Carol and her team of skilled instructors consistently get first-time surfers standing on their boards within their first lesson, often on their very first or second attempt. Families rave about how the clear, concise instruction works for everyone from young kids to parents with zero experience. The instructors have a knack for picking the perfect spots, getting people into waves quickly rather than spending too much time on the beach, and providing just the right amount of hands-on help to ensure success. What really sets this group apart is the genuine care and professionalism. Instructors like Aimee, Amy, Remi, and others create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable, and they're particularly praised for looking after kids' safety and confidence. Betty often captures action shots during sessions that families can purchase afterward, which turns out to be a treasured souvenir. The location at Pua'ena Point offers beautiful scenery and even occasional sea turtle sightings, adding to the overall magic of the experience.
Absolutely incredible beginner surf experience! Carol & Lawrence were so fun to hangout with and really pushed me to keep chasing those waves. Would absolutely book again!
