Surf Lessons Waikiki

Amazing morning lesson with Al!! We had a 2hour semi-private lesson in great conditions for $55 each with the Yelp discount, which is an incredible deal. My boyfriend and I are both snowboarders so are familiar with balance and steering but needed to learn surf applications like popping up and picking waves. Al did a great job of teaching us based on our skill levels and making sure we could do it on our own once we left, gradually giving us less and less instruction. At the end he even taught us how to surf side by side and hold hands, which was very sweet! Al is very clear and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend

Wish I could give 10 stars for this amazing surf lesson by Al!!!My sister and I were always so scared to try surfing, even though we have been to Hawaii multiple times. Finally after our 8th visit, we decided to finally give it a shot, although we were still a bit hesitant and nervous.. we heard a lot of stories about how hard it is to surf, even for extremely athletic people.Al was a TOP NOTCH, professional, and most importantly, a fun instructor! He gave us the useful tips on how not to fall, emphasized on ways to avoid hazardous situations, and always kept an eye out on ways for us to improve our surfing.Not only did we successfully ride waves during our first lesson, we were confident to tackle even BIGGER waves the next day! Unfortunately we were catching a flight the next morning which caused issues for booking our next lesson.. Al is patient, helpful and kind. We would not hesitate to return during our next trip to Hawaii. Highly recommend this lesson to anyone who doesn't feel confident about surfing - also I would opt to pay extra money to get some cool photos!! We chose not to, but regret it because we definitely rocked at our first time surfing thanks to the help of Al and his team! Mahalo!

My two sisters and I took surf lessons for the first time and so glad we took them with Al. Such a patient and awesome instructor, we will be back in a few days for our second lesson. So much fun and we did it ! Thanks to you Al

Al and Darren were amazing with our kiddos. They were so patient and thorough with their training before they got into the water. My 11 year old son and 9 year old daughter both got up on their surfboard on the first try!!! They had so much fun and confidence they begged to get another lesson a couple of days later before we headed back home to the mainland. Al took them to another spot that was more challenging. He was sure to keep them safe and they had a blast. They are hooked. Mahalo gentlemen!!! We hope to see you again. This review is long overdue! I was looking for the perfect pictures. Enjoy.

I couldn't ask for a better introduction to surf experience for my 3 kids. 15, 12, and 9 year olds. Al brought in an extra help for safety reasons, especially with a 9 year old. All 3 kids got up on the first attempts and loved their lesson so much that they wanted another one the next day. Al was so thorough to prepare via text on what to wear, where to meet, and what to expect. 2 hour lesson flew by so quickly. Can't wait to go back so kids can experience another lesson with them!

Took a surfing lesson this past week. Very easy to understand Al, and he gives a lot of personalized attention. Plus he is SUPER FUN!! Really breaks down the mechanics of it for you before you even get in the water so you know what you are doing.He is also great as far as safety goes. Spent a lot of time talking about how to protect yourself from injury and how to not be a danger to others, making sure to avoid jellyfish, talking about the tide/surf, etc.Wanted to book another session before we left, but unfortunately the jellies were out. Would definitely take another lesson again.

My husband and I were in Oahu and wanted to try surfing. I was super nervous trying surfing for the first time. I have this perhaps... slightly irrational fear of sharks and fishes so going surfing was extra scary for me. But Shane was amazing. He talked to me about how where we are going has no sharks or fishes except for one lonely Hawaiian state fish (you know the one with the super long name?). He is super chill and laid back and even laughed and told me he's never had to ease someone's fears about fishes/sharks lolAnyways, he gave a quick orientation to us (safety, basic positioning/stance) and we practiced a few times before heading to the waters. He assisted in paddling and really made us feel at ease. We are both able to go out with him on our own and actually ride some of waves during our first time surfing! Shane is friendly and made it so easy for us. We would definitely recommend him to others.

Jenny is awesome! I thought surfing was going to be a pain in the butt to learn, but after 1 hour with Jenny I was ready for the North Shore, too bad its not winter, I would've been tearing it up.If your headed to O'ahu and are interested in a surfing lesson, look no further!

I took two surfing lessons with Al and had a blast. Both times he took my friends and I to areas away from crowds so that we could focus on our technique. Al helped us catch waves on our own and also assisted us when our arms were spent after lots of paddling. I always feel very safe with Al and can't wait to go out again!

Friendly instructor, and we all got up on our feet in the first lesson. Centrally located and would recommend.
