Solo Beginner Surfer - Great lesson! If you’re going solo, don’t worry, this is a great surf lesson to do. Great for beginners. I just wish there was a photographer to capture us on the water—those pictures would be so cool!

Skip the concierge and book direct!!! Awesome! - Amazing surf lessons! Both my kids were beginners ((12/10yo)) and loved it. Attentive and thorough staff; entire group was riding waves by second try if not first wave caught. Absolutely would book tours and lessons again with ISA!

Great experience. 2 instructors to our group of 4. Felt very safe and comfortable with the entire experience. - Booked this for our kids and myself. Had a great time. Juan and Eric were awesome and always had safety as a top priority. It was good because the swell was pretty big on that day and all the kids were able to catch multiple waves.

Flexible on Refund - We attempted to surf in tough conditions, felt unsafe, and called it quits after 10 minutes and Nick worked with us to get a full refund and invited us back on a better day.

Amazing Surfing experience for a beginner - This is a really fantastic experience if you're looking to learn the very basics of surfing. Nick and his team take you out to the literally the most forgiving waves on the planet, on one of the best beaches in the world. They give you the basics of what you need to get up and surfing on your first few tries. And there's literally nothing to be scared of in this shallow water. This was a great experience and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Kaanapali beach! TY Nick!

My 8-year-old son and I... - My 8-year-old son and I had an incredible experience with our instructor, Matt. From the start, he made us feel comfortable and confident in the water. His teaching style was both fun and informative. Matt was patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what he does. Thanks to his guidance, we were both able to catch some waves and had an absolute blast. If you’re looking for a surf school that’s great for both kids and adults, I highly recommend booking a lesson. We can’t wait to come back!

great instructors - The guys were nice and really good with my daughter! They took the group to a spot that was pretty rocky and it was a little rough. Also, if you plan on booking with this company, be mindful of their cancellation policy. They don't accommodate if someone in your party gets sick 3 hours prior to your lesson.
