Surfing in Poipu - Kele was amazing!! Lesson started with fundamentals in the grass then we went to the water. Very happy the company provided us with long sleeves to wear as it was cold. Kele was a fantastic teacher/coach. My husband and I both had so much fun! We even saw monk seals on the beach. Would definitely come back to surf again!

Great surfing lesson! - David was a great instructor for our family surfing lesson. Some of us had tried surfing before, and one had never been on a board, but he was able to tailor individual instruction to each if us. I would definitely recommend him for anyone trying to learn surfing in Kauai--individuals or families

Fun Experience - Booked Surf Lessons for my kids on my trip to Kauai. They are located in Ko'a Kea resort in Poipu locality. The beach there is ok since it has rocks in some parts and became crowded with many surfing but other than that kids had fun and coaches took care of them well though it's a group lesson. They have provided instructions including on safety before the start and then guided them into the ocean. They have multiple instructors. Overall kids enjoyed it and recommend their services.
