Great experience for the whole group and for one on one - This was such a great and fun experience! We had a big group - 10 people and 3 of us had private lessons. Everyone - Noah, Brandon, Owen, Elijah, Tyler, Derek- was so knowledge and helpful and helped make the experience much more amazing, especially as a beginner. The photos that Ranasha took were also really great!

10/10 - absolutly recommend! - Perfect experience, 10/10!!! We took a semi private lesson with just my boyfriend and I and our teacher Reid. He was an amazing instructor and such a friendly young guy and it didnt take us long to stand on the Board and catch our firsr waves (we never tried Surfing before so we really were beginners). Reid is just amazing, analyses the mistakes very quickly, so you do even better and better on the next wave. Furthermore he is very kind and just a chill guy to talk to. Definitely would recommend to book a lesson with him. Best surfing teacher! ;-) Also Ranasha, the photographer, took amazing pictures of our lesson, so we ended up buying all of them, because they were just perfectly shot. We will come back again for sure!!!

Nervous first timer conquers the waves 🏄🏽‍♀️ - Caesar was an amazing teacher. I was very nervous starting the class. He was kind, considerate and reassuring and at the same ensured I never missed a wave! For a first timer who was very nervous I caught 3 waves and had an amazing time…thank you Jamie O’Brien surf school, thank you Caesar and thank you Hawaii…would highly recommend them and the surfing experience 🤙🏽🏄🏽‍♀️

Happy made me happy ! - Happy made it possible to overcome my fear of ocean, and made my first ‘Stand Up Paddle’ experience so….. memorable, easy and fun. This experience with Happy has made me feel more secure with myself. He is an excellent teacher. And he shared his natural wit and humor with me which really helped me to relax and overcome my anxiety and fear of standing on the paddle board. He truly made me Happy… and more importantly less fearful of the Ocean!
