Best experience!! - I had a great time! This was my first time ever getting on a surfboard. I wasn’t sure I could do it but my instructor Bradley was amazing. He was a great teacher, with good instruction. I was actually able to catch waves and surf! I would definitely recommend this company and request Bradley. Also a plus that he’s hot! 😜

First time surfing? Private lesson is the best. - It was so much fun! The instructions were great and I stood up.on the board on my first wave, then I was able to consistently surf the waves after 30 min of instructions and the lesson was a blast.

Max is the best - I’ve now taken 3 private lessons with Max & I have nothing but glowing things to say. No doubt that Ohana is a great surf company as Kaleo has helped me with modifications to my reservations with ease. That said, Max has the secret sauce when it comes to teaching. He’s got a good head on his shoulders, really focusing on making sure not to over complicate your surfing experience. I was able to get up by day 1 but I experienced the joy of riding a wave today, which speaks to his incredible ability to be a guide. I’ve got the surf bug and it’s definitely because of all of Max’s help — the cherry on top is what a great & funny person he is apart from being an instructor. If you’re on the fence with other companies, choose this place & ask for Max! What a gem. Mahalo

Highly recommend - I booked two group lessons this week and both classes and the booking process were perfect. I highly recommend asking for Max as an instructor. He is calm, sociable and makes you feel at ease at all times.

Book with these guys now! - Did quite a bit of research before booking a lesson. A lot of people had a lot of good things to say about Ohana surf lessons, and they seemed like a smaller company as compared to some of the others, so I decided to schedule a lesson with them. I was able to schedule a lesson through their website, and they followed up very quickly with a text message confirming everything and providing very detailed directions to the beach where the lesson would take place. Beach was only 10 minutes from where we were staying in the waterfront area of Kona. Max was our instructor. Super chill and laid back dude. He did a really good job explaining everything and getting us through some dry runs on the beach. Once we hit the water, his enthusiasm was pretty infectious. We were able to get up on our first waves, and Max was cheering us on the entire time. We were probably “catching waves” within the first half hour or so, and spent the rest of the time in the water. It was awesome. Max was awesome. Communication with the company was spot on. If you’re looking for a good company for surf lessons, I highly recommend Ohana Surf Lessons!

Wonderful experience with great instructors - Alex and Koa were great instructors. We did the private surf lessons (kids 12 and 14) and the instructors were so great and patient. My kids loved every minute. The company was great about communicating about a change in location when the waves weren’t big enough at the original Spot. Great experience and definitely a memory to last a lifetime.

Private surfing lesson - This was hands down my daughter’s most favorite part of her trip to Hawaii. The instructor was friendly, and made her feel safe and comfortable the water. We will definitely be back again next summer.

Fun Time - Daughter and friend , both teenagers and beginner surfers had a great time. The instructor was super patient and worked his butt off to get them on waves the entire time. The girls were able to stand up by the 2nd wave of the session. Overall, it was a great time for the girls and definitely a highlight of their trip to the Big Island.
