Great instructor
Tiffany_J, Nov 2022
Kainna was really great with my girls. Due to it being later In the day and the sun being out, I wasn’t able to get pictures and videos. Even though I stood out there to record (like an idiot). Definitely I’d say morning sessions is best, but from the great teaching they had now they think their professionals! I would for sure recommend and come back to see kainna.
Great

Great experience great teacher! 10/10 recommend. The instructor took the time to teach us we were able to stand and ride a wave.
Please be careful about trainer you get

Hired for family - Paulo trainer was not interested in helping learn basics, was not patient from get go. Basically he said - when we go out there don't look to me for help.
Go elsewhere

Just trying to surf was fun, unfortunately brain and legs weren't in sync. Instructor could have been little more helpful and supportive,
Great time with kind instructor!

Max was awesome. Laid back with great a great welcoming personality. My wife and I stood up our first try and several times after that. Very pleasant and fun experience we will not forget! 🤙
Mike was beyond amazing!
Lupeni_I, Oct 2021
Mike was great. He was very patient and very aware of safety. He knew what he was doing and he taught us the ways of surfing as well as respecting the water, land and be aware of all the uncles and aunties in the water and the line of respect. He was great. We will have a a long life of loving the wave. Thank you Mike!
Great surfing lesson!

Mike was super cool. He worked with us even though we were late. He tried hard to fit as much as possible into our one hour experience and we had a great time. Don’t worry about the fact that they don’t have a building. The experience is the same
Must Book

Karen_P, July 2021
Great surf lesson. It was our first time surfing and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would highly recommend.
Awesome surf lesson
Robert_H, June 2021
Awesome. Paulo was phenomenal. My son and I both had a blast surfing for the first time. Spent a few minutes on the beach then most of the time catching Waikiki waves!
Thrilled
Brendan_O, June 2021
An overall outstanding experience. I couldn’t believe I was able to surf! I would highly recommend booking!
Awesome Surfing Lesson!
Joey_B, Apr 2021
This instructor is amazing. He is straight to the point and worth every penny if your goal is to get up and ride a wave. It took me & my girlfriend a few try’s, but he went great lengths to correct the things we we’re doing wrong, and in no time, we were up and riding. If u want to feel good about standing up on a surfboard for ur first time, this man will get you up!
Must do experience with Paulo!
Mateo_S, Jan 2021
Paulo is the best instructor and coolest Brazilian on Oahu. Had a great time learning from him-he pushed us hard while making us comfortable riding
