My family loved our surf lessons on the North Shore with Andy from 808 Surf School. Booking was super easy—808 was quick to respond and really helpful with all our questions. Andy was friendly, patient, safety‑focused, and just a fantastic instructor overall. The spot he took us to was perfect for learning: uncrowded, shallow, and easy to get to. We were able to park right on the side of the road and walk straight out to the water. After the lesson, we grabbed food nearby, which was ideal. We had so much fun, and it honestly ended up being the highlight of our Hawai‘i vacation. We all felt comfortable and actually caught waves. I highly recommend 808 Surf School for a family‑friendly surf experience on Oahu.

Andy was AWESOME!!! Great teacher. My kids and I were able to stand up right away and we surfed all morning. The kids loved him. He was super patient and really coached them to be future long term surfers. They have a new hobby to enjoy for the rest of their lives. All thanks to Andy and 808 surf school. Also gave us great recommendations for great local spots. Mahalo!

Absolutely recommend it! My girlfriend and I had a super great surf lesson with Jon. We've never ridden so many waves as we did that day! Jon did a great job. If you want to learn to surf, this is the right place for you

808 Surf School rocks!!! Reached out on short notice for a private lesson for my son. Communication by text with Mike was fast, payment was easy and directions were clear and simple. Met instructor Hugo, who was fantastic with my son. He popped right up on his first wave and had a blast for 2 hours. Was a great morning - highly recommend. Hope we see you again.

We had a great family surf lesson with Andy, we had the beach pretty much to ourselves, and all of us were surfing by the end of the lesson! Would highly recommend!

If you’re nervous about a surfing excursion or looking for that private beech feel on Oahu, book with 808 Surf School!! Surfing was a bucket list item for my 13 year old daughter and I (Dad) tagged along. While she was admittedly better than me, our 2 hour private session flew by. We were both up on our boards many times and by the end totally comfortable on our boards. Our instructor Kaiser was so much fun. He encouraged us the whole time and gave great tips to make us more confident through the afternoon. He embodied the Aloha vibe. The beach was perfect. Not crowded like some of the other tours we’ve seen, and the waves kept coming! Do yourself a favor and book with 808 Surf School!

Had a blast with Andy! Our family was visiting from Alaska and wanted to get a little surf time in. The beach we took our lesson was across the street from where we were staying in Punaluu, super convenient and great learners beach spot. He was chill and a great teacher, my kids were ages 9, 11, 14, 17 and my husband and I did the lesson as well. 🤙🏽
