Waves are perfect here to learn to surf, it's actually hard not to stand up! Charlie was an awesome instructor, super knowledgeable and helped us get back in the game after years since we last surfed. Also they have a surf package where you can get drone footage of all your failures and victories, highly recommend.

A wonderful beginners experience. I appreciated having a semiprivate lesson and that as a couple we had our own instructor.We did buy the photo package but we felt that they could have given us a little more attention since we splurged on it, versus trying to get other shorts of the other attendees who may or may not have purchased the package.Would definitely recommend!

While visiting Waikiki, we decided to send the kids on a surf adventure. They had a great time. The staff were great and friendly. My only critique is that there was a lot of time spent prior to getting out into the water reviewing protocols. This is helpful for beginners and basic safety rules are necessary for everyone but those who have experience shouldn't have to go over the basics in that detail. I would have appreciated more time in the water.

We had the best experience with Keaton for my nephew's first private surfing lesson! From start to finish, Keaton made sure he felt comfortable and confident, and my nephew absolutely loved it. Keaton’s patience, encouragement, and positive energy were exactly what a beginner needs. It was the perfect introduction to surfing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better coach. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun and supportive environment to learn! Five stars all the way!
