We had an amazing time learning to surf with Austin! He was an awesome instructor—clear, patient, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. He explained everything really well, which made it easy for us as beginners to pick things up quickly. On top of that, he was super friendly and great to talk with. Highly recommend booking with Austin if you’re looking to have a great time out on the waves!

10/10 experience. Sadly, we had the start time wrong, thankful Ramon gave us a quick call and we were able to still come 20min in. He gave a super helpful introduction to surfing prior to going into the water and went over safety precautions as well. Once we were able to properly get up on the board we got into the water. We had perfect weather and a bunch of waves. We got up almost every time and he made sure to give advice when needed. Honestly coolest guy and worth trying. We got some sick photos as well that we did end up getting. That is a separate charge but worth for almost 100photos.
If you’re considering doing a private lesson or group lesson, do private. We had a couple groups next to us as well that didn’t have as much success as us but they had 2 instructors to 8 people.
Can’t stress enough how worth this experiences was.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Wow, 10/10 even after the schedule mix-up. We love to hear that Ramon was able to get you dialed in quickly to make the most of your surf experience.
Mahalo for calling out the difference between private and group instruction. We only offer private lessons because we want every customer to feel like they received more attention, more waves, and more wins during their lesson!
Your feedback means a lot to us. 🤙🌊

Austin was awesome, really helped us figure out the right positions to use on the board and how to get started. He coached us through it and by the end both my brother and I figured out how to smoothly stand on the board. The whole experience was super fun and the photos turned out great.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

Exactly as described and super fun! We had a slow wave day but we still had a great time and saw a lot of turtles too!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Mahalo! We're glad the turtles showed up to say hi! If only we could have turned the wave dial up a notch.

It can take time to get up. Just don’t give up. They’re amazing and very patient. They show you everything you need to know before they get you in the water. It was really fun to learn how to surf with my oldest son. I would recommend it to friends and family
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Mahalo Katie! I'm glad that both you and your son had a great time surfing with us!

I highly recommend these lessons. I had taken a lesson several years ago in Oahu and could never get up and stay up on my board. This time, I was not only getting up and riding the waves all the way in, I was catching the waves on my own. The biggest difference is that our instructor Austin changed up the technique I used to get upright. He acknowledged that sometimes taller people (like me) struggle using the method I was taught at the Oahu lesson. So he gave me a method that worked and I had a blast.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Mahalo Ryan for surfing with us!! We are glad that the private lesson with Austin worked out so well!
Karl_M, Mar 2025
Our surf lesson excursion was an incredible experience! The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, making it easy for beginners to feel confident in the water. They provided clear instructions on technique, safety, and ocean awareness, ensuring we had a fun and safe time. The waves were perfect for learning, and with their expert guidance, I was able to catch my first wave! The atmosphere was relaxed and encouraging, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're a first-timer or looking to improve your skills, this lesson is a must-try. I highly recommend it for an unforgettable adventure!

This guy gets you on a wave and will teach you to stand up. His system works. The spot was beginner friendly. And so was the instructor. Very patient and looks out for you the whole time.
