Thomas was a superb teacher. We did a 2-person lesson and we both caught waves. Excellent value and just a fun way to spend 2 hours at the beach.

A great first-time surfing experience! As someone in their early 30s trying surfing for the first time, I expected the lesson to be challenging—but Kai made the whole experience approachable and fun. He was patient, encouraging, and really guided me through the basics so I could get a feel for surfing. The only minor issue was with logistics: I didn’t receive a heads-up beforehand from the surf company and had a bit of trouble finding the exact location. A quick message in advance would make it perfect. Highly recommend for beginners!

Grandson said it was the most fun ever. He really learned alot and had a great experience. I liked that they focused on safety, too.

Instructors were great with my son and he had a blast. He was able to surf on his own after two two hour sessions.

My son had a blast! This was his second time taking lessons, but the first time riding solo on a board. Bradley was amazing and gave my son the added confidence to catch a wave (while standing!). If you’re ever on the Big Island. We recommend 1:1 sessions with Bradley

Alex and Koa were great instructors. We did the private surf lessons (kids 12 and 14) and the instructors were so great and patient. My kids loved every minute. The company was great about communicating about a change in location when the waves weren’t big enough at the original
Spot. Great experience and definitely a memory to last a lifetime.

Did a two hour solo session and had a blast. It was my first time surfing and was actually able to ride some waves. Will definitely book again my next trip to Kona

Kaleo had me standing up almost immediately! Waves hit the first time out. Highly recommend him! So much fun.

Bradley ist ein toller Lehrer und feiner Mensch. Er hat mich trotz meiner anfänglich stümperhaften Versuche immer motiviert weiterzumachen.
Ein herzliches Danke für das einzigartige Erlebnis!
