Had a fun time and learned a lot with Charlie! He was patient funny and encouraging. It was really great to have a one on one lesson. So you know…he had a beach umbrella where you can leave your stuff and sit and relax after your lesson. Definitely bring some water you will need it afterwards! Highly recommend…I am 55 and was able to stand pretty quickly.

Bucket List- Learn to Surf

Bucket List- Learn to Surf
My experience was so EPIC. I have dreamt of learning how to surf for the longest. My instructor Jack was AMAZING. He was attentive, funny, and provided feedback.Learning how to surf is definitely tiring- a full body work out, and requires good balance- helps if you have a strong core.I was given a vest to wear over my bathing top and water shoes. If you have the option for the tights- I’d take it. Getting on and off the board can be a lot on your legs if exposed - it’s what you’re comfortable with.Definitely stretch and open your hips before going - it would help a lot.I wish we had more time- it was so much fun!! I can’t wait to see what the videos look like. Thank you so much for this memorable experience.

First Wave. Biggest Smile. Core Memory.

First Wave. Biggest Smile. Core Memory.
Max was the epitome of “surf is life.” From start to finish, he was professional, patient, passionate, and genuinely invested in making the experience special. Most importantly, he was amazing with my 6-year-old daughter, Paisley. He knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable, encouraged her every step of the way, and turned her first surfing experience into something she’ll never forget. This ended up being one of the best memories of our daddy-daughter trip, and Max deserves a huge amount of credit for that. We came for a surf lesson and left with an experience we’ll talk about for years. P.S. — Do yourself a favor and add the drone video with his partner OG. The footage is absolutely incredible and captured moments we otherwise never would have had. Totally worth it! Thank you, Max and OG, for an unforgettable experience!

The best family surfing experience
My family and I had the best morning surfing with Jake! Both my 6 year old and 1 year old loved it and felt comfortable surfing with Jake. I also borrowed a board so I could get out and watch them catch waves. Jake then helped me to feel confident catching some waves with both my children on the board and we all had so much fun! Thank you Jake!

Private lesson
The lesson with Jake was awesome. He corrected a lot of things I was doing wrong before I met him, and all his tips were helpful for getting on the board—something I used to struggle to do consistently. He’s super knowledgeable and very safety-conscious; I was really happy and satisfied!!

We had the best experience! We booked a semi private lesson for 3 first time young adult surfers (17-25). Same day booking was easy and accommodating. Kala was great with communication and where to meet up. Our instructor Aton made our experience fantastic! He helped us catch the waves and we were up on the first wave! Not only helpful with surfing, but with all local questions and recommendations of the island. Our favorite of all the experiences we did! Highly recommend!

Another great session with Ty Gurney Surf School!
Another great session with Ty Gurney Surf School!I had a two-hour lesson on August 8 with Aiden, and this was another step forward in getting back into surfing.The ocean was pretty placid that morning, so there wasn’t a ton to work with, but Aiden made the most of what we had. He paddled up from his previous lesson right before our start time, introduced himself, and we headed straight out. One of the first things he did was ask what I wanted to work on. He listened, addressed exactly those areas, and did a great job explaining what I could change and why.We worked on my paddling, positioning, and catching waves on my own 9’6” board. I caught some waves and whitewater, got to my feet, and kept working even when the ocean wasn’t giving us much. Toward the end I was still hoping we’d get one more good wave—which probably says everything about how much fun I was having.This was also the first time I’ve done the full two-hour lesson with Ty Gurney. My first lesson, back in June, was on one of their big 12-foot boards with a lot of assistance. Since then I’ve gotten my own board and have been learning how to do more and more for myself. It’s harder, but it’s also much more rewarding.Aiden was patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and gave me tips I can actually take with me when I’m surfing on my own.And as I was getting started, the previous group was coming back in from better conditions earlier that morning. The smiles on their faces said plenty about their experience too.Another great morning in the water. I’m really enjoying the progression and will absolutely keep coming back to Ty Gurney Surf School.Mahalo, Aiden! Can’t wait for the next one. 🤙🌊
