Had a great time learning a new sport - Our family had surfed just once before. We did 4 back to back days with Charlie and Kilani. They were amazing and we had a great time. Thought us how to observe the ocean, be patient and catch a wave.
Would strongly recommend them and do book multiple days so you progress to a point you can hit the waves independently.

Great experience for beginners! - Me and my husband had a semi-private lesson today (our first time surfing!) and we had a blast! Our instructor Addy did a good job explaining the technique and picked very good beginner waves for us so that we could ride our first waves early on - which felt amazing! He then went a little farther out with us away from the bigger crowds. He gave us pointers after each ride so we could improve with every trial. Thank you for the unforgettable experience! We highly recommend a lesson with them to everyone! 🌊🤙🏻

Awesome!! Ask for Charlie! - Charlie, our instructor was great!! My 12 year old daughter and I went out with Charlie for our first time and caught lots of waves! He’s a real expert at reading the surf and helping us navigate the other beginners surrounding us. He quickly gauged our potential and took us where we could ride long waves.

Best Place to Learn Surfing - Waikiki is one of the best and safest place to learn surfing. My two teen girls stood up on their board within two tries and we all did about 8-10 solid surfs each within the 1.5 h in the water. Their location on the far end of Kuhio Beach is less crowded especially at 8am in the morning. Opted for the photo/video package for our family and the drone footage is PRO!

An enjoyable surf experience - One of our favorite activities done in Hawaii was surfing!!! Niko was our surf guide and he was the best!! Being our first time taking a surf lesson, he made everything comfortable and took the fear out of it! Highly recommend doing either private or semi-private for your first time to have the one on one experience!

Best activity on Waikiki Beach! - This was my kids’ favorite activity on Waikiki beach! Tyson, Grant and Keawe were awesome instructors. My 11 year old and 8 year old both picked up surfing extremely quick with their guidance. I (Mom) even got in on the fun. What an exhilarating experience! I can’t recommend this surf school enough. And be sure to get the photo/ video package so you will be able to see yourself in action! Well worth the money.

Hans Hedemann Surf School Is An Absolute Must Have for Anyone’s Hawaii Vacation!!! - Surfing lessons with Hans Hedemann made our whole trip worthwhile. And that is saying a lot because we love Hawaii. But, when you come home from a trip like this, it’s the memories and mementos that matter. Hans Hedemann absolutely gets that! We signed up our three daughters and they got Ric Araujo as their surf instructor. He is amazing. It is obvious that his only focus is making sure that his students have a fantastic time and make fantastic memories. We bought the photography package with still shots and drone video. UNBELIEVABLE! The combination of Ric’s selfless dedication to his students and the fantastic photography Andrew video make for a literal MUST do when you visit Hawaii!!! This will be one of our activities every time we come to Oahu from now on!

Great day out surfing! - Charles and Gabe were awesome with our 3 boys. They taught them and then let them go without babysitting them, but were there for the boys when they needed to be.
The location was great too, just up from all the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, meaning they had plenty of space to learn, waves to ride and fall from. They also gave the boys some tips on how to get better and improve when out on their own.
We also purchased the photos package. We now have a huge selection of photos and videos to remember the day by.
Highly recommend.
