Jake is the BEST! Took awesome photos and videos too! - Jake was absolutely amazing! We had the perfect day surfing at the bowls. I texted him earlier telling him that I had trouble paddling and successfully surfing in the past, so I came in with low expectations (of myself). But he coached me so well that I was able to ride probably about 7 waves, 3 of them without any assistance.
In addition, he was able to rent out one of his boards for my husband, so that my hubby could join us in the water while I’m doing my private lesson.
I couldn’t recommend him enough - he’s definitely one of the best beginner-friendly surf coaches around and is full of encouragement and positivity.
MAHALO Jake and thank you for all of the ALOHA 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

HIGHLY recommend for families!! - Jake was amazing!! on time! Great energy! My kids absolutely loved him. He had so much patience with my 9 yro and my 13 year old. The private was a must because my kids had never surfed before…the video and pictures were high quality. We highly recommend his lesson. We will definitely return for another lesson! Thank for the memories Jake!

Great family fun! Even for young kids! - We had a great time surfing with Jake! We chose him because of the great reviews, the ability to take younger surfers, and the option for photos/videos. We appreciated Jake’s easy going happy demeanor and flexibility. We initially purchased the one on one then added two adults day of. He was able to watch and course correct as the lesson went on to help improve our surfing. His videos and photos were very cute, and we are glad we booked with the option for these memories.

Experience the pace of the wave, you will never forget it - I always had a salt water trauma since I was a child. So even I love to swim, that only applies to a swimming pool.
However I decided to take a challenge and overcome the trauma by going for a such extreme water sport on the ocean. I must admit that it was frightening when I began to paddle toward the waves and I was thinking ‘what on earth am I doing here?’ But this will go away when you paddle for few minutes. I was so shattered so that Jake had to push me and the board all the time(which I felt really bad :( ).
I manage to stand up in one wave and I think this was such an excellent achievement for me and I couldn’t have done this without Jake’s teaching and guidance.
Thank you for such an unforgettable experience and I will definitely practice more when I go back home.
