EXCELLENT
Based on 1139 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great intro class with Kalani and Kalei! They managed the time and the group really well and made sure we all had plenty of chances to try catching a wave. I also really like the length of the class - 2 hours is plenty of time to get a great intro on the land and then ride 5-6 waves. I also would have found a longer class too tiring - by the end I was very ready to chill on the beach for a bit !

Very patient with us, as it was our first time surfing and took his time teaching us! We had a blast!

Great instructors very patient and passionate about teaching. They truly take the time and make sure you enjoy 100% of the experience. Gear was well maintained and some boards have these handy handles that made it easy to carry. They also offer awesome video footage of you catching waves if interested ask the great staff - super clear. Wonderful discounts after your lessons.

Joey C2025-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best surf school experience we had in all of Waikiki! After trying a few different surf sessions, we finally found a place that truly understood what we were looking for. My fiancée is a beginner who can catch waves on her own, while I’m an advanced surfer with experience and skills, I was mainly looking to explore the best surf spots in the area and enjoy the water together for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We got exactly that and more. Our instructor, Sergio, went above and beyond to give us a fun, high-quality session that suited both our levels perfectly. As someone who knows the surf school world well, I can honestly say that this type of customized experience is extremely rare. Even when it came to choosing boards, we were given full flexibility a huge plus, especially for advanced surfers who don’t want to be stuck with a 10- or 12-foot board that doesn’t suit their style. Highly recommended for surfers of all levels especially couples looking to enjoy the waves together! Amit Perez2025-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
