Great first time surfing experience - This was me and my girlfriends first time surfing, we had a great time and would definitely recommend it to anyone. The instructors were so patient and truly just wanted you to do your best. They started with an intro to how to get up and made sure you were comfortable before heading out. They provided you with water shirts and reef shoes which was definitely needed. You put all your stuff in a tub and kept it secure. They got great pictures and videos of us and were so glad we bought the picture package before arriving because it was a lot cheaper!

Amazing experience - Our lesson with Mark at Ohana Surf Project was a highlight of our vacation. My daughter was nervous, and he had her riding the waves in no time. His skill and patience was amazing, and we saw the same dedication and positive attitude from everyone we met at Ohana Surf Project. The photos and videos that they took were an outstanding souvenir from our trip. I highly recommend this company for anyone wanting to try something new and have an amazing experience in Honolulu.

Amazing! - This was amazing. The instructors are so patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Me and my sons had an amazing time. The photo package is also super reasonable compared to many other businesses. We had a wonderful and memorable time. We went at noon on a Monday and the area they took us wasn’t crowded at all. I’m not in the best shape of my life and did get tired at points. For sure load up on water, some stretching and a solid meal before going.
