We took surf lessons with Ron, and he is incredible, certified, and an absolute pro. He knows the best spots for the best waves at the beach and has so much knowledge about the water, island, and surfing. Tip for any traveler is to support the local, Hawaiian businesses out here. The island is sadly overtaken by large corporate vendors, so please give back and care for what is left of the local community. Surf in the City is a 100% Hawaiian owned business, and going with them for lessons meant we had lifelong islanders with knowledge of the water and island with us as we waited for that next wave. Ron sent us videos and pictures afterward, and we saw a few turtles in the water during our lesson too which was the cherry on top. An absolute blast! Would recommend 10/10 if you’re ever hitting up Waikiki beach. They also have umbrellas and other rentals too. Go with Surf in the City y’all.
