I'd surfed just once before in my life (a group lesson on Waikiki about 5 years ago), managed to get up a few times with instructor assistance but had no confidence in my ability to surf without assistance. However, it was enough of a taste to fall in love with surfing, so I was excited to have another opportunity to... More

These guys rent surfboards across from a nice surfing beach; basic stuff. Make sure you check the gear over with them before you hand over the credit card. We rented a board for my daughter for a few hours, and came home to extra charges; the cost of a new board! They claim we broke it in the middle. Got... More

Clear instruction, wonderful support ,and cheers as Dante set up our boards for success as the waves approached . All we had to do was listen & wait until he said paddle hard , he gave us a necessary push to actually stick the wave and then said "STAND UP." Good Grief if we could not get standing on our... More

We really wanted to try surfing in Kona. My husband was an avid California surfer in college but it had been at least 10 years and it was my first time.

My husband, 8 yr old son, and 6 yr old son took a semi-private morning lesson from Kona Surf School. I had spent the drive down explaining to the boys how much practice surfing takes, how it is normal to fall down a lot, how learning is part of the fun, etc. HA! I could've skipped the pep talk. Both... More

this was quite good albeit like many things in Kona a bit pricey; we paid effectively 180USD for two to take a net 1 hour in the water surf lesson. the group was small and there were two instructors; things went well and my kids felt totally at ease and confident thereafter.

We all did a group surfing lesson. The instructors were very good - they did a nice job of coaching a group of about 12. We all stood up and had fun! The instructors were attentive to safety and also to courtesy of the local surfers who use this beach. We will do this again, and I would probably do... More

The men in the family (Dad, 17 and 14 yr old) decided to surf in the morning without lessons. Dad had surfed a couple times years ago - obviously couldn't teach the boys anything and they caught a couple waves each at the beginner surfing beach where the K Surf School teaches (I am unable to type in the name...
