We all stood up and had never surfed before! - So much fun and great instructors! Tyler and Elijah were awesome at teaching our group of five, with four of us never having surfed before. And we ALL stood up within the first 20 min of the lesson. It was such a blast! I was the oldest (over fifty) and had such a good time. Can’t say enough about this awesome company.

Highly Recommend Noah for a Waikiki Surf Lesson! - Noah was absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, he was incredibly patient, gave clear and proper instructions, and made sure we had every possible opportunity to catch as many waves as we could. He never rushed us and was endlessly supportive, which made the whole experience both fun and confidence-boosting. On top of that, he was genuinely funny and kept the energy light the entire time. If you’re in Waikiki and looking for a surfing lesson, I highly recommend Noah—you won’t find a better instructor!

Amazing Surf experience - Selah was awesome. She took my 13yr old son and I out for a private group lesson and we were both up and riding in the first few waves. Super happy with our experience. Thanks again!!

Jamie O’Brien School of Surf - Great experience! Awesome instructors. A couple of hours spent learning something new. Small class size, great individual attention from the instructors, water was perfect! Meeting location was close to the beach. All necessary supplies provided ( surf board, reef shoes, rash guard)- just need a swimsuit, towel and sunscreen.
