Brandon was amazing! He assessed each kids capabilities and worked with them at their level. Balancing 4 girls between 8-13 on land is tough, having them surfing and up catching wave and having a blast was the best. Private lessons were worth every penny! The girls wanted a second day and we were happy to do it. They also had great rates on gear and board rentals since we were in North Myrtle on Vacation. 100% will do again and highly recommend KOKOPELLI while in Myrtle or North Myrtle Beach!

My two kids had surfing lessons with Instructor Logan. They said she was awesome and really enjoyed learning from her. My kids never surfed before and were riding almost every wave! Highly recommend.

My kids absolutely loved their experience, first time surfing with John. He engaged in conversation with them, talking about their favorite place, Hawaii. My daughter and son were both able to ride the waves! It was a perfect day!! John was the best. They are ready to do it again!

My daughter and her 2 cousins had a great time learning to surf with Kokopelli! They learned so much and they each caught multiple waves! The owner and staff were super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them!!

My daughter(12yo) and I(48yo) got private surf lessons on the 28th and 29th. John was our instructor and we had the absolute best time!! My daughter and I both just absolutely enjoyed ourselves. John gave super helpful tips and tricks in real time to help us catch some waves. I can’t recommend this service enough. Twenty minutes into the first day my daughter asked if we could sign up for another day!!

We had a great lesson with John! He was very knowledgeable, patient and made the experience fun for me and my son. I would highly recommend John for a private lesson.

Our kids had a great time with their first experience of surfing! Ages 13,15,17, the instructors had the right surf boards all ready to go and were very informative so that all three of them could succeed and get up on their first wave! They also suggested a change in time so that our kids could have better waves than if we had waited till later in the day, something we would have never been able to know. You can tell that the instructors enjoy teaching something they love.

Had a great time learning to surf at kokopelli. Both instructors were knowledgeable and passionate about surfing. This old dude rode waves to the beach several times and had some gnarly wipeouts. So much fun!
