I ordered group lesson staring at 10:00am with picking me up at 9:30am.
But I was picked up around 10:20am. I was waiting for almost 1hour. I don't why but I had a private lesson. Maybe he was late. It was good for me. And instructor was amazing buy. He was friendly and kind. And SUP was fun.
If he wasn't late, I would feel great at him. But I couldn't do my plan after that. I wasted time about 1hour. It's important thing. I'm sorry only about that.

Neither of us had been paddle boarding before, but by the end of the lesson we were both standing. The safety briefing and instruction was tailored to us and our level of experience which was none. Both Mike and Michelle(hope that's right) were fantastic, just the right amount of cajoling to get us on our feet without any pressure. Talked about every topic known to man as we paddled about, had a great time and a great laugh too. I can highly recommend these guys and the company too as I later booked a surf lesson for the end of the week, which also rocked.
Aloha Ed and Helen!
So glad to hear you had a good time, Mike and I had a blast SUPing with you both! Let us know if you ever get to come back to Oahu and we will set ya up!
Mahalo!

41歳にして初めてのサーフィン! できるかどうかとても不安でした。
インストラクターの方も外人で、ピックアップ後すぐに英語が話せるかどうかを聞かれ余計不安に・・・
砂浜で説明を受けるのも全部英語・・・本当に大丈夫か?!と正直思いました。
でも「習うより慣れろ」と思いボードを持って海へ。初心者でものれそうないい波がくると教えてもらえて、私は3回ぐらいでなんとかボードの上に立つことができました。
インストラクターの方は本当にかんたんな日本語しか喋れなかったです。「漕いで!」とか「大丈夫?」とか。でも知ってる日本語やジェスチャーを使ってなんとか伝えようと努力してくださいました。また潮の流れのせいか私が他のツアー客の方とはぐれたときなどはすぐ駆けつけてくださったり、途中私が疲れてると思ったのか「休憩(する)?」と声をかけてくださったり、日本語が通じないながらも気遣いが感じられる対応でした。
私は女性を希望しなかったので、インストラクターは男女の2名でした。(ツアー客は私を含め5人でした)
英語に拒絶反応を示す方には厳しいかもしれません。
でもインストラクターの方は気さくで楽しい人たちでしたし、サーフィンそのものも楽しむことができ、私としてはとても満足のいく内容でした。

サーフレッスンを予約しましたが予定の時間になってもピックアップされず、電話で確認したところ、予約が翌日になってるとのこと。バウチャーを見ても日時は間違っておらず、翌日も予定もあったのでその旨伝えると何とか迎えに来てくれるとのこと。何だかんだ予定の1時間遅れでピックアップされレッスンを受けることが出来ました。レッスンも皆さんが終わった後も遅れた時間分やって頂けました。
留学経験がある娘だったので英語での電話問い合わせもスムーズに出来ましたが、そうでないとちょっと不安になると思いました。

I expected a stand up paddle board group lesson but ended up with a solo surf lesson and had a great time. Chris was a good instructor and got me out into the water and riding the waves in hardly any time at all. He was also close by and attentive to my safety and form. It was great fun and I plan on doing it again the next time I'm in Hawaii....
Aloha Amy! We're so glad you loved the surfing solo mission :) We can't wait til you're back in the water surfing again.

We had heard really great things about Girls Who Surf so had picked them for our very first surf lesson. One downside is that apparently it is impossible to actually get a female instructor which makes you wonder about the name of the group. Our instructor was Warren and he did a good job of explaining what all to do and then took us into the water. I was horrible at it and opted to sit out and let my husband finish the course instead and he actually ended up doing rather well. They took photos for us and since we were such bad surfers and there were so few photos they gave us a discount on the photo package. Both Warren and the photographer were really nice. Only possible negative of the outing is that even though we had provided height/weight info ahead of time they did not bring a board big enough for my husband and had to go get another board which delayed the start of our lesson. Wasn't a big problem since the weather was nice and we basically just sat on the beach waiting.

I had a stand up paddle board lesson with Alison on 5/31. She brought along the correct sized board for me, something the rental places at Waikiki did not, and we had a great time. After a couple of minutes of getting used to the balance, I was off and running....err...paddling that is. It was a beautiful day, before and after the rain squall, and we saw numerous sea turtles swimming by us. Alison was fun, friendly, and easy to talk to and was an excellent instructor. I had the lesson my first day in Hawaii and it was so much fun, I did it every day I was there.
The second day I had a regular surfing lession with (Mollie, Matty? something like that, I forget now. But it was great fun also, I caught a few nice waves and she was really helpful....another great instructor. The learning curve for surfing is quite a bit higher than SUP, but I enjoyed it so much I'm taking another surfing lession this Sunday in cold water (wet suit) here in Washington state.

My two hours with Mito were such a highlight of my time on Oahu I am telling lots of people who are going to the islands that this is a "must do" activity. We had so much fun together and I actually was able to stand, sort of. I have balance problems and thought this was something I would try and enjoy, no expectation of success. I am still not the best in the balance arena, but I did stand on two feet without hands--an accomplishment for me and a credit to Mito's skill as a teacher.

Thank you so much for my surfing experience! Four days was definitely not enough for me and I miss it already. You all were so kind and helpful. This was, by far, the best surfing experience I've had in all my attempts to learn. Because of that, I'm planning on picking up some classes out here in California once the weather gets better. So hopefully by the time I return next year, I'll be on a much smaller board =). You guys are awesome!

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.

Learning to surf must be on just about everyone's 'must-do' list when they come to Hawaii. It was on mine because my Dad surfed in California while he was with the Marines.
I rented a board in Waikiki and went out on my own. Paddling is great exercise but I wasn't even able to stand up. I found an ad for Girls Who Surf in the Army MWR magazine and called them. At my first lesson, I was able to stand up and ride on a half dozen waves!
I went for another seven lessons over the next five months progressing from using a 12-foot board to being able to surf with a 7-foot board. I wanted to progress fast and the instructors at Girls Who Surf gave me the skills to do it.
Through Girls Who Surf, I gained confidence, strength endurance in my upper body and have improved my balance skills. My first lesson wore me out paddling for waves. Eight months later, I was able to paddle a mile to a surf-break then surf for an hour-and-a-half and still had energy to spare
