What To Expect
At our company, we strive to provide the best surfing lessons for visitors to Waikiki. The lesson begins with a thorough land lesson, covering essential topics such as safety, proper positioning on the board, and paddling techniques. We use top-of-the-line surfboards provided by Moku Surf Shop and walk to the nearby beach to get into the water and start our lesson. We surf together as a group, allowing beginners to feel comfortable and confident as they learn. Paddling and surfing can be an excellent workout, so we encourage visitors to drink plenty of water and come hydrated. All you need to bring is a swimsuit, as we provide all other necessary equipment. Surfing is an incredible experience that is both exhilarating and fun, and we are excited to share this adventure with you!

5.00My husband and I really enjoyed the surf lessons. We had never tried it before, so Max taught us from scratch. He explained everything very well and prepared us for our first waves. The lessons took place in a great atmosphere, Max created a very good vibe, he was absolutely kind, patient and attentive to our mistakes, correcting them immediately. Thanks to him, we will definitely try it again.
Amazing :) Highlight of my Hawaii Trip

5.00Max was an amazing surf instructor! He's super friendly, warm and full of positive energy - exactly what you need when you're taking your first surf lesson and feeling a bit nervous. I was a little scared at first, but with his help i learned quickly and has so much fun!!
Max, Rick and the whole team rocked! 🤘

5.00Great time had by all. Max was our instructor and lived up to his reputation. Both kiddos (8&11) were up on the second run and continually got better over our lesson. We ended, got lunch and rented boards for 2 more hours! Rick and Max were both out there giving advice and cheering us on. Rick was nice enough to wheel the boards back. Everyone had a blast and we have a new favorite hobby for the kiddos.

5.00It was a lot of fun. Everything was explained to you calmly and repeated if necessary. On the sea there was always time for personal conversations, I felt very comfortable. I am very satisfied and would do it again immediately.
Fantastic!

5.00It was absolutely amazing 10/10 would recommend. Our instructor Max was so patient and great at giving instructions on what I was doing wrong and how to fix it. I was amazed at how well we both were able to do with no experience in surfing. My husband was even able to paddle into a couple waves himself! This was so so fun and would recommend Max to anyone!
Great experience!!

5.00Max is a great teacher! It was our first time surfing and both my boyfriend and I stood up and rode waves within the first few tries—it was so much fun!!!! Max made everything feel easy, safe, and exciting with clear instructions and great energy. Pro tip: if you get seasick easily, keep your meal light before the lesson:) I threw up like squid shooting ink.
