Best surf lessons - Koa ,Brady and Andre were awesome at helping our family how to surf. They were punctual, professional and fun. They also sent me good clear instructions on how to get there and find them. We were the first group out on the water and got lots of practice time. My son liked it so much that he signed up for a second session the following morning. Highly recommend this company.

Great first time surfing experience - A great first-time surfing experience! As someone in their early 30s trying surfing for the first time, I expected the lesson to be challenging—but Kai made the whole experience approachable and fun. He was patient, encouraging, and really guided me through the basics so I could get a feel for surfing. The only minor issue was with logistics: I didn’t receive a heads-up beforehand from the surf company and had a bit of trouble finding the exact location. A quick message in advance would make it perfect. Highly recommend for beginners!

Best private lesson and vibes! Can’t recommend enough! - An exceptional private surf lesson experience with cool dudes and the best vibes. I have had the pleasure of paddling out under the guide of Kaleo and Koa on different occasions. Been coming to and loving this beach since my keiki days and these dudes are genuine locals with great energy who will give you a magical no-pressure beginners experience on a board. Pro tip: let the reef breathe and experience Kahalu’u on a surfboard instead! You won’t be disappointed. Even if you just paddle out on a clear day you’ll feel like you’re surfing an aquarium and those reef rides are real fun and zippy. Mahalo my dudes! See y’all next time I’m in Keahou and not recovering from an injury lol. Love is the message!

Great lesson, friendly instructor - Amazing lesson. I did a group lesson on a recent trip to kona. The instructor was great! The location had great waves but wasn't to challenging. I felt very safe the whole time, the instructor was very clear and friendly. He was obviously knowledgeable. If you want to learn how to surf i would highly recommend these guys. The instructor got me up and I road 6 to 10 waves over my 2 hour lesson.
