Get instruction and experience - Great experience from start to finish! Getting to the start location was extremely easy. Valet was very helpful in directions to the shop. The shop attendant was very friendly and had a very fun and easy going attitude. My instructor was anmazing. We were one of the first appointments and so we just happened to be lucky enough to get a private instruction since no one else was on with us for that time slot and we got a few hours of instruction! It was amazing! Got up a few times but over all was an amazing experiences and would absolutely recommend to anyone else!

A fun and exhilarating experience for all - Everything about our surfing lesson was terrific! Lelani checked us in and got us suited up for our surfing lesson. She was very warm, welcoming, and helpful with making sure we had comfortable shoes and tops. My daughters, son-in-law, and I had a fun time taking surfing lessons with Kele. This was the first time for all of us except for my younger daughter who had surfed once before. Kele provided thorough instruction and gentle guidance on how to get up and stay on the board for the smoothest ride and how to fall so we wouldn’t accidentally get hurt. He was very encouraging and made sure we rode on appropriate waves for our skill level. It was an awesome experience that we will never forget. I would definitely do it again.

Friendly and competent - Very friendly and competent surf instructor. Explained everything great. First you practice briefly on land and then you go into the water. It is possible to surf “properly” in the first hour.

Afternoon Surf Hangout - My husband and I had basically no previous experience with surfing before this and we had so much fun! Kele and Ikaika made the whole experience feel like we were just out surfing with friends! They were very patient with my clumsiness, lol, and cheered us on the whole way!! We had an amazing afternoon with them and our group! We also liked that it wasn't such a huge group of people so we were all able to have fun without bumping into each other! Thank yall so much for such a great experience!

Grandkids favorite! - My granddaughters who are 12 and 9 said this was their favorite thing we did all week. They are very athletic and were able to surf. My daughters who are in their early forties found it quite challenging. The beach was beautiful and the instructor was wonderful!
