    Big Kahuna's instructors consistently earn praise for their patience and ability to get first-timers standing on boards quickly. Names like Sol, Pedro, Jesse, David, and Bryan come up repeatedly, with reviewers noting how they tailor instruction to each person's needs and make nervous kids feel comfortable. The Kihei location (the Cove) seems ideal for beginners with small waves and shallow water, and there's a bonus many don't expect: sea turtles swimming alongside you during lessons. The photography package gets enthusiastic mentions throughout the reviews. Photographers like Johnny, Leilani, and Rory capture those triumphant moments on the waves, and multiple families mention framing these photos as trip souvenirs. Group lessons stay small with multiple instructors dividing people up, so you're not lost in a crowd. While one older review mentions a completely missed lesson (since resolved with a refund), recent feedback consistently points to a well-organized operation where the whole crew cheers for everyone in the water and genuinely wants you to succeed.

    Everybody was great! Pedro was a patient and amazing instructor, all of us (wife, daughter, and I all never having surfed before) were able to stand up and have fun. Johnny takes some great pictures too! (I'm sure I'm falling down here, but don't tell anyone because he made me look like a pro!)
