5.00This is our 7th year surfing with Brandon and team at Kokopelli. Two kids and a various cast of friends join each year and it continues to be the BEST surf experience. Brandon and Josh were amazing coaching the kids according to different skill levels and always up for fun. This year we had one complete newbie who was up on the board within first 15minutes. The organization and management is super professional, sessions start on time and communication is great. We will be back next season!
Best experience for teens and young kids! We had 4 girls between 8-13 with varying experience swimming and surfing .

5.00Brandon 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!

5.00My 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!!
Great surf day!

5.00Our 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.
