I've been surfing off and on for years, but my progress had hit a plateau, especially in key areas like positioning for a set, timing (paddling and pop up), adjusting my weight on the board, and turning. I decided to start fresh with a group lesson and then followed up with a semi-private lesson (which ended up private as nobody else booked). Adam, my instructor, was absolutely incredible.
Adam is chilled out and patient, and he quickly spotted the exact areas where I was struggling. He explained everything very clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. He didn't just teach me what to do, but he taught me HOW to do it. In just two lessons alone, Adam helped me break through plateaus Iāve had for years. Iāve taken surf lessons in different parts of the world, but Adam is by far the best instructor Iāve ever had.
Proper wave positioning has been such a tricky skill for me to learn, and no one before Adam had been able to teach me how to learn it. He explained it in a way that clicked instantly, something Iāve needed for over a decade. If you're struggling with this, make sure to ask Adam about his techniqueāitās a game changer!
I ended up catching and riding more waves in two lessons with Adam than I have in years. Save yourself the frustration of missing more waves and let Adam guide you past your sticking points. As a bonus, they provide you with reef shoes to protect your feet. It's also very convenient to check-in for your lesson if you're already staying at the Sheraton Kauai Resort @ Poipu. Hawaiian Style Surfing is hands down a must-book lesson.
