Max was my instructor and very good!!! and patient. I was fortunate there was only 2 of us. Max did a great job setting us up for success before we entered the water. Easy to locate the van. Provided reef shoes. Very helpful. Had a full 90 min session out in the water. I had a great time.
Andre was an amazing instructor! He gave clear instructions, was patient with us and very encouraging throughout our lesson. Would highly recommend booking with this company!
The experience was great. The teachers were great. They kept it easy and simple for a fun experience. Would recommend doing it
Our son had a great time surfing in Hawaii. His instructor was kind and encouraging. We can’t believe he made so much progress in a couple hours. Beautiful location
Andre was amazing. I went with my husband and we had a great time. It wasn’t our first time surfing but we are beginners and he gave us very helpful pointers. We caught waves and had a wonderful time. Mahalo Ohana
My two boys (8 and 10) and I had a fantastic time! Communication was great, meet up very clear. Max our instructor was wonderful; patient when needed, encouraging when needed, instructive all around. It showed that he loves sharing his passion with others. We will certainly be back!
Had a great time with my kids at Kahlu’u Beach Park in Kona. Our first time surfing in Hawaii and Max and Carl were awesome.
Max was an absolute 10/10! All three of our kids were first-time surfers, and he made the experience unforgettable. He was incredibly patient, kind, encouraging, and knew exactly how to build their confidence in the water. By the end of the lesson, all three were up on their boards and smiling from ear to ear. We couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and would highly recommend Max to anyone, especially families with young or first-time surfers!
Great location and easy to track them down and kids had really fun surfing. This was a birthday gift to my teenager, turning 16.
It was terrible, paid two hours for two kids and the instructor didn't do much teaching. See full google review. Also finding the shoes took way too long. Apparently a total of 30 minutes of that two hours is "debriefing". Most people would prefer just learning the entire two hours instead of talking because we are not going to surf again and only doing this for novelty. Also, he took the kids out after less than one hour because he claimed they were "cold". Yeah, not great.
