Awesome surf experience - My daughter and I went surfing for our first time with Cole and Chaz at Stoke Drift. We had an amazing time and both of us got up and rode multiple waves during our surf lesson. Cole and Chaz were knowledgeable and fun to learn from. Everything was low pressure and fun. They even took pictures of us surfing with Diamond Head in the background. Awesome time. Definitely recommend Cole, Chaz and Stoke Drift.

Stoke Drift Surf Lessons are the Best! - Nate G and Kierran W were fantastic instructors for our Waikiki surf lesson. As complete beginners, my daughters and I felt supported the entire time and we were thrilled that each of us managed to ride a few waves. The spot was easy to get to, and the lesson was well-paced and fun. A great experience from start to finish.

Surf’s up - Our instructor Ethan was capable, calm and confident. He made our 90-minute session fun. Would highly recommend for a two- person lesson.

Awesome lesson - Skylar was a great teacher! Our family is comfortable on the water but have never surfed before and he was able to teach us all to get up and ride a couple waves or more! Was easily one of most enjoyable experiences we had not only on the island but as a family ever.

Excellent surf instruction. Dan and Keith gave practical tips so that we could all get up on the boards. Our group had a blast - We did this as a family trip with adult kids. Everyone had a great time even though most had very little surfing experience. Every got up easily and enjoyed the warm Hawaii waters.
