Great Private Surf Lesson!! - I can’t say enough good things about our surf instructor, Connor! My sister and I took lessons with him, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped onto the beach, his positive energy and enthusiasm set the tone for an amazing day. If you’re looking for a surf instructor who is knowledgeable and truly cares about his students, Connor is the one to choose!

A really great time! - A few highlights my sister and I had after getting lessons with Conor was how much patience he had teaching us, he really wanted us to reach our goal, and was very generous with time, he wanted us to learn as much as we could in the water, and as bonus, we got to see turtles swimming by our boards!!

Amazing North Shore Surf Experience - We had a great time learning how to catch our first wave with Connor. It was a lot of fun learning how to surf in the north shore.

Amazing experience!! - Amazing surf lessons, great spot, a lot of knowledge on how to handle surfing, safety, the spot itself. Conor is such a nice, funny and humble guy! He’s been a surf teacher on the north shore for 20 years that’s just mind blowing. We caught waves all together, he’s been a great “water taxi” for my girlfriend ;) Everything was perfect! We loved our lesson with him and will definitely come back!! Mahalo brotha 🤙

Exceptional Day - I was with a group travelling from Australia. Those of us that surfed came back in excited and happy with their new surf skills and great appreciation of Conor for his vast knowledge, patience and teaching skills. They had a blast and are looking forward to their next Hawaii visit to go surfing with Conor again. For those of us that swam whilst the others surfed Conor advised us of the best spot to swim. And also advised other great places to visit. Cant beat the local knowledge. Exceptional day. Thanks Conor.

Decent instructions but rude language - The good part was that it turned out to a 1:1 private lesson, I received decent instructions on basics of surfing, and I was able to have fun by surfing several times in a way considered successful to myself as a beginner. I appreciated the efforts made by instructor to help me circle back to catch the wave each time since it did consume a lot of energy. However, the instructor was rude and made me feel humiliated a few times during the lesson. For example, he said “I started to doubt about your IQ” when I couldn’t follow quickly. Definitely not very patient and not that friendly to beginners. Maybe he has some racism since I am a Chinese guy. I doubt he would treat Americans in the same way. The instructor should get better with his attitude and be more professional when guiding beginners.
