Surf lesson - It was my first time surfing, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. I had such an amazing time, especially out on the beautiful Waikiki waters 🌺. My instructor, Presley, was incredibly informative, patient, and made the whole experience fun and unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better first surf lesson—highly recommend 10 / 10 experience

Awesome instructor - The lesson was with a highly experienced instructor, Jameson was an awesome teacher and he explained how to do the basics and when he saw that I was prepared for increasing my level he just introduced new techniques! I learned a lot and so fast! Thank you Jameson. I’m so grateful!

Learn to Surf at any Age! - This is a great experience for surfers of any level! The patience and attention that Preston provided made me feel a lot more comfortable after not being on a board for 15 years. Plus, he is a native Hawaiian and was able to answer many random questions I had about Hawaii and Waikiki.
