With a near-perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, the instructors here have built a serious reputation for turning nervous first-timers into wave-catchers. Charles, Hans, Daniel, Arie, and Zal come up again and again by name, praised for being patient, clear communicators who balance safety with fun. Families with young kids, solo adults, rusty beginners, and even groups with mixed skill levels all seem to leave happy, which says a lot about the team's versatility. Beyond surfing, they also offer manta ray night dives, with Jason and Taka earning strong praise for those experiences too. One reviewer appreciated how painlessly rescheduling went when the waves weren't cooperating, which is a good sign for how the operation is run overall. If you're on the fence about trying surfing in Hawaii for the first time, the consistent feedback here makes a pretty convincing case.
Fantastic experience for me and my 3 sons. Arie, Charles, Daniel, and Zal were all great. We are all pretty much beginners, and with their help, we were able to catch our first waves in no time. Not only were they helpful with instruction and tips, but they were all great to talk to while waiting for the next wave. One of the best things we have done on this trip, and we are even looking to book again before we return if we can squeeze it in. Thanks for a great day surfing!
