Great fraction of a class
Vanessa_H
, Oct 2021
Great time. Good instructors but super expensive. Not worth price. We paid $530 for 1 adult and 2 kids. Lesson started 40 min late but ended right before scheduled time. We were in water a little over 30 min when we paid for a 1.5 hr lesson. We lost half of the class and it was not made up. We checked in on time and got to beach on time as well. We didn't get to keep boards after lesson either so our surfing experience was very short. Kids we surfing though so that was great to see.

Aloha Family, This is distressing to hear about. Could you please give us a call. We do want to rectify this if you will give us a chance. Workers are not in peril but it is something we do want to address and not have this happen again. Fortunately unusual but we do want to be able to work on this.

Thank you so much for your nice comment. Nate does make folks feel at ease. Staying on these small wave is the perfect practice ground for young ones to adults. There is a longer learning curve before bigger waves so have to be a little one no matter your age. See you next time.

I had a private surf lesson with Mitchell. This was my first time ever even touching a surf board. He was an amazing instructor and he had me up on the board within a few attempts. He is very personable and I enjoyed chatting with him while we waited for the right waves - which he is an expert at spotting. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who has thought about trying surfing.

Sean was fantastic. Only took a few wipeouts for his pointers to click and start catching waves. Will recommend to anyone who is going to be in the area.

I had a private lesson and the instructor was more worried about getting back to the beach so we didnt miss the shuttle (It would have been an 8 minute walk to the shop) than catching waves. The waves were not great and he was knowledgeable.

My husband and I had an awesome time learning how to surf with our instructor, Yom. He was ever-so-patient especially with me--I'm uncoordinated and have zero balance, but miracle of all miracles, he got me up on at least a handful of waves!
