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.

Family surfing experience
Highly recommend this surf school! The instructors were friendly, encouraging and kind. We had four kids that took the lesson and all were able to stand up and ride a wave multiple times. The instructors were knowledgeable teachers and gave helpful feedback throughout the lesson. We cannot recommend this experience enough!

Would highly recommend for first time surfers.
We had 3 "kids" 21, 17 and 12, who took a semi-private lesson, so it was 3 students to one instructor. They were all beginners. All of them loved it. They said it was very tiring lol, but overall great experience. The location chosen was perfect for first timers. They liked the instructor. The photos taken by another instructor/surfer were a fun addition. The moms were able to sit on the back and watch as they surfed which was nice. The whole staff was great to work with. Great communication from them.

Mahalo, Max!
My teenage daughters had such a fun experience during their private surf lesson with Max. Max was patient, informative, laid-back and supportive. It was their first time surfing and they both were able to get up and successfully ride several waves. The surf shop is super convenient to the beach. My husband and I were given beach chairs to be able to comfortably watch from the beach. Mahalo to Max for a memorable day!

Surfs up!
As a solo traveler trying surfing for the very first time, my private lesson with Marco and the Ohana Surf Project was an experience I’ll never forget. Marco took care of me every step of the way. He was incredibly patient, kind, supportive, and encouraging, especially when I was one of the last people to finally stand up on the board. Not once did I feel discouraged. The entire team and even the other participants cheered me on and celebrated my success like it was their own. To top it all off, they captured the experience with amazing photos and videos that I’ll treasure forever. If you’re thinking about learning to surf in Waikiki, this is the team you want by your side!

Great Fun
The experience was epic. The instructors were patient and kind and allowed us to learn how to get up nicely. I would totally recommend it to anyone. It was an experience I will take to all my friends and family who want to come to Hawaii to experience such a fun time.

Totally worth it.
My daughter has wanted to take a surf lesson for ages and we finally did it. The paddling is hard work, the ocean is salty and you’ll fall a lot, but once you catch a wave, you’ll realize it’s worth it. The instructor was helpful, super encouraging and kind. There is a photo package available to view before buying. Compared to other photos for sale, I felt like the pictures were much cooler. If you are looking for an active beach activity, I definitely recommend stoke-drift.

Fantastic Surfing Experience
This was a highlight of our vacation in Hawaii. We had so much fun learning to surf! The instructors were patient and encouraging and had picked the perfect spot with waves that were just right for beginners. They even adjusted our time slightly to ensure the tide was just right. Everyone got up and rode several waves all the way to the beach. By the end of the lesson, the kids were begging us to buy a surfboard!

Great experience! Both my...
Great experience! Both my husband and I were standing up and riding waves by the end of the lesson, our instructor was very knowledgeable and helped us to feel comfortable and confident on the boards! We also saw some sea turtles while paddling out which was cool. Fun and unique experience, would definitely do again!

Absolutely amazing day!
We had an absolutely amazing experience. We have been dreaming of surfing at Waikiki for many years and the experience with the help of our instructors. Kevin and Harry was better than we could’ve imagined. We had two beginner surfers as well and both of them had an absolute blast and caught a whole bunch of waves. We’ve been talking about it constantly for the last 24 hours. Thank you so very much for making this experience so wonderful.

Wonderful surfing experience
The entire team was absolutely awesome. We got plenty of time out on the water, even though the waves weren’t quite hitting. My seven-year-old rode tandem with an instructor and he had a wonderful time. My 10-year-old, my wife, and I all got to catch plenty of waves and had a great time.
The team was organized, friendly and amazing they took GoPro video of all of us surfing, and the footage was exceptional. Nice long rides, and they provided trash guards and water shoes. I can’t recommend them enough.
