Experience was a must have for people travelling to Hawaii! My partner had little surfing experience and I had one but we were able to both have a great time and catch some waves. Cole was a great instructor who was patient with attention to detail.
Super fun private surf lesson at stoke drift surf school. Instructor Kiai was awesome super fun dude to spend the morning with learning to surf. Made learning easy and fun and we both caught a ton of waves. The photos taken were great too. Awesome experience, totally worth it and highly recommended.
Great family surf lesson for myself & 3 kids with Chaz and Kaden. They were calm and professional throughout and made us all feel at ease. The kids managed to catch some great waves and we loved the photos taken by the stoke drift team. Would definitely recommend this experience!
My 9 & 11 year old had the BEST time learning to surf! The instructors were so friendly and patient with them. Both were able to get up on their boards and ride waves in no time with no previous surfing experience. The kids can’t wait to do it again!
Great experience! Really loved this surf school! Chaz and Eric were great! They have a photographer that went out with them and got great shots of this fun experience!
My daughter has wanted to take a surf lesson for ages and we finally did it. The paddling is hard work, the ocean is salty and you’ll fall a lot, but once you catch a wave, you’ll realize it’s worth it. The instructor was helpful, super encouraging and kind. There is a photo package available to view before buying. Compared to other photos for sale, I felt like the pictures were much cooler. If you are looking for an active beach activity, I definitely recommend stoke-drift.
Best group of folks to teach anyone how to surf! So kind and pleasant to be around! Didn’t feel like a customer, it felt more like hanging out with friends! No disrespect to the others, lol, but CHAZ IS THE BEST! Our daughter is hooked after one day with Chaz! He made the day an experience to remember! And get the new black tee with green logo! See you in the water! Mahalo and Aloha!
The experience is really smooth. The trainer is really helpful and friendly, he explained everything well, I stood up in my first try. The photo is also wonderful
Nice and friendly people teaching you how to surf. Very patient. They made it fun and never gave up on you.
We had a wonderful time! Our instructors Dane and Keith were absolutely amazing. They were so patient and friendly to talk to. They genuinely want you to do well. It is a far paddle to the waves but it is worth it! Calm waves and shallow waters.
