Everybody was great! Pedro was a patient and amazing instructor, all of us (wife, daughter, and I all never having surfed before) were able to stand up and have fun. Johnny takes some great pictures too! (I'm sure I'm falling down here, but don't tell anyone because he made me look like a pro!)

Sol was so patient, kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable! I took a lesson with my two teens at the cove which is the perfect place for beginners. Everything was very well organized and run by very nice, helpful people. Even though it was a group lesson, there were multiple instructors there who broke it down into small groups. We all greatly enjoyed it and I highly recommend Sol, she was amazing!

So glad that we had this AMAZING experience! We were a little unsure if our family wanted to take surfing lessons, but we ALL agree this was one of our favorite things we did on our trip in Maui. David our instructor did a great job at teaching us all to be successful surfers. He also made sure we got the most out of our time, riding as many waves as possible! My son struggled a little at first, but David was wonderful working with him and by the end my son felt very confident. My daughter caught on quicker and David gave her a few more challenges to keep her excited. The whole crew really made us feel comfortable and wanted us to have the best experience. Was also very pleased with the smaller group sizes and the area they chose to have us surf. Another company was doing lessons just down from us but had very large groups and less space to work. If we come back we will 100% book this again.

My husband, 12 year old daughter and I had the most amazing time learning to surf! The instructor Pedro had a gentle manner with our nervous kid, and thanks to him she was up and riding a wave on her second attempt! John and his crew took the best photos - I 100% had to get the photo package which captured the absolute joy we felt out on the water. The bonus no one mentioned in the reviews was how many turtles are in the water with you! Surfing in Maui with turtles has got to be the best experience ever. 10/10 would recommend.

The highlight of our trip! This was our first trip to Maui and my 10 year old twins just loved surfing with Jesse. We went for one lesson and ended up doing many more. Jesse is a fantastic mix of teacher, cheerleader and playmate. We were just out there having fun and Jesse made sure we got the best of it. There are lot's of surf shops on this beach but I doubt any of them are as good as this one. Thanks Big Kahuna & Jesse for making our holiday such a memorable one.
