Sander was a fantastic communicator and super helpful arranging a lesson for our group of teenage boys. He sought out proper water shoes for all the boys and arranged for transportation to and from our resort. Joe lead the class and he was incredibly friendly and gracious and the boys had a blast!
The teacher was amazing and very detailed explanations helped to learn fast. My son loved it it and want to do again and again now!!:)
We had the best time! We took a surfing lesson with the instructor Sander! He is an amazing person. Loved every second he made everything so clear fun and easy! Would definitely go back again anytime and would 100% recommend this to anyone! Thanks for making our trip 1000 times better!
My pleasure girls. It was so nice to meet you. Keep surfing!
The tour guide never showed up. I tried contacting them several times and I got no response. It was a waste of my time.
We learned to how to a stand on the surf board. Staying on the board was an amazing feeling. Manual was very skillful and professional.
This experience was so much fun. The fact that you can learn to surf at sunset with new friends and incredible instructors just doesn’t compare to much else. The instructions were clear in the beginning and we were able to set good expectations for the session. The instructors gave us the best opportunities for catching waves which made all the difference. So happy I chose this company to learn to surf with! Highly recommend❤️
Really nice and helpful staff. The gear is also very good I don’t need to say anything else I would recommend for everyone!
Gracias amigo :)
Great spot, perfect instructors, handling very easy. We loved it. Will do it again. Absolutely recomendable.
Everyone did great. See you next time!
Before I started the lesson, I wasn’t sure if I was capable of standing on a surfboard. But I gave it a trie! The friendly surfinstructor and the beautiful sea with its waves, made my insecurities disappear. I learned some great techniques which led to a great surfexperience. Very thankfull for this awesome experience!
Thanks so much Joost, very nice to have you with us. keep riding those waves!
I’m not a surfer girl but with the instructors in Aloha make me believe I could it and it was an amazing experience. My husband and I enjoy the ride with the waves and the guide was amazing. 100% recomendable even if you didn’t try as me before. So much fun. Thank you 🙏🏽
