Absolutely recommend it! My girlfriend and I had a super great surf lesson with Jon. We've never ridden so many waves as we did that day! Jon did a great job. If you want to learn to surf, this is the right place for you

The best surfing excursion in Oahu

Russell_C, Jun 2025

If you’re nervous about a surfing excursion or looking for that private beech feel on Oahu, book with 808 Surf School!! Surfing was a bucket list item for my 13 year old daughter and I (Dad) tagged along. While she was admittedly better than me, our 2 hour private session flew by. We were both up on our boards many times and by the end totally comfortable on our boards. Our instructor Kaiser was so much fun. He encouraged us the whole time and gave great tips to make us more confident through the afternoon. He embodied the Aloha vibe. The beach was perfect. Not crowded like some of the other tours we’ve seen, and the waves kept coming! Do yourself a favor and book with 808 Surf School!

Andy and Mike were great keeping in contact with the changing tides. Andy was the instructor for 2 teens and 2 young adults and did amazing! They all were able to get on the boards and really enjoyed their time. It was so much fun to watch! Highly recommend!!!

This was a great experience! Andy did an amazing job making sure we understood everything before getting in the water. I would definitely take lessons from him again! He is very encouraging and patient when he teaches, and tells you what adjustments to make when needed.

808 Surfing is a GREAT experience! We got lessons for 3 of us (2 girls 6&8 yrs old) first time surfing. Hugo was our instructor and as a dad taking lessons with his daughters, Hugo was awesome. He catered to the kids and made them feel comfortable and ensured they had fun!

Making Fantastic Family memories with Mike and 808 Surf School

Amanda_H, Mar 2020

Mike and his crew are awesome! Very professional, organized, and fun. Mike was fantastic with keeping up good communication in the days leading up to our lesson. We are a family of 5 - totally new to surfing and Mike and his crew had us up catching waves right away, and they provided a photo service to preserve our fantastic family memories. Truly a well run organization. Thank you for a truly amazing experience 808 Surf School!!! - Mandy and family
