Great experience! - It was an amazing experience! This company is professional and has more beach licenses than others which made a difference i think in the overall experience. Instructors are knowledgeable and personable! I’ll be coming back!

Great lesson, friendly instructor - Amazing lesson. I did a group lesson on a recent trip to kona. The instructor was great! The location had great waves but wasn't to challenging. I felt very safe the whole time, the instructor was very clear and friendly. He was obviously knowledgeable. If you want to learn how to surf i would highly recommend these guys. The instructor got me up and I road 6 to 10 waves over my 2 hour lesson.

Great experience, very nice teacher - I’ve been born twice: once thirty years ago in a hospital at the hands of a surgeon, and again two days ago in the Pacific Ocean at the hands of Kaleo. One was medical, the other was magical.

Favorite activity of the week for our 19 year old! - My daughter had a great experience with the private surf lesson in Kona with Ohana Surf. Her instructor Max was amazing. She learned what she needed to on land, then with his help timing the waves, she got up every time after the first wipeout :-). Was a perfect amount of time (not too little, not too much) and was her favorite activity of the whole week on the Big Island. Thank you Max, from your friends in North Carolina!

Wonderful experience - We took lessons two days in a raw as we had such a wonderful time. Max and Koa are fantastic instructors. We felt very safe and could catch waves many times. The ocean is so clear and waves are calm, perfect for the beginners. These instructors are remarkable young individuals. We could learn a lot about the island and people here on top of surfing skills. We will definitely come back!

Great surf instructors who will get you standing up! - Brad is awesome. So is the other guy (forgot his name). Super great vibes and willing to take you where you can push your limit if you want to (while keeping you safe and creating good boundaries). First time I’ve ever stood up on a surf board and felt sturdy.
