I wanted to get instruction on short boarding and Ivan delivered. I was having trouble stepping down from a long board, and Ivan was able to easily identify what I was doing wrong with my pop up, stance and turning. Progressed significantly in the span of a two hour lesson. My confidence has increased tremendously and most of all I had an absolute blast. I will be booking a series of lessons as a return customer.…

Great experience for my kids with a great instructor. Ivan taught them water safety on dry land first and then carefully navigated them to a lineup without many people so that they could enjoy their experience comfortably and safely.

I have surfed with Ivan and Jen on three of my past visits to Hawaii. They have always been very instructive and helpful. They know how to teach and work with people. They also share their love for the island This was my first time trying stand up paddle boarding. On my last trip Ivan told me that Jen competed in the inter island SUP competition and that she was a great instructor. He was right. Jen was able to give me guidance almost before I needed it. She really wants you to have a great time and learn about this fun sport. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to try this I definitely will be back for another lesson on my next trip to Hawaii…
