Our lesson was cancelled due to weather. This company is dishonest and has refused to reimburse me. For months I have called, emailed, and gave filed a dispute with my credit card company. Obviously the weather is outside of their control but honesty and integrity is. I don’t like to complain publicly but I’m hopeful this will gain some attention from the company to maybe receive a call back.
Kids had an amazing time. They all were able to stand and surf well before end of session and continues enjoying themselves until they were dog tired at the end of session. Our Instructor was very helpful and also watched out for their safety. It’s highly physical and make sure to bring extra sun protection. Glasses with straps and a UV cap are recommended. My daughter brined her scalp. The location is very rocky in the shallow so difficult to watch them close up. Bring water shoes if you want to go in. Park is nice for a picnic and has restaurants nearby.
Donald and his team were incredibly welcoming and kind to me and my friend during my friend's first surf lesson! My friend stood up on her first wave thanks to Donald and his super clear instruction! The beach that they held the lesson at (Kalama Beach Park) was very gentle and a perfect location for a first-timer. Donald and his team made it a great morning on the water and even stayed out for a bit longer since my friend was having so much fun. They also took great pictures of the entire experience! Thanks to Donald and the team for a joy-filled surfing experience!
I recently went out with Sean for a 1-2 hour lesson off The Cove/Kalama Park. The surf was so small but it was still a blast- gorgeous way to experience the beauty of the island. Sean was very attentive, friendly, and professional. Overall, it was very chill, very fun, and highly recommended!
We had an amazing morning with Sean and Indie. Before going out on the water, my wife told me even though she paid for the lesson, she was nervous about surfing so would probably watch from the beach. She ended up surfing the entire time with a smile on her face thanks to Sean and Indie. Sean was helpful, instructive, and non judgmental and really made us comfortable before getting on our boards. Indie took great pictures. We could've stayed out on the water for hours. One of our best honeymoon experiences. Thanks Sean and Indie!
Chris and Jayden were super friendly and helpful - they made us feel like pros even though it was only our second time out. Highly recommend them for a beginner surf lesson. They even made us a nice edited video of our rides for free! We had a great time, would highly recommend them!
Aloha and mahalo for this fantastic review! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed your time with our instructors! Chris and Jaden were recognized for there hard work!! Mahalo once again!
What an amazing day we had with Aloha Surf School! We just returned from our trip to Maui and my teens' (16 and 18) favorite activity was the time we spent learning to surf with Chris. From the moment I reached out to Kevin the owner, the communication was prompt and accommodating. He was completely willing to work around our schedule to ensure we had the best experience. We arrived at the beach and Cruz (sp?) and Chris took great care of us, getting us set up and teaching us the basics. My husband hung on the sidelines, but I decided to surf with the kids and so glad I did. Once we hit the water, Chris was patient, fun and coached us for almost 2 hours! I can't recommend Aloha Surf School enough, this crew is the best! We will definitely return, thank you Kevin!!
Mahalo Nui Loa for coming out with us! We are glad that you enjoyed our services. We want to personally thank you for going above and beyond to leave this fabulous review. Chirs is an amazing instructor! I am glad that we got the chance to take care of you with the Aloha Spirit in the air! Mahalo once again ~Kruz S. Hawaiian Ocean Sports, Aloha Surf School
What sets Hawaiian Ocean Sports and Aloha Surf School apart from the many other options you have?!? It’s the incredibly passionate and patient instructors! You can tell this isn’t “just a job” for them…they really want you to walk away with not only success but a passion for the sport. They even got my 51 year old rear end up on a wave or two. This may have very well been the best life experience my 18 year old daughter has had to date. Mahalo for making our first day on Maui one to remember!
Aloha, and mahalo for reviewing your surf lesson with Aloha Surf School. We are glad you enjoyed our amazing instructors and the experience we set for you all. No matter how young, we are able to get you standing and having a good time out in the water. Mahalo once again!
The guys were awesome! Had such a good time learning to surf! Awesome instructors and will definitely be returning next time I come!
