I have 4 kids from 6-13, and we were a little nervous about taking them all. However we were immediately put to ease by their amazing instructors. They spend hours with us and made sure we all got up and even my 6 yr old girl! Thank you again for a great time! More

Bryan was personable and welcoming from the moment he answered the phone. There were no waves in sight and reports were poor during our north shore stay. However, he assured me there was surf where his instructors would take us.  The hotel concierge knew just who i was talking about when I asked for directions. It was clear he is... More

After taking a surfing lesson at Waikiki Beach with our three children, we headed to the North Shore. This is where the real surfers stay. We had an amazing day with two professional and legendary surfers. My kids are 7, 9, and 11, and they took great care of all of us. Instead of us paddling out, they towed us.... More

We were on a family trip to Oahu and wanted to surf. My dad needed a refresher and my 11 year old son wanted to try, so we stopped for lessons. Boy am I glad we stopped. We took a 1-Hour lesson and it was very helpful. My dad was back to his surfing days getting the refresher he needed... More

My wife and I took a 2 hour lesson with Christian. Neither one of us had surfed before. He reviewed some important fundamentals on land, and then off we went in the water. Both of us made it up on our first waves! Christian was right by our side the hole time to give feeback and advice. We each caught... More

I just got back from a trip to Hawaii with my mom and sisters. We visited Haleiwa in the beginning of our trip and saw Uncle Bryan's van that said Stand-Up Paddle Boards and Surfing. It was later in the day so we asked about the paddle boards and Uncle Bryan was so great to us, he let us take... More

I am new to surfing and unfamiliar with the waters on the North Shore. Connor was awesome at providing me with tips, letting me improve my skills and keeping me safe. I paid for a group lesson and had a private. My best day in Oahu. More

Really nice group of people run this school on the North shore. Uncle Bryan runs a very friendly and professional operation here. As with most places they provide a shirt so you don't get board rash. For our beginner lesson beach instructions were very specific and repetitious so we would remember the essentials when out on the water. Their location... More
