    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.

    I have been here twice now and I highly recommend them for learning how to surf. I 2021 I had my first ever surf lesson here. At the end of 2024 I had the opportunity to come to Oahu on business and I knew I wanted to go surfing with this group again. I booked a time I thought was good and then later on needed to reschedule and Carol was excellent at doing that. I got my lesson with Amiee and she was fantastic! I did the hour private/semi private lesson and it was everything I could have wanted. I got 1 on 1 instruction on everything from safety, to surfing form, to carrying a board, the paddle zones and surfing zones, etc. I thought it was really good. Once we got out onto the water I was even able to get up on a few waves and that made my whole day. I have a lot to work on and I wish I could surf every day. This is an incredible sport and the people here make it a really fun time. I can't wait to come back and get another lesson with Aimee, Carol, and the whole team
