**For the first time ever, I was catching waves BACK TO BACK, and I did it with Bradley!** 🙌🏽🌊 That feeling was absolutely incredible, and it’s something I’ll never forget. He knew how to guide me, give me the right tips, and help me believe in myself out there in the water. What I appreciated most was his energy, patience, and ability to make learning fun while still helping me improve. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. If you’re thinking about taking a surf lesson, BOOK WITH BRADLEY! Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve your skills, I highly recommend him. I’ve taken lessons before, but this experience was on another level\. He didn’t just teach me how to surf — he helped me experience the excitement of actually catching waves consistently!

Had a lovely time out on the water with Chad! I had never surfed before and we got right out there, he made sure we were super safe and took it at a tempo appropriate to our skill level. Overall it was really lovely and I would totally do it again.

Kona surf great experience
My 11 year old son and I booked a lesson and met our instructor Chad. Weather being what it is, we had booked the only day of the week with little to no swells. We were offered to book for later in the day with no issues and showed up in the afternoon. A few more swells and a great instructor (Chad) who figured out to keep it fun even as we waited for swells good enough to surf. My son had so many questions about the area and surfing and Chad gave us so much good info. My son said it was one of his best experiences. Highly recommend trying out these guys.
