Preston did an awesome...

Josh_C, May 2026

Preston did an awesome job teaching all levels. We had 5 in our group, ranging from 8 to 40 and everyone was able to get up and surf. He was great with kids and helped all of them have a blast. Great time, would book again.

One of the best experiences of my life

Smiljana_D, May 2026

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!...

Sarah_H, Apr 2026

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.

Preston gave my 14 year...

Preston gave my 14 year old son a surfing lesson. He was great! My son had a really good time learning to how to surf!

Wonderful surf lesson from Preston

Brent_O, Mar 2026

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!

Great, Patient Instruction Aloha

Kyle_F, Feb 2026

Friendly and very good instructions. Caught multiple waves and received great coaching tips after each one. Flexible on the scheduling the day before we had rain and Preston decided it was better to try the next morning. The waves were much more beginner friendly and lead to a better experience. He was also patient with my partner who isn’t a strong swimmer and first time on a surf board in the ocean. She caught a couple waves as well!
