Great surf lesson

Patrice_G, Dec 2022

Great instructor. Very patient and took his time to really help you get the hang of things. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Aloha Patrice- We are thrilled to hear you had an excellent experience in the water. Please catch some more waves with us sometime in the near future. Mahalo for taking the time to give us a 5 star rating and write your review 🤙

terrible surfing experience

george_p, Jul 2022

our instructor was not into teaching. he literally told us to paddle harder, didn't give any useful advice other than stand up on the surf board. he was lackadaisical in his attitude and couldnt really muster the energy to show any excitement for what he was doing. he didnt even bother saying goodbye at the end of our time.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Aloha George- We would like to first and foremost apologize that you had less than an amazing experience on your surf lesson. We will be sure to follow up with the instructor you had that day and review our standard for excellent customer service so this shouldn't happen again. However, please do let us know how we could have made this a 5 star experience for you. Mahalo.

Amazing Experience!

Robyn_J, Apr 2022

I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to do this. IT WAS AWESOME! When in Hawaii...Surf! Really a great experience, definitely recommend it.

Not for beginners

lauren_w, Jun 2021

We had a great time, but the instructors were not very patient with beginners. They barely gave any instruction on land (maybe 1 minute worth) and basically put us out in the ocean without any idea of what to do. The instructor we had left us while we were out there, paddled way far ahead of us, and was very stern with at us out there. With the way the instructors were, this should definitely not be for beginners. Again, great time, got great pictures, but the staff could’ve been nicer!

Response from Host, Jun 2021

We are so sorry to hear that our instructors were not patience. Please let us know via e-mail as to exactly what date/time you took the lesson so that we can find out which instructor was assigned to you so that we can n look into this further. Mahalo.
