Excellent service and excellent quality instructor!!! - Great service in the office, very helpful. My instructor “Sergio Dissaro” was great!! I was a first time surfer, 49 years old. He had me up within 15 minutes of the lesson. Highly recommend Sergio!!

Ride those waves! - This is a great way to learn the basics of surfing. Waikīkī has small waves that are perfect for beginners. The private lesson was worth the cost and allowed more coaching and riding more waves. Get the drone package to prove you did it! Niko was a great teacher and his insights and small adjustments sped my progress more than a group class would have.

Taught the old dog a new trick - This was an amazing “bucket list” experience. I booked a private lesson for my 65th birthday with the goal of standing up at least once. My instructor, Niko, made sure I met and surpassed my goal. He was great. He was encouraging and able to provide the right amount of feedback so I could gradually improve with each wave. Yes, I stood repeatedly and felt confident the whole time. I got the drone package to prove I did it and was thrilled to feel the waves push me along. You can do it!

You won’t regret this decision - It was a great experience for me! Charlie is a great instructor who has fantastic training skills. I got onto the board successfully a few times, I wasn’t expecting that at all!

Amazing experience! - Awesome morning with Hans’ surf school! My husband and I did a Semi private lesson and our sons (ages 7 and 9) had private lessons. We almost cancelled because of the weather and were so glad we didn’t! We all got up and were able to ride the waves. Guides were warm and wonderful instructors. Highly recommend!

Great first surf experience! - We had tons of fun learning to surf today! Hans himself patiently taught my husband and I to catch a wave and stand for a few seconds on the board. In the mean time, our daughters (7 & 10) were having the time of their life with Lauren and Adonis, two very kid-friendly instructors. Thank you for making our trip to Hawaii more memorable!

Awesome Experience - Private tour was 100% worth it, the big group was like 20+ people. It was just me and my brother and we each had our own instructor. They were both awesome and went with the vibe each of us had, very much appreciated!! Due to construction, we showed up a few minutes late and no one gave us any pushback, very much appreciated!!
