The instructors here are consistently praised for being patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about teaching surfing. Names like Fletcher, Chris, Dane, Scottie, and Haven come up repeatedly, with families especially appreciating how naturally the team works with kids of all ages. First-timers report standing up on their first attempts thanks to concise beach tutorials that translate immediately to success in the water. The vibe is professional yet fun, with instructors sharing stories and local knowledge that adds to the experience. The location at Turtle Bay offers ideal beginner conditions, and instructors adapt to wave conditions by taking groups to alternate spots when needed. Professional photography packages receive enthusiastic recommendations, with guests loving the angles and memories captured. The one notable complaint involves surfboard rentals, where availability was inconsistent and pricing seemed steep for the condition of equipment. If you're coming for lessons though, particularly as a family or first-timer, you'll find an operation that delivers exactly what it promises with genuine aloha spirit.
The check-in process was smooth and quick, though I missed his name. Dane was an excellent instructor for my daughter and tried giving my son tips though he refused a lesson 🤣 Highly recommend this surf school for its staff, location, and overall experience. Steve also helped us in the shop and was very helpful. My mom and I were able to watch and catch videos of them surfing with sea turtles riding the waves on the coast in front of them!!!!
