Stood up first try! Great instruction! - I've taken another surfing lesson and didn't stand up. With Niko and the other instructors, I stood up first try! This was an amazing experience. I've always wanted to learn to surf, and couldn't stand up. With these folks, I probably rode close to ten waves. The instructors are very knowledgeable, and kind. They did a great job!

Teenagers loved it!!! - Had a blast!! Ella was amazing and we all got up and road a ton of waves. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time. We were all exhausted by the end. My teenagers loved every second of it and said it was the best part of our trip.

Amazing - I was pretty nervous leading up to it as I’m not a super fit person but the instructors were really kind and understanding. They even gave me a lift back to shore as I got out earlier. The experience was a 10/10 and definitely makes me want to surf again.

Great first time surfing lessons; this is the shop you want - Fantastic experience learning to surf for the first time with Pete Stahel. With Pete’s coaching both my son and I were able to get up on our boards and ride a few waves each. Pete is super kind and patient and knows how to teach surfing. Totally worth the extra money for semi private lessons, and while fairly fit I was totally exhausted after two hours… could not have gone longer if I wanted to.

Fantastic A+++ - Absolutely amazing experience. Our instructors were professional yet fun. They clearly took both our fun and safety very seriously. I had an absolute blast on my first ever surfing experience and highly recommend this company as they couldn't have made it any easier or more fun.

Great Spontaneous Surf Activity - Our surfing lesson was great! Our instructor, Seth, made us feel safe and ready to catch some waves. We also really enjoyed the beach we were at, with great views of diamond head. We would definitely recommend our early morning weekday session as beginners, which ensured a pretty empty beach and gave plenty of ocean to ride.

Had a great time learning... - Had a great time learning to surf. We had an amazing instructor, Seth. We all exceed our own expectations and were all able to get up on the board and even caught a few waves on our own. Highly recommend arriving early so that you have time to change into the rash guard and shoes and watch the safety video and still get your full time to surf. We all agreed it was the highlight of our trip!
