I wanted to leave a review because the instructor was honest and upfront about the conditions. We got a refund because we couldn't go another time.

Great lesson!
We stayed at the Outrigger Reef Resort so the meeting point (at the resort beach) was easy. We had a private and semi private lesson with Josh & Lindsay. They were great, did all the paddling work, and made it super easy to catch a wave. Me and kids (9 & 12) learned some basics on shore and went straight out. The waves were tiny and perfect for learning. This also made it very easy for the kids to feel comfortable. The boards were huge (I think 12 ft long) so even though the waves were tiny, we were all up and surfing in no time. We had a great time and this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind message! We're so happy to hear that your lesson with Josh and Lindsay was such a highlight of your trip. It’s great to know that the location at the Outrigger Reef worked out perfectly and made everything smooth and convenient for you and your family.
Josh and Lindsay will be thrilled to hear your kind words! We’re especially glad to hear that your kids felt comfortable and confident out on the water—that’s what it’s all about. And yes, those big boards definitely make it easier to catch those gentle Waikiki waves!
Thank you again for choosing to surf with us. We hope to see you and your ohana again next time you're in town!
Mahalo!

Thumbs up to Trevor!
Trevor was an excellent instructor who could accommodate from mom and dad to teenager! Living in Oahu for almost 2.5 years, we finally had a chance and courage to learn how to surf. It was a precious experience for us as a family and Trevor made it fun and exciting! All of us were able to stand and surf at least once or more even though tide was high. He helped us paddle out to the waves and back to the shore, "literally" carried us out and back. Thank you, Trevor, for our staycation memorable and wonderful!
