Amazing “1-on-1” Private Surf Lesson at Ukumehame Beach

Incredible three days of surfing with great people
My three days of solo lessons with Brian and Cody were amazing. I learned more in three days than I have in the past few years of surfing in California. Brian and Cody were great to be with and so wise in how they teach. The waves (and scenery) in West Maui were incredible. I highly recommend and will be back myself in a few months.

Surf Lesson for Family or Group in the North Shore of Oahu

From skiers to novice surfers
We are a skiing family of four that wanted to try surfing for the first time. Our instructor Josh was fantastic covering the basics of safety and making us feel comfortable in the water as we tried surfing for the first time on the north shore of Oahu. He took great care of each of us individually and provided excellent coaching and feedback in a positive way. I would definitely trust Josh and would recommend him all day long!

Amazing “1-on-1” Private Surf Lesson at Ukumehame Beach

Spectacular times at Ukumehame Beach!
An incredible experience! Brian coached my session and he is phenomenal. He taught me the basics quickly and got us out into the surf in no time! Each moment spent was directed at making sure I got the most out of my experience. He is a master of his craft, judging what waves are good, explaining positioning and form on the fly, while also making sure I wasn’t wearing myself out. Brian tailors the lesson to your fitness level flawlessly and keeps the vibe chill and relaxed no matter how big the waves are. Brian’s 30 years of experience is worth every penny and I will recommend this to anyone interested in surfing. 10/10 experience, you won’t find a better instructor. I hope this review helps!

Grateful Grandma and first time surfer
I am older woman and first time surfer. Booked for one hour private lesson with Kahu surfing School. The instructor, Mr. Jameson did a great job teaching me the basics and getting me safely riding a bunch of waves and I was able to stand up. I really appreciated how friendly and accommodating he was. Thanks Jameson and Kahu Surfing school for creating memory for me to share it with my grandkids. Eagerly waiting for the videos and pictures

Ali is great.
New York City
Surf Lesson In Waikiki- Female Instructor
harthanj, Jan 2026
Ali is great.
Ali is great. I was super nervous about looking stupid doing my first surf lesson as a 37yo guy from the Midwest that had never thought about surfing until I booked my trip to Hawaii. Ali reached out before my lesson and made me feel like even if I couldn't catch a few waves during my lesson that it wasn't a big deal... which made it so much easier to actually do well. Once I got to my lesson she was direct and to the point on what I should do, even to the point that she told me "no, do it again like I told you" on the shore and after about 10 minutes on land she said "okay lets get in the water". I would have never believed i would catch my first two waves(forget the third and forth that I messed up because I wasn't doing what Ali said I should) even when I had poor technique Ali was kind,direct, and positive. Out of 12 waves I attempt in my lesson I am pretty sure I caught 8 of them. Ali is amazing. Btw apparently she also does hiking/rock climbing tours and after my experience with my surf lesson, I would go anywhere with Ali... because I know she has my back!!!

Pedro was my girls instructor! He was so awesome! So patient and so good with my little ones! They loved every minute! The pics were worth it! They wanted to go back! FYI they give u rash guard shirts. However we should have bought something to cover my kids legs. They did get the surf board rash. Overalll great experience!

Beginner Group Surf Lesson on Maui South Shore
Shari_M, Jun 2025
Loved It!
First timer here. Pedro was the instructor. Group of 4. Pedro was very knowledgeable and patient. I got the basics I needed both in and out of the water. At one point, another instructor even helped Pedro to get me standing on the board. I definately need more practice. Rental on my own with Surf Club Maui would be $45. The hardest part was swimming back out to catch a wave, as it was tiring. I cant say enough about how pleased I am with this whole operation. They provided everything I needed for the lesson. All 4 Surf Club Maui people I encountered were happy doing their jobs and I didnt feel like just another tourist. Btw, the photographer captured a great shot of me.

Amazing First Surfing Experience with Moki!

Waikiki 2 Hours Private Guided Surf Lesson

Amazing First Surfing Experience with Moki!
My wife and I had an incredible first-time surfing experience thanks to our instructor, Moki. From the moment we hit the beach, Moki was supportive, energetic, respectful, and incredibly kind. He made sure that no matter what, we were able to get up and ride a wave—something we didn’t think would happen on our first try!Moki stayed by our side the entire session, pulling us out to the waves, checking in constantly for safety, and giving us clear, motivating guidance. With his help, both of us were able to stand up and catch waves multiple times, which made the whole experience unforgettable.Although our session started about 45 minutes later than originally scheduled, we quickly realized it was because Moki wanted us to have the best conditions possible—and he absolutely delivered. The wait was 100% worth it for the value and experience we received.We truly got our money’s worth and then some. We can’t recommend this surf school enough for first-time surfers. Ask for Moki—you won’t regret it!

Best Surf Experience!!!
I have taken two lessons from Magic Aloha and both were pop outs of my trips to Oahu. I had taken group lessons before which were fine, but this was personalized help from an expert. By the end, I was able to catch and ride a wave on my own. Surfing during sunrise at Waikiki is an experience I will never forget. Mahalo!

BEST surfschool in Maui.
If you’re going to surf Maui, you should definitely choose Zack Howards surf. Zack’s wife Sarah was our surf instructor. Completely fantastic woman with a lot of patience for us two new surfers. She was so good at telling us what to do and good at finding the right wave. If you could give 6 stars on Cool Hawaii I would have done this.

Chance was great super patient and gave awesome tips! The beach he chose was great for beginners and wasn’t very crowded at all. I would recommend scheduling an earlier time in the day though and blocking out your whole day for it because it was a ton of fun!
