Great experience with Stoke Drift! Our instructor, Dan Dan was wonderful! His instructions were simple and straight forward. After a brief introduction on the beach, we were paddling out to the water in minutes, which I really enjoyed since we got to maximize our time in the ocean. I was able to stand on my board on my second try!
While there are a lot of surf lesson options in Waikiki, my husband and I had a great experience with Stoke Drift and will be recommending it to our friends!
PARKING: We parked a lot just across the street where you can pay by hour. We walked onto the beach and the stand is around the back of the building address.
LOCATION: The stand is located right in front of a stairwell and a shaved ice place.
TIMING: We also did the early morning session on a Sunday, which we liked since it was before the beach got too crowded.
