I've been out with Girls Who Surf a few times now and each time has been a huge confidence boost. The instructors take you out to great breaks and place you in a spot that is within your comfort zone. I find the instructors friendly, experienced, and fun and would recommend GWS to everyone...not just girls!! :) more

I am a 30 year old female and was a bit hesistant about trying surfing for the first time at my age I thought I was going to be learning among tweens. I was relieved to see that my group consisted of 5 adults and 2 adult instructors. The instructor who picked me up was right on time. The instructors... more

My first time in Hawaii, I wanted to learn how to surf. My hotel recommened Girls Who Surf, and I was extremely pleased with them! I went to two other surf instructors while I was in Honolulu, and Girls who Surf was by far the best (not that the other two were bad)! My instructor, Amy, was very helpful! She... more

Had to cancel our original lesson due to the tsunami warning, and they were more than accomodating about us cancelling and rescheduling it for a different day. We actually went with Hans Hedemann, Hawaiin Fire and Girls Who Surf, and Girls Who Surf were by far my favourite choice and the most reasonably priced too out of the rest. Our... more

Booked a last minute semi private lesson for my 13 year old nephew and 12 year old son on the heels of a disasterous fishing trip and both boys thought it was one of the highlights of the trip. We arrived 15 minutes late (partly our own fault and partly crummy directions from the hotel conceige) but that was not... more

Girls Who Surf is an incredible company who really knows the right way to give surfing lessons! We took four lessons in total back-to-back during a four-day stay in Waikiki. Each lesson was definitely tailored to how much experience we gained the previous day and helped us gain the confidence that we needed to level up. The instructors were awesome,... more

Aloha USA100percent, I apologize that you were disappointed with your experience. I personally received your booking call and through reservations questioning, I did become aware that you hoped your daughter would have a good experience. In fact, that day we did accomplish these things: 1. Operated the activity on the same day, within hours notice, and fulfilled the request of...

We chose GWS based upon the great reviews they have received on tripadvisor.com. My son's (14 years) and my experience was very mediocre. We received minimal instruction and feedback from our instructor; my son eventually became discouraged. We were both able to get up a few times, which was very cool. The instructor was pretty distant and appeared bored. After... more

Girls Who Surf did a great job at helping my husband and I learn how to surf. Once in the water the instructors would give us suggestions to help us ride the waves better & longer. With the help of the instructors my husband and I were able to ride several waves. more
