Didn't expect to stand up on the board, but I did that and my first lesson went way better than I imagined, and was epic

Straightforward and personable instruction for any first-timer. Precise directions were given so it was very easy to find the meetup location. And the beach had minimal crowds. I didn't prepay for a photo/video package but I'm glad they still took media of everyone and I was able to purchase on the back end. Mahalo Anthony and Luca read more

Let's Surf HI - Eisenhower Beach - Surf Schools Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

Our first family trip to Hawaii and Aulani connected us to Let's Surf HI. Anthony, Moana, and their crew could not be more accommodating and helpful with our 8 year old. He was given an overview of the process while on the beach before heading into the water. Anthony was attentive and did great in easing any jitters. They were up on that board in no time. The whole process felt safe, inviting, and fun! We will definitely be back! read more

My daughter took a private surf lesson with Let's Surf HI. The beach where they have their lessons was perfect; empty with plenty of waves. Her instructor was knowledgeable and patient. She had a blast! We also bought some of the professional pictures they took. They even had a tent for the parents to sit in the shade. Highly recommend! read more

Supsquatch is a must if you visit Oahu with friends/family. I have gone out with Anthony and his crew twice on 2 separate visits. It is such a fun experience, amazing memories that will last a lifetime. Anthony and his crew are amazing, they are the nicest and so much fun. I highly recommend the supsquatch. This was the highlight of our trip! read more

What a wonderful group! We made our way over to Eisenhower Beach and I think my kids must have caught dozens of waves that day. The team was extremely supportive and really made sure everyone had fun in a safe and engaging environment. Making for an even better day, they caught great videos and images of the entire day! Can't wait to come back and have my kids learn more technique on a smaller board next time! read more

These guys are wonderful!!! I would give them 10 stars if that option was available. I brought both my daughters (24,17) and they loved every second. The two surfers that were in the water w/ the kids were very encouraging, giving them pointers and tips and celebrating with them when they actually stood up and rode the waves. I also liked that its a small group setting (my girls were the only ones taking a lesson). They also have a camera set-up and they take lots of great pics that you can buy if your interested. Their pics were def better than any of mine. I really can't recommend Let's Surf Hi enough- absolutely fabulous!!!! read more

Amazing experience. These folks are really great with kids. The kids learned quickly and with safety.

I cannot say enough great things about our experience! My husband and I had 8 kids with us ages 16-21(for my daughters 17th birthday) and they all took a lesson together as well as my husband. Everyone caught waves the entire time. There was no waiting around for 1 person to go at a time. They had 1 instructor for every 2 people so 4 instructors total which gave everyone the opportunity to catch a ton of waves ( i mention this because the 2nd part of our trip was on the north shore and we did the jamie obrian surf experience also at turtle bay and it was not a good experience with i think each person only catching 1 or 2 waves over the course of 2 hours because they only had 2 instructors for 8 people) The instructors at LSH were super helpful and knowledgeable and made sure everyone was safe the entire time also. The photographer taking photos was super friendly as well. 10 of 10 for this company!! read more

My kiddo had a blast in her lesson with John. The instructors were all so friendly and kind and the whole experience was such a great introduction to surfing. We will definitely be back on our next trip to HI. read more

We had 5 surfers and they all got up on the board multiple times. They all loved it!! This was our second time taking a lesson from them and we highly recommend it. Our kids favorite experience!! read more

This was an incredible experience, nothing but the best water men & women teaching one on one with their clients. The instructors are world class (no joke) surfers that truly know how to teach. My 12 daughter got up on her first wave and the picture below is at the end of my 17 year olds 1st ever surfing experience. We were blown away- it was the real highlight of of our trip!!! read more

Excellent ownership of Anthony and Miku. Very kid friendly and go the extra mile to make the surfing experience enjoyable for kids and adults. My son has tried other surf schools on the island and this one is by far the best. Make sure you ask for videos and pictures for memories. "5 star" company! read more

Let's Surf HI - Surf lesson for 8 years old - Surf Schools Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

These guys are amazing! It was my first time surfing -- first time paddling out actually -- and I felt so safe and supported. I was shocked I stood up and actually "caught" a wave that first time thanks to the instructor's calm guidance. Highly recommend and wish we could do this all the time! read more

Amazing, uplifting experience for my kids (and me!), guided by seasoned, kind, generous-hearted instructors who really know how to work with children and beginners. We were staying at the Aulani, and this surf school was recommended by them. Everything from end-to-end was easy well-organized, professional yet warm and family-like, with great communication from the Let's Surf team (even texting us turn by turn directions on how to find them). When we arrived at the spot on the beautiful Eisenhower Beach, our family was greeted warmly and made to feel welcome (Aloha spirit in action). The kids were given the basic instructions on the sand, and then off to the water. My eldest got up pretty quick, with lots of enthusiasm and encouragement from her instructor Jack. My little one was more scared, so her instructor took a gentle more hands on approach -- never pushing her or making her feel pressured OR feel bad about not feeling confident out in the waves. It's awesome how they were able to modulate teaching style to suit each learner. My older kid walked away glowing with confidence that lasted throughout the trip. My littler one walked away with an open heart to trying again some day even though it was scary for her at the time (I really know this is because she was never pressured or forced). Oh! And they had an awesome photographer who took great action shots with her telephoto lens. We bought the pics because they were great and they made my kids feel like real pro surfers :D Next time we are blessed enough to make it back to O'ahu, we will definitely be setting up another class. Who knows...maybe I will even get myself out there! read more

These guys were amazing! Very helpful with us beginners and super helpful with pictures and great videos!

This was the most Authentic Hawaiian Experience that we had on our whole trip. We booked a 1hr surf lesson and had the best time. Our instructors were patient, knowledgeable, encouraging and fun! We can't wait to go back! read more

Let's Suf HI was recommended by a friend and I can only say wonderful things about his group. We were a group of 6 and the instructors really accommodated themselves to what ever level you are in. We only have wonderful things to say. Eisenhower Beach is a great place because it is not crowded and you do not have to swim too out to catch a wave. They were positive, cheered everyone as we attempted to surf. Do not consider in booking with anyone else! You will not regret it. read more

Let's Surf HI - Surf Schools Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

It was our first time trying to surf, we had the beach to ourself with 1:1 instructors. Very positive and supportive. When we return we will definitely take a lesson again from them!! Excellent first lesson !! read more

I highly recommend Let's Surf HI. The location is on a secluded beach and is easy to access from Aulani. The instructor Anthony is an amazing guy who is patient and a great teacher of many things including surfing. My wife and two daughters (age 6 and 8) all were surfing within 20 minutes of being on the waves. My wife has been teaching dance and golf her entire adult life and commented that these instructors had an excellent, well thought out and step by step process to get great results fast. We both teach golf and really appreciate instruction that is detailed and professional. I could not recommend this company any higher than 5 stars otherwise I would. Thanks Anthony and team for the awesome experience. We will be back soon. read more

My two girls had the best time surfing. It was so cool to watch them in the water. The instructors were so attentive to the kids. They also captured the coolest videos and photos on the girls surfing. I was so pleased with the experience. I was super skeptical when we were parking, but once we made our way to the beach, it was awesome. The beach is practically to yourself. Thanks for making it so special. read more

This was such a great experience! My son and I each had a lesson, the instructors were so helpful and encouraging. The location on beautiful Eisenhower Beach is secluded and you have the waves to yourself. They take amazing pictures that you can buy when the lesson is over. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for an amazing surf experience when visiting Oahu. read more

This was our third experience with LetSurfHI, as it was our third visit to Ko'olina. They are amazing and so friendly and helpful. They are so great with my kids and it's definitely one of the highlights of our trips. We can't wait to go back next year and do it again. read more

My favorite memory from my whole trip! I could not recommend doing this enough. I was pretty nervous going into this but walking up to the instructors and I'm guessing the owner I felt at ease! They had the best energy and they were so excited to help us. My instructor was Scott and my boyfriend's was Ethan. They were both amazing. Scott made me feel so safe!! On multiple occasions he hoped off of his board to help me stay steady when a bigger wave was coming through. Even staying on the board he continuously looked out for me and my safety. He pushed me to try a lot of waves and I had a blast doing so. When waiting for a wave, we had great conversations about Hawaii, what I had done on the trip so far, and more. If I could have done this again before I left, I would have. If you can request instructors DEFINITELY request these two. read more

I can't say enough great things about everyone at Let's Surf HI. We were very nervous to try surfing and from the moment we walked up, we felt at ease and took care of everything! My parents came to watch and expected to sit on a beach blanket but they had chairs and a tent setup. We did a private instruction which o highly recommend because each of us had the individual help we needed. They had rash guards and shoes there ready for you to use and life jackets for smaller children that aren't strong swimmers. read more

Let's serve made our vacation incredible! We had the best time the owner and her cute kids and the instructors were amazing! My oldest daughter, skateboards & snowboards so she got up right away on her first wave. My youngest was super scared to do it and her instructor was incredibly patient with her and sat with her on the beach while she watched people and was ready to go out on her own she didn't get up but she had such a great time using the surfboard as a boogie board and getting up on her knees when she taught her.I would highly highly highly recommend this company it was fun from start to finish with them and they're on the most beautiful beach a little bit hard to fine but so worth it! They made our vacation killer and took incredible photos which we didn't even know were happening and they weren't too expensive to buy all the pictures so it was great I can't wait to go back on our next Hawaiian vacation! read more

Highly recommend them! We booked a 1 hour lesson with them yesterday- for 2 adults and 1 child. They were able to give us the lesson altogether at the same time which we preferred so we can all be in the water and cheer each other on together. Our guides were led by Anthony. He and his team were very patient, accommodating and encouraging for us first-timers. Their tips were handy and practical and we will use them when we surf again. We paid $120 for the photo/video package which was well worth it. We did not have to take our own photos or videos so we could just focus on our lesson and have fun. read more

I was staying at Aulani and surfing is one of the activities not offered at the resort for my tween. I called and talked to a person immediately and arranged a lesson for the next morning. Took a $20 each-way Uber ride out to Eisenhower Beach and they had a guy waiting for me right at the trailhead to walk me to the beach. They had a pop-up on the beach and provided a board, rashguard, and footies. The instructors were super kid-friendly and beginner-friendly. There was a 5-minute dry land lesson and the rest of the time on the water. My kid had a blast, got up a lot with the instructor helping to get enough speed to catch waves! If I had it to do over again, I would've talked my more timid 8-year old into doing a lesson! I saw kids younger than that having an absolute blast with tandem paddling and riding. I also wouldn't have wasted time videoing on an iPhone since I found out later that they offer video and stills for an additional fee and they were way better than my phone media. I also would've gone out there myself! Once I was standing on the beach watching it, I really wanted to do it too! Everyone was super friendly and helpful; very positive experience. read more

Awesome owners, super down to earth and very insightful and concise pointers on how to improve. Good for adults as well as kids. They really give you the guidance you need to improve. Photo and video package was great, well worth the extra cost! Wouldn't take a lesson anywhere else in Oahu read more

I had the best time ever with these guys. Both 5 year olds took a lesson and the instructors were so good with them. One of the owners came out with me no charge because I was a bit nervous. I didn't think I needed a lesson but it had been awhile since I surfed. Took a lesson next day and booked another for two days later. He was super knowledgeable in surfing and teaching. I 100% recommend these guys. read more

I did a 1 hour surf lesson in March of 2020 and had a blast! The instructors and owner were so friendly and encouraging. This was my first time on a surf board and they had me up and riding waves after only 3 tries! It was such a fun time! The beach is secluded and completely beautiful. The shuttle service from the Ko'Olina hotels was very convenient. I didn't know at the time but I think paying for the shuttle service also allows 1-2 non-riders to come with you so they can watch the lesson. They take great photos of your lesson that are for sale. The only bummer part of the experience was that the price of the photos felt a little steep. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Let's Surf HI to anyone looking for a lesson on Oahu. They are spreading the aloha spirit! Definitely check them out for an awesome experience! read more

Amazing instructors, they made it so easy for us. Kids loved it & we all stood up the very first wave out. Highly recommended

Wanted to give Let's Surf Hi a huge shout out. The experience and instructors were amazing. We had a group of all brand new surfers ranging from age 6-70. They were so patient and did a great job making everyone feel safe out there. The kids and adults had a blast. read more

My husband an i have been to Hawaii before but have never tried surfing ( I was super nervous) but we decided to give it a try. Our hotel referenced us to Lets Surf HI and boy was it a great experience. We learned in a nice beach where the water wasn't too deep at all and the instructors were so encouraging. We got up and surfed on our 2nd try! It was a great experience and everyone was so nice. They had a few instructors taking go pro videos of us and a nice woman on the beach taking photos of us learning to surf and surfing on the water. They offered differnet options for photos and videos at an extra charge (she lets you look through the pics and videos at the end of your lesson) Would totally recommend them!!! read more

What a terrific experience! Our friend, Yasue, at the Beach Club recommended Miku & her team. Our instructors, Zane, Luke & Keith were expert! They made lessons fun & helped guide us through everything! One of us had never surfed before & one of us had not been on a board in years - it was awesome! We both look forward to coming back & learning more! read more

I'd give them 6 stars if I could. I booked beginner lessons for my grandkids while still on the mainland. Miku was very helpful in selecting the right one-on-one instructors, and efficiently handled all the payment arrangements. She sent me directions to the beach (15-20 minutes from Ko 'Olina), and confirmed by text message. Our grandkids had never surfed before, and they were both up and riding within a half hour. The instructors have a fantastic, patient attitude, and much to our relief, they were safety-first, as well. In addition, they took GoPro videos of their surf rides, and Miku shot long-lens still photos, all of which were uploaded by that evening for us (gladly purchased). I just cannot say enough good things about our experience, and our grandkids are beaming with a new accomplishment. Highly recommend. read more
