This was an A++ Surfing Lesson with Kele as a gifted, motivational instructor. Very hands on and gave great advice. Highly recommend!!
That is great to hear! We are so happy you enjoyed your time learning to surf with us. Mahalo for choosing to join us.
Kele was great with our teens. Group size was small which allowed for adequate individual attention on a great beach to learn.
Aloha. It's great to know that your crew had a good time learning to surf with us. Mahalo for sharing your nice comments, we appreciate it.
Our surf instructor Kele was great! He was very knowledgeable and took great care of my family including our 10 year old who was a little nervous about going.
Aloha Andrew. We are so glad you and your family had a memorable surfing experience with Kele. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments, we appreciate it.
Perfect add on experience for my trip! We stayed at Ko’a Kea so it was a no brainer. Super convenient!
Awesome! Thank you for choosing to surf with us and share your feedback. We are happy that you had a great time.
This was a wonderful experience to kick off our vacation and learn surfing basics. We started out practicing on dry land for form, and then took it to the water. Coach expertly guided us step by step on form and gave us practical tips for improvement after each attempt in the water. Coach taught us about watching the waves and when to stand timing. We felt like the lesson length was long enough to learn and get experience without being too long that we felt over done. Our kids (16) learned enough that they feel comfortable enough to continue trying to surf on their own. As a mom, I feel like it’s worth mentioning that we felt safe the entire time in the water. 10/10 recommend.
Aloha Sonia. Thank you so much for the positive comments about your surfing experience. This is exactly what we love to hear. I'm happy that you enjoyed your time with us. Mahalo.
We had a wonderful experience with our two friendly and helpful guides. We had six in our group age 9 to 64 and we were all able to ride several waves thanks to the help of the coaches.
That is great to hear! We are glad that you had a fun, positive surf experience. We appreciate you taking the time to give your comments and feedback. Mahalo.
Coach Kele was awesome. Patient, funny, and he did a great job making sure to take care of us first timers especially since I was nervous!
Aloha Yanni. We are very happy that you and your family had a great time learning to surf with us. Mahalo for sharing your comments.
We had a great lesson with David, who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The sea current was extremely challenging for us beginners, and we left exhausted, but definitely happy.
Aloha. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your time learning to surf with David. Mahalo for choosing to join us.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. One of our favorite things about out trip to Kauai!
Aloha. That is so great to hear! Thank you for choosing to surf with us and sharing your nice comments. Mahalo.
USE SUNSCREEN, also it's better to not take a break and just keep going otherwise it's hard to get back into the water
Thank you for choosing to surf with us. We hope your time learning to surf was a great experience for you.
