For a long-time land-locked wannabe surfer this was an awesome experience.
Austin, Kira, and Sophia were an excellent crew and taught me all I needed to know to get up surfing in my first lesson. Second lesson (yep, so much fun I came back two days later!) I caught many waves.
My success was mostly because of their skill, experience and ability to provide just the right instruction. More than that, they were fun-loving, surf-loving locals who made me feel part of the family.
I would highly recommend Surf HNL for anyone who wants to try, or improve on, their surfing. Just be sure you or your driver follow the instructions to the beach exactly - it's a little tricky to find - but that makes it great because it's an uncrowded authentic Hawaii surf experience.
