We had 3 eager young boys, 7, 9, and 10 from the Pacific Northwest visiting for a few weeks. Born and raised in Hawaii, I taught my sons to surf when they were at a similar age over 20 years ago. I have been familiar with Waikiki beach services for many years and did not hesitate to ask them to give my boys surf lessons. Each boy had his own surf instructor who had all three standing up and catching waves within a few minutes of being in the lineup. Of course, the dry land orientation and expert tips on surfing before going into the water contributed to their success on the waves. I cannot overstate how “stoked” the boys were and they all agreed that this was the highlight of their trip to Hawaii. They have done all kinds of things since they’ve been here, so that is very high praise. I would definitely recommend Waikiki beach services to visitors, friends, and family. The staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. Mahalo.
