We used Hawaiian Surf Adventure that we purchased on groupon. Glad we did it. On my bucket list was learn to surf and I can now cross it off. The guys are very helpful and made it easy. I was able to get up on my first try and then I just let everyone else go. That was all I... More

“Kind of fast”

Reviewed January 19, 2012

The staff wasfriendly. But the lesson was kind of short. It was supposed to start 9:00 am but we did not leave until 20 minutes later. The surf place was close, about 5' drive. Our guy James was pretty cool. The brief land lesson was quick and easy to catch. Standing on the board was easier than I thought. But... More

“Awesome experience, no crowds, great instructors!”

We had the best time with these guys and have no reservations giving this business 5 stars. Our instructor Matt was so great and made sure our small group of 5 all caught waves. They also take pics with a go pro camera from the water that made me look like a pro! Thanks! I loved this surf lesson. Please... More

“Outrigger Paddling Rocks!!”

Reviewed January 8, 2012

Randon took all five of us adults/teens on a twelve man outrigger--talk us how to really paddle and professionally change sides....Once out on the water, he filled us with immense knowledge of the mountains, craters, history of paddling and history of the Hawaiian people, origin of the "hang loose" hand gestures and then caught some awesome waves! It was fantastic!... More

Reviewed January 6, 2012

Had experianced on a prior trip to Oahu HSA and went bak again this Christmas. Again, it was an extremely enjoyable experiance. No crowds, excellent friendly instructors and a great day on the water. The thing I find difficult with surfing is the paddling to catch the wave and the timiing. The beautiful approach they take in riding behind you... More

“Stand-Up Paddleboarding - Loved this!!”

Reviewed December 28, 2011

This was one of the best activities of our two-week holiday. Such fun! Our instructor Randon was the best! He had us standing and enjoying this fabulous sport in no time. We had a quick, but thorough, lesson on technique before we drove to Maunalua Beach where we put boards into the water and all his instructions into practice .... More

Our instructor Matt was great and everyone in our group got up on our boards. Great patience and great energy. We had a groupon coupon which made it a great deal. A bit out of the way and we were a bit late due to taking the bus but there was no issue - we were on island time :)... More

“They make learning to surf easy (well...easier!)”

Reviewed September 24, 2011

My husband and I took a beginner's surfing lesson here using a Groupon deal. I had one previous surfing experience in Brazil, but this was his first time. These guys really do all they can to make it a positive experience. There were several pros versus my previous surfing lesson. For starters, they don't keep you practicing on the sand... More

“Awesome First Time Surf Experience”

Although my husband and I lived in Hawaii in the 90's, we were young and broke - and never managed to take any surf lessons. In July 2011 we went back to Oahu for vacation, and decided we had to try surfing during our visit. I chose Hawaiian Surf Adventure because they had a couple of good reviews on google,... More

“What a rip off.”

Reviewed August 8, 2011

Bought a groupon which said a "Two hour group stand-up-paddle-surf lesson" and didn't get what i paid for. It was implied that it was a stand up paddle SURFING lesson, not just a stand up paddle boarding lesson. Definitely not worth the money you have to pay. They also said they would take you out on a boat to the... More
