Sunset Suzys Surf School

Amazing day of surfing with Andy!! They have a perfect spot and have great instructions. We caught dozens of waves and will definitely book another lesson on our next trip!

First time surf lessons for the family. The staff were friendly, helpful and funny. They had all 4 of us surfing first pop out of the water. We not only had a blast, we actually learned to surf. I'd highly recommend Suzy and her staff, made the experience totally fun and memorable!

I had a blast with Ray for a one on one class. This was my second time surfing and I was able to stand up every time and had many long strikes. He was patient helpful and very encouraging. The other instructor Suzi was very friendly accommodating and patiently helped me setting up. Highly recommend!!

I booked a small group surf lesson through Vimbly.com for myself and my two kids. I checked in with Suzy the night before our lesson and talked over the details with Chris. They arrived right on time and brought everything we would need including rashguards. We started with some safety instruction and practiced standing on our boards. Then, we were off in the water! Because my son was a little apprehensive, one of the instructors took him tandem surfing so he could get the hang of it. While at times he did hold onto the board for dear life, he also had the courage to stand too!My daughter on the other hand, loved it and stood up on her board her very first try. I was so impressed! My tries were not as successful, but I did manage to get up for a few seconds. I was surprised that I really enjoyed it and it was wonderful to experience something new together. Both instructors were awesome. Very friendly, helpful and always in the water with us which made my kids feel safe. The look of concentration on my daughter's face was priceless and seeing my son stand on the surfboard will be locked in my happy memories forever. This was the perfect introduction to surfing for us.

Booked a group lesson but was lucky to have a 2-on-1...Just me, my friend, and our instructor Chad. Arrived to beach early and was able to watch some of the lessons take place. First impression: scary! The surfers were way far out, the waves looked big, and I hadn't legit swam in the ocean for over a decade. Seemed like a recipe for disaster. Chad gave me the lowdown and taught us the 4 steps to getting up on the board. Arch, crawl, knee up, and stand. Me being me, I asked a whole lot of questions. How does it feel when the waves hit you? Is it easy to flip over? Are there sharks??! (cuz it's shark week on Discovery channel). He kept it real and didn't sugarcoat anything. Once I was in the water, it was game time. Luckily the instructor took us cruising all the way out into the deep sea. So insane he was able to tow us with his feet. I was the first to go and I was able to stand up!!! Gave me the confidence I needed and I continued to stand up almost every time after that. I say all this to say, Hawaii is the place to try surfing for the first time. Water is warm. The waves, though they seemed big to me, were actually pretty small. Good for beginners. I would also suggest going in a small group. You get more attention. More opportunities to catch the waves. And if you're lucky your instructor will help tow you along so you don't get as tired quickly!Highly recommend Suzy's surf school on the North Shore. It's on a quiet beach and at times you feel like you have the ocean to yourself. Look forward, paddle hard, mahalo.

Two city kids in a Loco Moco coma can't surf, right? Maybe, unless you see Suzy. She gave us special attention and the proof is in the pics- our kids can surf!Fair price, good Hawaiian vibes, wildlife, story, Suzy's is swell.

Andy was the best surf instructor! It was my boyfriend and I's first time ever surfing and we stood up first time. We felt like pros on the water. Andy made us feel so comfortable and had awesome tips throughout the whole lesson! Highly recommend Sunset Suzy school! You will love this experience! The adrenaline rush is unreal

Our family had an amazing time with Suzy and her crew. We are a family of 4 (2 daughters age 4 and 3) and we all were able to stand up and catch some waves! My 4 year old when for 2 hours with no break and didn't wanna stop. Next time we are on the island we will take another privet family lesson with Sunset Suzy! Crew was so friendly and accommodating. Each of our girls had their own instructor and me and my husband had 1. Me and my husband took turns going out (we would wait in a low wave area for the other to catch a wave not on shore) and that was perfect as we needed a little break in between waves. Overall highly recommend as my family really had a good time!

We had an amazing lesson with Matthew! Booking the reservation online was so easy and everything exceeded our expectations. It was so nice to have a private lesson for our group of 4 and at such a reasonable rate. Matthew was so knowledgeable and patient with all of us. His teaching style was perfect, it was simple and didn't allow you to overthink. Everyone in my party was able to get up on our first wave! I highly recommend Suzy's!

This lesson was the one of the best parts of our trip to O'ahu! We've never surfed in our lives, but Jason and Lucho were so easy to learn from that we were able to get up and surf for the whole time! The beach has very small waves so they're great for beginners. The north shore is definitely worth the trip and much less crowded, plus you get to see sea turtles as you surf by! 110% recommend!
