This was my first surfing lesson. Paul was an absolutely great teacher. He adjusted the instruction to level of my ability, allowing me to progress to semi-standing on the surf board at conclusion of first lesson.
Not only was Paul an excellent instructor, he was also a fine ambassador for Oahu and surfing culture in general.
If you are up for surfing lessons and willing to take your chances on the vagaries of catching a wave, then you should definitely add Big Wave Dave Surf Co to your "must-do activities" list for your next trip to Honolulu.
