My first time surfing and probably the best instructor I could ask for. Chacy has an amazing soul and love for teaching.

Wonderful experience. Ed, the instructor was very nice and encouraging. Although I have a little extra weight on me at the moment he kept telling me I can do this just keep trying. By the end of the lesson I could almost completely stand up on the board. I plan to book more lessons with him. I would highly recommend this surf school!

Wow. Managed to get lucky with on spot booking on the day for an hour for 4 of the family including our young 8yr old son. 5-10 min on sand practising the basics of getting up quick then out to the water. After 10 min or so everyone had various degrees of success of standing up and surfing. Only regret is I should have tried it sooner in life. A great experience in nice waters and now have the bug, a must try. Reasonably priced and you get continued use of the boards after your lesson has finished.

The private lesson was great for our nine year old granddaughter. The instructor was positive and complimentary. He progressed her skill as she demonstrated her competence. Nikki, the photographer captured great shots of our experience. Waves for surfing were weak so limited the experience a bit.

Excellent instruction. A 13 yr old and 6 yr old were surfing half way through the lesson. The teacher was patient and very good. Excellent experience!

Exceptional experience, my kids (teens) were first timers with surfing and they were catching waves in no time. Ally was amazing, patient, and kind. Edgar was also amazing! The photographer captured some amazing shots of my kids that I’ll be framing and putting up. This was an unexpected experience that became our favorite memory of our entire vacation. Pure Aloha Surf went above and beyond. If you’re looking for an activity while in Cocoa Beach, I highly recommend this.

The only problem we had is not getting a start time confirmed until the day of when booked 2 days in advance. And, I had to call to get confirmation.

Our instructors were Edgar and Nikki, they were very energetic and motivating, absolutely loved their customer service!!!! The weather and waves were awesome, great for first time surfers. The only negative we have is the actual booking doesn't provide any specific times slots, we had to contact the surf shop for details, as well as where to park because the directions on the booking doesn't provide where additional parking is.

Had a great experience with Sam at Pure.Aloha! She was super good with my boys and got them up riding the waves within minutes. First time they'd ever touched a surfboard. They were ready and waiting when we arrived and got straight up on the boards and out on the water after a few simple instructions on the beach. Super happy with the experience.

Great company with great people! Our surf instructor Sam was super sweet and helpful. Most of the people in our group were first timers and Sam was super supportive, easy going, and kind, which kept us in a positive mood when we were defeated from the choppy ocean waves. She made sure to keep all of us safe and motivated us to try again.
