Amazing experience! - Awesome morning with Hans’ surf school! My husband and I did a Semi private lesson and our sons (ages 7 and 9) had private lessons. We almost cancelled because of the weather and were so glad we didn’t! We all got up and were able to ride the waves. Guides were warm and wonderful instructors. Highly recommend!

Great first surf experience! - We had tons of fun learning to surf today! Hans himself patiently taught my husband and I to catch a wave and stand for a few seconds on the board. In the mean time, our daughters (7 & 10) were having the time of their life with Lauren and Adonis, two very kid-friendly instructors. Thank you for making our trip to Hawaii more memorable!

Awesome Experience - Private tour was 100% worth it, the big group was like 20+ people. It was just me and my brother and we each had our own instructor. They were both awesome and went with the vibe each of us had, very much appreciated!! Due to construction, we showed up a few minutes late and no one gave us any pushback, very much appreciated!!

Excellent surf school - My son had a great experience with this school on his first surf lesson. The instructor was excellent, got him up standing many times, and kept him safe. The photo package is a bit expensive but I now regret not taking it given how amazing the experience was. Highly recommended school.

Surf with HHS you will have the best time surfing Waikiki!! - My flight was cancelled on Thursday afternoon and as soon as I heard I was staying in Hawaii another 3 nights, I booked in surfing lessons for the next day. Hans Hederman surf were super quick to respond and after a phone call in the evening, I got myself booked in! As I have been surfing for over a year I didn’t want to surf soft top board and keen to hire hard top long board. I spoke to a few surfing companies and Hans Hederman surf was the best one I spoke to who provided surfboard rental options. The whole team in HHS are amazing. Such lovely people, so quick to respond on WhatsApp. I did one private lesson with Niko and loved it so much I booked in for two more lessons. Niko was very professional, caring, made me feel super comfortable as I was nervous about my fitness after surgery last year, gave me some really awesome tips, he is really funny and fun! Special thanks to the admin person who I booked with who contacted me after hours, to Ellie who made me feel so welcome and for taking care of me, to Ed who took the best drone photos and videos, standard photos and go pro shots. Ed was so much fun as we took go pro photos while we surfed together. Such awesome videos! Make sure you get the photo package. It’s sooooo worth it!!! You’ll be watching them post surfs and when you return home as you reminisce surfing in Hawaii. They can also use the drone where they surf because they’re located near the park, it’s a great super bonus booking with these guys! I was also surfing to support Chris O’Brien Lifehouse to find cure for cancer. The team were really supportive and took great footage to share in my socials. I honestly cant wait to surf with this team again and highly recommend them! I’m def keen to come back asap to surf beautiful Waikiki with these guys

private lesson - Charles Nemet - I did private lessons with Charles Nemet. He taught me moves and practice to be like a real surfer. I was able to continuously practice during the session, catch up the waves and standup. I highly recommend him for others.
