Husband had never surfed and it was on his bucket list to ride the Hawai’i waves. Joey was a great instructor and had hubby surfing by the end of the hour with pictures to prove it. It was his favorite part of our trip and he’s now hooked and in search of his first board. We highly recommend this excursion. Thanks, Joey!

Great lesson even though we are Medicare age (be in shape for paddling). Chase was our guy. I need to use at least 100 characters so this is an extension for that!

What I really liked about Stoke Drift compared with many of the other surf lessons on Waikiki was that it was 1-on-1 instruction. #Justice was my surf instructor and he was awesome—very knowledgeable and encouraging, and he helped me get up on my first wave the very first time surfing!

Look no further, his is the place you want to go for your surfing lessons!
Can’t say enough good things about Cody and Stoke Drift. First of all, the location is perfect - pretty much halfway between the Royal Hawaiian and Hilton Hawaiian Village - just down the breezeway from the beach, under the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort. Second and most important, Cody and the staff at Stoke Drift were phenomenal. They made us, and our son feel like VIPs. My son did a private lesson with Cody and hasn’t stopped talking about how much fun he had. We bought the picture package and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to capture awesome memories. We’ve done lessons with other shops in town, but will never go to another place now that we found Stoke Drift. See you next time!

Excellent location on Waikiki, definitely adds to any photos or videos of your surfing experience. Staff are friendly, experienced and talented teachers and surfers. Tonya was my coach and she got me out into the ocean and pushed me into plenty of good waves. Took me a few tries but stood up on my 4th good wave and ended up riding two of them. It was really a highlight of all my visits to the islands. Even had a sea turtle swim up near us.

I did a private lesson with Taylor. She was amazing!!! & she really helped me with my technique. She was very kind, patient & knowledgeable.
I felt safe in the water. & by my 2nd wave I stood up!!! There was even a photographer there to capture the moments. I had such a beautiful experience surfing the waves of Waikiki. I DEFINITELY recommend stoke drift for lessons.

I’ve never had a surf lesson before and this was brilliant. My wife was offered an umbrella and lounge whilst I had my lesson. Lockers and equipment were provided as well as an attentive service. Taylor my coach was exceptional. Clear instructions and feedback that helped me stand and surf within 25 minutes. Must do when in Waikiki. It was a memorable experience.
