Fabulous experience for my two kids who are 7 and 5. Leann and Reeves were so professional and made it so fun. The kids had a blast. They also took amazing photos and videos. I highly recommend this activity while visiting Honolulu. We will definitely do it again.
The entire team was absolutely awesome. We got plenty of time out on the water, even though the waves weren’t quite hitting. My seven-year-old rode tandem with an instructor and he had a wonderful time. My 10-year-old, my wife, and I all got to catch plenty of waves and had a great time. The team was organized, friendly and amazing they took GoPro video of all of us surfing, and the footage was exceptional. Nice long rides, and they provided trash guards and water shoes. I can’t recommend them enough.
They very patient with me even though I didn't know what I was doing. Very knowledgeable. Made it fun , wasn't like a tutorial. I highly recommend them
This was a great experience! Staff was patient, knowledgeable and so encouraging. My husband caught waves and really enjoyed himself. I learned to face a fear of waves in the ocean and actually caught a wave. I highly recommend! Thank you so much. They also gave advice on future surfing spots.
Great people, perfect setting, very patient and helpful with us beginners. Two out of three of us were able to stand up on the board by the end of the lesson.
You guys need to try this experience!! And also thank you so much for liane who teach me how to surf, she’s so nice and patient with me the whole time.. gotta try again foe sure!!
Hands down one of the best experiences my family has ever had. Just perfect. Everything was perfect!
We (two novices who has never surfed before) went in without any expectations and we had a blast! Reaves and Deuce were the best. We caught more than one wave which was way more than we thought we would catch. Highly recommend this surfing lesson!
Awesome instructors !!! They were so patience with me 16 yr old and 9 yr old. Liane and the male instructor (my apologies- forgot his name) were amazing and are very good at what they do. My girls had a blast. Totally recommend!
Liane is a nice surfer instructor. Im fairly new to surfing. I certainly recommend that you book lessons here and start enjoying the waves;)
