The greatest surfing experience ever!
Me and my husband had the greatest time ever trying to learn how to surf with Andy from 808 surf School for the first time! We had the beach all to ourselves, and with Andys great instructions we both managed to catch many waves despite it being our first time trying out surfing. He is really good at teaching people how to surf, and you can tell that he loves what he is doing and that he is super experienced and knowledgeable. It was also really easy to get in contact with them to ask questions regarding the upcoming lesson. We really recommend Andy and 808 surf school.

Excellent experience!
Andy was an excellent instructor - both my daughter and I got up on our first try! - and we had a blast! Minimal shore instruction, we got in the water and learned by doing and Andy made it very easy. Would do this again without question.
Note they contact you the day-of with a location - I wasn’t expecting that and initially was confused - but they pick the beach based on the day’s weather and tides to give an optimal experience. Worked out so well in our favor and we had a beach almost completely to ourselves!

Unforgettable experience with incredible and knowledgeable instructors!
We had such a great experience that I booked an advanced second lesson for my son. For the first lesson, Andy helped me and my son from not knowing anything about surfing to be able to learn how to stand in the board to surfing for two full hours. We were in the water within the first 20 minutes so it is well worth it. Also, the location that he used was perfect for beginners, it helped us learn how to surf without being intimidated. As the time passed by and we kept surfing, we got bigger waves which made it super fun since we were more comfortable using the board.
For the advanced lesson, my son had Mike as the instructor. He had so much fun and was able to shred many waves! The location that Mike used had bigger waves and the beach wasn’t crowded which worked perfect! Mike was always there instructing and encouraging him. Both Mike and Andy are great people and you will 100% have a safe and fun time. I trusted them and as a result, we are bringing back lifetime memories with us. If you want to learn how to surf or want to have a fun experience with your family, please book the lesson with them. You will create unforgettable memories! Also, they communicate very well. Give them a call and they will suggest the best time/date to go. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing - we could not have asked for more!
Absolutely amazing! Instructor Andy was fantastic, he had two prairie kids with zero experience up and surfing on their first try - I honestly couldn't believe it. They caught tons of waves and had a blast. Andy was friendly, patient and gave them so much confidence - we could not have asked for more. We had a great time on Oahu, but the 808 Surf School was the highlight of our trip! Thanks so much and they can't wait to come back.

Great expirience!
My husband and I got these lessons for our 10 year anniversary and we loved our surf lessons for so many reasons!!! First, we loved the location. We had lessons near the north shore, in a lesser used beach area, and we loved having the location mostly to ourselves. There was no bumping into other surfers or other people to laugh at our mishaps 🤣. Secondly, we got Andy as our instructor and he ensured we spent as much time in the water catching waves as possible. He was happy and helpful and gave us other recommendations for our trip including things to do and places to eat. He got my husband and I surfing for the first time. It was a real blast and I would highly recommend using this company if you get a chance!

Quintessential surf lessons from great instructor
Andy was fantastic! He loves what he does, and is great at sharing his passion with his students. He's a stand-up dude who earned my respect. So kind and freely sharing with everyone around him. What a great lesson! Thanks again!

First time surfing
Amazing first time surfing experience with 808 Surf School! Our instructor, Hugo, was great at making sure we understood how to surf and what to expect once we were in the water. Perfect location for beginners. I highly recommend taking lessons from 808 surf school. A must do while visiting Oahu.
