We did have fun but we did leave with torn up feet from the underwater rocks and a torn bathing suit. In their what to expect email I wished they would have told us to bring water shoes. Three of four of us have cuts on our feet. The other part I did not like was that there was another group going 5-10 feet from us and in the same waves. This resulted in sever minor collisions of the boards and one less minor collision resulting in the neighboring fin tearing through my swim suit bottom when the other beginning surfer fell off of his board. To solve this they could have went every other wave or stood farther apart than the 5-10 feet they were.

Had the best time taking surf lessons with Rick. He was patient and kind. I had so much fun and am super happy that my first experience surfing was through this company. Highly recommend!

We rented 2 boards for an hour, stayed in the water for 20 minutes and when we came back he refused to refund any money or let us use them the next day. He talked down to us about our ability, and said to get a lesson (which we had done just the day before). Do not recommend!!

LOVED this surf school. The instructors are awesome. The location is perfect and right on the beach. Everyone is so nice. Sparky is the BEST! They teach a great technique for beginners. I felt safe the entire time. Will absolutely go back in the future.

I have wanted to surf for quite a long time now and was really happy with my experience at Kauai Surf School. The location is very convenient and easy to get to. I expected we'd be with at least a small group, but my wife and I were just paired up with one other couple and it was great. We quickly learned the basics with our instructor and then headed out to the ocean. We were assisted by our instructor with getting into the right waves and it was a lot of fun. It takes a lot of paddling and effort to get back out, so be prepared for that. Next time, I will definitely be renting a board for after the lesson time to get some more reps and practice!

Jay was a wonderful instructor and put me at ease right away. I was very comfortable floating around, but to be honest, surfing was hard for me. I am 62 and I did not anticipate how much work your shoulders do. My son and daughter in law stood up several times and had a blast. I retired to the beach and watched them, which was enjoyable too. I would highly recommend this activity and this place to anyone wanting to try surfing.

Did the lesson with my retired age father. It was great! Other groups were their training, but that wasn’t a big deal at all. Jay was our instructor, he was fantastic.

Had a great experience with Kauai Surf School. Booked a beginner lesson for myself and 2 of my kids. Lessons were 90 minutes long including about 15-20 minutes of on land instruction. Rick was very helpful and patient. Offered good feedback on how to position your body and head when trying to get up. We had the basics to go try out on our own post the lesson. Only negative is that there are multiple surf schools in the area we practiced, which sometimes clogged up lanes when a wave would come. Thus not allowing us to go as much as we could have.

ALSO DOES BEACH RENTALS! They aren’t listed in maps as doing this, but they have chair, surfboard, umbrella, snorkels, etc. You can rent everything but the surfboards by the week for $30, or $10 for a day. Surfboards are $10/hour. We originally only took out one board, but went back about 20 min later and got a second one. Owner was very friendly, let us restart the first board’s timer to align with the second board, and let us keep our surfboards for longer than the hour.Note: I was here in November, I’m just catching up on posting my reviews now

My wife and I did this on our last morning of our honeymoon and sure glad we did! We enjoyed it a lot and were able to catch some waves. We did our class on Monday at 8AM which was nice because not many people were in the water at that time.

The Kauai Surf School was exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to learn to surf and I did not want a place that just got me to ride a wave for a single picture in my vacation album. It was immediately clear that a few of the other surf school were just getting people that one photo.In my lesson I was able to ride several waves, but more importantly they taught me how to pop up, wave timing, how to speed up and down, as well as other important things like how to fall properly.After my lesson I came back two times to just rent the surf board and because I chose Kauai Surf School I could catch waves on my own!Prior to my lesson I had some questions about equipment and how to store personal items while surfing and the Kauai Surf School was so quick to respond with helpful information. Everyone from the surf instructors to the staff running the rentals were so helpful and friendly.If you want an authentic surf experience I could not recommend Kauai Surf School more!

90 minute group lessons booked. Was great. As a complete beginner, I even stood a few waves. I would definitely book again.

My 3 kids (12, 15, and 17 years old) had a group lesson over spring break. It was a great experience for all of them. Their instructor put them all at ease (including my 12 year old daughter who was very nervous to try surfing and was the only girl in both groups). He gave them good instructions on land before taking them out in the water. This was one of my kids’ favorite things they got to experience while in Hawaii!
