Semi-Private Surf Lesson for 2 or 3 people on Waikiki Beach

Posted By : ljrevay
The surf lessons were so fun. It was our first time out and we actually stood up! They could not have been nicer or more supportive.

The entire staff was great from start to finish. Paul and Sione (our surf instructors), were fantastic and patient and made the experience that much better. I would recommend Big Wave Dave at Surf and Coffee to anyone who's looking to learn to surf. I would also recommend the semi-private if you have 4 people in your group.
Thank you, Team! Top Shelf service!

Nick did a fantastic job teaching us and we caught our very first waves. The booking process was easy, Nick was awesome and we had a blast!

This was just right for my 14 year old son. He has surfed before up in ME, but it had been a couple of years since he was last on a board. Quick lesson on the sand and then he was out in the water. Not sure if the beach where they went (front of Sheraton) is always this calm, and to catch any waves, they were out a couple of hundred yards …. So photographing from the beach was not ideal. My son really liked Lee and felt comfortable with him. I felt comfortable sending my son out with him. They encouraged people to buy reef shoes….no rentals, although they do rent rashers. In any case, it is an additional $25. Worth it? Not really sure, but certainly no complaints about foot abrasions from my son, so I guess so 😀.

I did notice in the reviews that people complained about the number in a group lesson. If this is one of your first times, I recommend either a private or semi private with no more than three total. You will get way more out of that lesson than in a few group lessons.

We had a great experience with the instructors. They were super fun and attentive. But we were in a pretty big group of 8 people when we had purchased semi-private lessons. It turned out to be OK.

This was my first surfing lesson. Paul was an absolutely great teacher. He adjusted the instruction to level of my ability, allowing me to progress to semi-standing on the surf board at conclusion of first lesson.

Not only was Paul an excellent instructor, he was also a fine ambassador for Oahu and surfing culture in general.

If you are up for surfing lessons and willing to take your chances on the vagaries of catching a wave, then you should definitely add Big Wave Dave Surf Co to your "must-do activities" list for your next trip to Honolulu.

This was everything I was hoping for! Chris and Lee were the instructors for our family of four (children ages 11 and 12). They set us up at the shop and then carried our boards to the beach. The lesson on the beach was quick and efficient. They were so positive and encouraging and it filled my heart as I saw the confidence build in my children. I have a bad knee and Chris even tricked me into riding a wave - I did it!!! All four of us got up and it was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Chris and Lee!

We booked this company and the Surf lessons for my 2 girls. We did last minute but They send 2 people to teach girls. The instructor Novi was very good, professional. Girls had a blast. Def recommend this. If I was not leaving that day, I would have had another lesson from Novi and his colleague. Excellent service.
