Highly recommended! - So fun we did it twice! Our instructors were attentive and helpful. They took great care of our would-be surfers! The locale for novice surfers was perfect. Everyone got up on their boards multiple times! Thank you to all of our instructors!

Fun excursion - My daughter wanted a lesson for her 18th birthday. The location was perfect for beginners. Joe told her exactly what was going to take place and out they went. He taught her the basics and then let her go as he watched for waves that she could ride on. I had read reviews saying the instructors just sits there and do nothing. I think this isn’t all fair. They are watching and waiting to give the go ahead to the surfer. It’s a sport of great patience and the ocean will do what it wants and when. I have to say that it is the customer that is either interested in learning or not. I would recommend this excursion and was pleased with the lesson my daughter received. Joe was great as an instructor.

Amazing!! - I brought my son and his friend and the experience was amazing. They were up and surfing in no time at all. The teaching was so good my son said next time I’ll just get a board and go!!!

Attentive instruction - Took my teen son on our first day in Hawaii. We're East Coasters, so he needed some proper instruction as it'd been a year since he'd been on a board in proper surf. His instructor was incredibly patient, customizing the guidance for a boy who had both some skills but who still needed guidance on how to pick the right wave (and what proper surf etiquette looked like!)

Amazing experience for 1st time surfers!! - We booked this activity for 1st time surfers for our 4 girls between 9-12 yrs age group. They loved it and were able to surf by themselves by 3rd try. We were amazed to see our girls having so much fun!! Private tutors were very helpful and encouraging the girls keep goingl!!

Great Private Lesson - Arie was a great tutor (I did a private lesson with her). I can now stand on the wave well! It was a fun time! But if anyone wants to book and looking for the location, you may need to look for the truck with the sign Send Town Kona Surfer (Something similar to it) as they company packs their truck near Kahalu’u beach park (on the roadside)
