First time surfing 🏄🏻‍♀️ - The staff (1 woman in the shop, 1 woman outside the shop) who helped check me in at the initial meeting location were both super friendly and helpful! The instructor (Henry) was a great teacher, supportive, encouraging, and just overall friendly as well! Also, Terrance was helping people out in the water who were getting tired from paddling in and out—so very appreciative of his kindness and assistance🙏🏽 Definitely recommend!!

Successful surfing lesson! - This was a great experience for anyone looking to just try out surfing for the first time. Tanner took us out and was excellent at teaching us the etiquette and technique for surfing. We even got up on the boards and found some success in it! He helped us pick out which waves we were going to surf and made the overall lesson very personable. Thank you, we would 10/10 do this again!

Best Surfing Ever! - Henry was a fantastic Surf Instructor. There was only 4 in a group. We rotated catching waves with him 1:1. Everyone caught numerous waves. We were lucky in that on a Monday the beginner area was not crowded. We would definitely go with this team again! Mahalo

Surfing - The boys had a lot of fun. They both were able to stand up & surf. Only negative is that it was a group lesson & time had to be shared. Would do it again.
