There is nothing like that feeling of your first wave! Thank you Catch a Wave!! - What a experience. The wave were not the biggest but I will never forger the feeling of standing up on the board for the first time. The adrenaline and power of the ocean, wow! I owe it all to Connor my instructor who was positive and knowledgeable, not to mention just a good time and motivated me to achieve this once in a lifetime feeling first time feeling. I cant wait to surf again! Thank you Catch a Wave!! I recommend anyone who is looking for that type of good vibe experience to give them a call.

Family friendly patient surfing instructor- look no further!! - Conor is the zen of surfing instruction on the North Shore. Thanks to him, my kids and I all learned, with one-on-one lessons, to surf and be successful in the waves. His patience with us non-surfing Texans was awesome and he was so friendly, calm, chill and helpful all afternoon. His prices are fair and he went above and beyond to ensure our family made memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks Conor!! Jake -Texas

Conor is a great coach! - It was my first time surfing, Conor was able to work with me in our private session to be able to successfully stand up and surf multiple waves! He went above and beyond, even helping bring me to catch more waves when I was getting tired. I would highly recommend him!

Conor was Awesome - So, we actually had to cancel because there were no waves. How often does that happen on the North Shore? But Conor was great. He kept me informed by text and a call the morning of letting me know that Mother Nature wasn't cooperating. He was so apologetic that he had to cancel, like it was his fault. If I ever get the chance to come back, I'll try again and ask for Conor.

Great Experience, loved the surf! - Conor did a wonderful job! Got to the site early in the morning, took a few minutes to explain the board to me since this was my first time out, and the into the water! We had the area to ourselves, and I really enjoyed it! After beginners luck Conor helped steady me when I was getting frustrated, and I ended with my best run of the day! Great experience, I hope to bring my family back to work with Conor next time!

Boys learned the basics of surfing with an emphasis on safety. Conor was great. - our boys had their first lesson in surfing and what a great way to start off with Conor, who emphasized safety, but also made it fun for them. we had them do a shared lesson, so he took them out one at a time. I'd recommend a private lesson so you can get the entire 2 hours of surfing in the water. if we were staying in the north shore we would've considered one more lesson but at least now they know the basics and they can continue their lessons here at home.

Great time surfing - Connor was a wonderful, patient teacher. We (both beginners) were both able to stand up and ride out multiple waves due to Connor’s coaching and encouragement. He was attentive to safety concerns and worked hard to maximize our time on the water. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to surf during their trip to Oahu!

Last Minute Cancelled on our family of 4 - I booked a surfing lesson for our family three weeks in advance. Less than 24 hours before our scheduled lesson, we were notified of its cancellation by saying "no surfing waves forecasted on North Shore" This last-minute cancellation left us very disappointed and frustrated. We were beginner surfers, we didn't need 4 foot waves, just a good first time experience. Fortunately, my husband found another place to get lessons from and we had an incredible experience (Uncle Bryan's). And there were a ton of waves for them to surf. I would not recommend booking with Catch'a Wave unless you are prepared for the possibility of last-minute cancellations.
