Amazing guides!!! - Guides made sure everyone was able to catch a wave all whilst having fun. Shout out to Kevin who made me laugh and feel calm and supported in the water. Appreciate the ride in as well.

Just do it! - I was nervous about surfing since I have zero experience, but Luke was great! He was patient and explained everything. He even taxi-ed us back out which saved me because I'm certainly not in as good as shape to paddle so much.

Family Surfing Lesson - Shuttle bus to and from a pickup area by Outrigger, was even a little yellow school bus. They provide surf shirts and protective footwear. Then to a beautiful park area in Waikiki where they did the group lesson. Each family assigned to an instructor. What a great experience! This outfit provides exceptional value! Put this on your list for sure when visiting Waikiki!!

Success! We all rode waves - Getting up on the waves and enjoying the ocean while waiting for the next one to ride. The staff kept the flow going so we could catch as many waves as possible. Gave some good instructions on how to paddle so we wouldn't be exhausted too quickly.

1st time surfing for our... - 1st time surfing for our family of 5. All the coaches were friendly and helpful. We all managed to catch a few waves. I was impressed that the coaches remembered everyone's name. It was so convent to be picked up and dropped off near our hotel. The photo package is extra but worth it - we got photos and videos of all 5 of us. My 11 year old is so excited to try surfing again.
