Best Day on the Waves - The instructor was awesome. He was very patient with our grandkids. We all felt very safe. He gave detailed instructions before e went in the water as well as the entire time. He kept our group of six together and took great pics. Seems like a super nice guy and a great photographer! Absolutely would recommend!! 5 ⭐️ Stars

Thank you Rick! - His first time paddle borders we didn’t really know what to expect but Rick made everything so much easier and took care to work with us patiently while we all got up on our boards.

Excellent time in the water - Brandon, our instructor, was very patient with us. He gave lots of tips on how to get up on the board and enjoy our time in the water. Knowledgeable about the islands and paddle boarding.

We saw Turtles and rode with Church - We had an amazing time first time paddle boarding. Our instructor was Church the Dog and his master. Church rode on our board and also was a great wave rider. We had the best time and will come back again.

Standup Paddleboard was awesom! - My family and I had a great time with our instructor James. He was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us great tips for paddle boarding and the surrounding sea life. We would definitely recommend this activity. There was an error with our reservation (not Surf Shack’s fault) and James came in on his day off for our lessons. He was just wonderful! They made what could have been a bad experience into a fantastic experience!

Paddleboarding - Overall it was a good experience, but it took most of the first hour before we even got into the water. We understand learning the basics on land but the other stuff became frustrating. After we got on the board we learn and enjoyed our selves.

Better breaks South end of Kalama park - Our instructor wasn't much of instructing. More of pushing the board to get you going. At least kids had fun, but if you really want to learn, maybe start with the beginning lesson; however, considering their so-so attitude, I suppose, maybe not the best choice either. We went August 2019. Maybe things are better now? Schools to the south of Kalama park have better water real estate with better breaks so I would consider them instead.
