One of the best experiences of my life - I had an amazing time during my surfing class with Kamalu! He was an incredible guide - super patient, encouraging, and really knew how to break things down in a way that made it easy to learn. Amazingly, he managed to get me up on the board during my very first waves, which I honestly didn’t expect at all. That feeling was unforgettable. This ended up being one of the best experiences of my life, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about trying surfing.

Such a fun surf lesson!... - Such a fun surf lesson! Preston is a highly skilled instructor. I had never surfed before and didn’t expect to catch a wave at all - let alone so early in the lesson. He was patient, encouraging, and made the whole experience enjoyable.

Wonderful surf lesson from Preston - My wife and I took lessons (our first time ever) today from Preston. He was awesome. Gave clear, complete instructions. Was patient and kind. It was not a very long session but we (physically) couldn’t handle more (it wore me out). Yet in the short time we had, Preston had us both up on the board riding waves. (And at 60+ we are not spring chickens.) Thank you Preston!

Preston was a no show. - Preston never showed up to the surf lesson. Waited 30 minutes and he never showed up. Called 5 times and he never answered the phone and didn't call back after I left a message. Later I recieved a cancelation claiming the weather was bad even though the skies were clear that day and conditions were good.
