I have to admit I was very nervous for this activity. You are surfing on top of coral reef so if you fall you can get badly injured. The waves on my day were 4-6 feet and mindswell have been 20 feet. Usually they are 1-2 feet from what I was told. I paid for a private lesson and was... more

Joseph had a great time with Richard and we highly recommend him as a surf instructor. Richard taught Joseph wave etiquette and safety as well as gave him surf terminology and a real Aloha spirit.
