Private Surf Lesson at Waikiki Beach

JR was a fun and patient instructor. Highly recommend!

Booked each of my 3 boys a private surf lesson. They had great instructors who were fun and great with them. My boys loved surfing and well worth it

Awesome experience! Instructors were very calm, professional and clear in how to surf :). Was a perfect place for a first beginner like me that has never surfed before in my life! 5/5!

Booked for our grandson for his first time surfing. Group instruction in the room then had a personal escort on the water. Keava was a perfect match. Had a fantastic experience.

My son had a great time and was riding waves in minutes! His instructor was informative and encouraging. It was a little hectic when we arrived because the first Instructor was running late and there was a lot of standing around, but when another instructor took over, all was well. They recommend coming with a long sleeve rash guard. Otherwise you have to rent one for five dollars and they don’t really have kids sizes. Overall, a good experience.

Nicely situated in Waikik this is a great time learning to surf. The instructor teaches you how to position, paddle, and stand on the board. More importantly sets you with the best waves for your initial trials. I was able to stand quickly and on my third trial rode the wave all the way to the beach. Basic surfing mechanics is easy but nuanced. Having the instructor right there personally correcting your form is very helpful. Highly recommended. Prefer over the group class. There was one right next to us. They didn’t have half the fun I had. Saw several turtles right by my board too. Awesome day!

Horrible experience. Booked a private lesson which cost more than group. My husband is not a novice surfer, he just wanted to get 1:1 time with a surfer in Hawaii to help increase his surfing skills. Unfortunately somehow a lady got added to his lesson, so it was not private at all, and the instructor only focused on that lady. After about 30 minutes of my husband waiting to get lesson time, he got fed up and just went and surfed on his own. The instructor didn’t help him at all. My husband even walked back by himself. Also the board they gave him was horrible, it was really slippery. So the one thing the instructor did do was switch boards with him. Other than that, he got absolutely no instruction time. The instructor was just focused on the lady in the leopard bikini. Not a good experience at all. My husband had been looking forward to this all week. We saved it for last and unfortunately it was very disappointing. When I called the owner (since I booked it and paid for it as a gift to my husband) he acted like he didn’t believe me, said my husband should complain, which he did onsite and they said we had to call the owner. All the owner did was offer to book again, but it’s our last day so we can’t. Do not recommend at all. There are other companies you can book from and hopefully have a much better experience.

Great instructors; kids had a blast and improved their skills immensely. Learned alot about surfing and the history of the area

Had am amazing experience with Big Wave Dave's surfing lessons. Pauly was my instructor for a private lesson and he was awesome. I would recommend if you want surf lessons in Oahu, check out Big Wave Dave's

it was amazing! even if there weren’t a lot of waves, I did it! I thought that it would’ve been a mess, but the instructor gave me all the tips to make it and I made it!
