Mom & Son - Owner Mike was excellent, professional, friendly, and organized. Our surf instructor Ryo was personable and gave clear, effective instructions The location was great and not crowded. The provided reef shoes to protect against coral were a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend

Our kids, ages 12 and 16,... - Our kids, ages 12 and 16, had a blast and now surfing is their new favorite hobby thanks to Mike and Ryo at Surfing Sensei! The GoPro video is awesome and we've watched it countless times to relive the fun. Our kids want to surf again next time we are in Oahu and we'll definitely book with Mike again.

Bucket list- great even with a kiddo w special needs - They offer their shirts and shoes so no need to stress about that! Was able to find parking at 9am on a Sunday-Barely. Early April and the water felt chilly at first but was just fine as we were working so hard. Everyone was able to stand up and surf a little! Salt water definitely clears out the sinuses. Need a lot of arm strength. Those out of shape will get tired. 2 instructors in the water and one was totally with our sn 12 yo who just laid on the board on his stomach the whole time. But the other instructor was fully able to help the other 4 of us and no one else was in our group. Loved it and so proud of us. Instructors were so nice!!!

I booked a session with... - I booked a session with two kids and Michael knew what questions to ask to ensure we have the best experience learning surfing. He’s friendly and funny and made our session fun and memorable. And also loved the location where it wasn’t busy and waves were just right.

Incredible experience - Ryo was an excellent teacher. He was very patient and great to talk to. Everyone in our group was able to stand up on the board during the session. This was the perfect introduction to surfing, and I’m so happy we booked it. Added plus of it not being crowded and getting the GoPro footage. I highly recommend.

Ten stars!! - John and Rio were fantastic! It was a beautiful day and they made it even better. Every member of our family got up on the surfboard under their instruction. They were patient (even with our younger boys) and were eager for us to learn as much as we could. It was the most fun we’ve EVER had! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! TEN stars!

Michael was an awesome... - Michael was an awesome instructor who had my husband and I surfing on our very first attempt! We have never attempted surfing prior to this occasion. He was very patient and explained everything clearly. The GoPro was a great addition and we love watching the videos. It was a great time celebrating my 50th birthday. His prices are unbeatable because of his teaching abilities, private lesson, and GoPro link. He provided the shirt to prevent rash, reef shoes, and the board. Ala Moana Beach was a perfect beach to learn on for our first time. It was not crowded like Waikiki Beach and the waves are small so you don't have to worry about falling and being held underwater by a wave. This is a must book experience if you are interested in surfing!
