Great teacher, instant success - Our two teenagers (18, 16) has a blast with Nate. He was very kind, patient and encouraging. The kids had instant success in riding waves in beautiful Hanalei bay. A great experience! The bay is incredibly gorgeous, white sand beach, green mountains, boats anchoring. Booking, check-in, transfer, everything went smoothly. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We would return but, alas, we’re leaving luscious Kauai for Oahu. Thanks for the great time.

Exceeded our high expectations. - An amazing experience at one of the most beautiful places on earth! HSA made it so easy and fun! Evan is a great instructor. While we learned, we laughed a lot.

Fantastic experience - The session far exceeded our expectations. The check in staff were so kind and accommodating. You get a complimentary wet suit for the session. Our instructor was phenomenal and worked tirelessly with us to help us try to catch every wave. These have to be the best surfing lessons on the island.

Awessome - I have taken several lessons with them over the years. All the instructors are great. My personal favorite is Big Sean because I am old and slow and he is patient. Book with them. You will not regret it. It seems to be that everyone catches waves. And you are surfing in the most beautiful place on earth.

Repeat customer! - After a great experience surfing with their instructors in 2023, we booked 2 private sessions this year (last year we surfed as a couple, but due to injury this year my husband surfed on his own). His two morning sessions with Big Nate were fantastic - surfing at Pinetrees and Pavillion on separate days, and I was able to watch from the beach. The instructors are great at teaching technique, providing encouragement, and of course keeping students safe! We will be booking again and would highly recommend.
