Also the paddle out and back in help was terrific, since it's a loooong paddle out. Super super fun experience! Thank you, Ty and team!

It was a pleasure working with Gene at used surfboards hawaii to sell my surfboard. The process of…read moreselling easy and the selling price was reasonable. I dropped off my board with Gene, and he gave me a selling price that I agreed with, I signed up and registered with his system, where after selling the surfboard, he would electronically wire the money to me. Within one week, Gene was able to sell the board and wire me the proceeds. The service was excellent, and the process was easy. Most importantly, I was living in a small apartment and did not have the space to store 2 long boards. This way I drop off my board to Gene, and I didn't have to store my boards while trying to sell it myself. Highly recommend.

We reached out via text, and Mickey responded promptly the same day. Although he was not available for our session, we had the opportunity to observe him teaching two children, likely around 8-9 years old, and were very impressed. Both kids were confidently riding their own surfboards, and Mickey filmed their entire session--creating what appeared to be incredible footage while still delivering an engaging and supportive lesson. Based on what we observed, he clearly provides a memorable and high-quality experience. We look forward to having our own children take lessons with him in the future.

I wanted my two kids to have semi private lessons but all the other schools required kids to be over 13 for semi private lessons. We texted back and forth a few times before we settled on a date and time that worked for everyone. It was a busy week since we were there Thanksgiving week. We paid via PayPal and met on Waikiki beach. He was a bit late since he had trouble finding parking. Mickey had the kids practice some moves on land and wax the boards before paddling out. 90 minutes for $100 each student plus $30 for videos. He paddled them forward with the waves and told them when to stand. The kids had a blast. The videos from his go pro were amazing! A totally rad experience that the kids will remember forever. Mickey was great with the kids. He is super friendly and sang a bunch of songs to them. We highly recommend him. Be sure your kid is comfortable in the water and knows how to swim well. You can find him right behind the famous Surfer statute on Waikiki beach with the colorful umbrella. Fun fact- he taught the k pop group Twice to surf and met Ronny Cheng and Simu. Super

Ohana Surf Project was the exception--they got back to me within an hour and were able to set up private 1:1 lessons for each of my kids the very next day! If you don't see availability online, definitely try calling--they are really accommodating. The whole experience itself was really organized. When we signed up, they collected shirt and shoe sizes - and when we arrived, rash guards and water shoes were already set out for the kids in a bin (you can also rent a wetsuit top for $10). After gearing up, they watched a short instructional video, then everyone hopped on a school bus to head to the beach. They take you away from the crowd to a more private area (which feels rare for Waikiki). It made the whole experience a lot more relaxed. Sean was an amazing instructor--super patient and great with the kids. Overall just a really smooth and fun experience. I highly recommend booking with them! Oh! We also prepaid to have photos taken. The kids had lessons on Wednesday afternoon and we received photos/videos the next day at 11am (about ~80 total between photos and videos).

They were a HUGE hit and everybody loves riding their Meeks sticks. No kidding. (Two more this June, Ron!) Ron Meeks knows Hawaiian waves and shapes boards for several big name pros. Kai Mana Henry, Tai Van Dyke, Dave Wassel, and Mark Healey to name a few. Ron is a total perfectionist and it shows in his precision shaping skills. A true master.

They have a variety of long and shortboards to choose from, with the option to switch out boards during your rental period. You can either store surfboards there at the shop, or take them back to your hotel, which I did. I borrowed a 9' torq board, and they gave me the option to take wheels along with me to help move the board from place to place. This was SUPER helpful and I'd really recommend it. They also gave us a bar of wax to use during the week! There was one incident where I surfed too close to a shallow reef and my fin came loose, I brought it back to the shop and they were able to fix it promptly.  Staff were also really knowledgeable about the surf spots in Waikiki and gave us tips on where to go based on our skill level. I'd gladly come here again!
