5 Star Review By Terence Withespoon

We made reservations for a one-on-one surf lesson for our daughter, Sovay, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Sophie picked us up from our hotel right on time and greeted us with a warm, friendly smile. When we arrived at the shop, Celeste and Jake were absolutely amazing. They answered all of our questions and made us feel comfortable and welcome from the start. After watching the training videos, we took the bus to the beach and were ready for the adventure. Sovay’s instructor, Mark, was fantastic. I truly can’t say enough good things about him. He was patient, encouraging, knowledgeable, and made sure Sovay felt confident in the water. Within just a few minutes of instruction, she was surfing! Mark stayed with her the entire time, and whenever he wasn’t right beside her, another staff member was there to help and encourage her. A special thank you to Sophie, Asanna, Matt, Calvin, Mark, Celeste, and Jake for making this such a wonderful and memorable experience for our daughter. Seeing Sovay out on the waves and having so much fun is a memory our family will cherish forever. Thank you again to everyone who works there for your professionalism, kindness, and dedication. You helped make our first surfing experience in Hawaii absolutely unforgettable. We highly recommend you to anyone looking to learn how to surf! ??????

5 Star Review By Thomas Meyer

We signed our two boys (9 and 7) up for surf lessons with Pete and Luke, and the whole morning was perfect. Both instructors were patient, encouraging, and seriously focused on safety, which immediately put us at ease, and on top of that they were a ton of fun. Our kids adored them. The part that amazed us was how quickly the boys were actually standing up and surfing. Pete and Luke really know how to teach kids, and both of mine were riding waves with huge smiles almost right away. They had the time of their lives. Make sure you spring for the photo/video package. It is absolutely worth the value, and we came home with footage of the boys catching their very first waves that we will treasure for years. Zero complaints. We recommend Ohana Surf Project 100%, and if you can ask for Pete and Luke, do it. Mahalo to the entire team for a morning we won't forget!
