What an awesome camp for the summer! I am so grateful we found this camp and that we live close enough to have this opportunity. My 7 year old son has done this camp twice and has an amazing time. He learned to surf and they sent photos at the end of the week. I'm looking forward to him doing another week or at least lessons/day drop in! read more

Today was our first day of surf camp. I'm just going to be very frank. This business has some strong points but also some serious problems and I hope they're soon addressed. Pros: ~ the instructors show a clear passion for surfing and it's contagious ~ the staff quite obviously loves being around children ~ my daughter learned a lot today; more than I expected Cons: ~ no sense of (or system in place for detecting) dangerous weather conditions. While my phone was alerting me of multiple lightning strikes within a 5 mile radius, these guys had no clue! I'm ok with them just being watchful for lightning beyond 10 miles. But 4.1 miles - come on Aloha. Nature doesn't work for you. ~ seriously unprofessional attire. Seriously, do a bunch of young children need to see your bare jiggly asses? One staff member was wearing a distasteful thong on the beach. Use some basic common sense and show a morsel or respect in a children's camp setting. Can't believe i even have to say this. ~ inconsistent supervision. One child floated way out on a board before he was noticed, some kids were burying an instructor, some were wandering around, some were playing in the water, and others were on boards. There was no real system for knowing who's where/with whom and if a child walked away or were taken, I suspect a long time would pass before it would be noticed. No wrist bands, no head counts, no accountability. This is a low-security camp. Not sure it's a good idea in 2019. ~ low instructor to camper ration = bullies can run rampant. There's always that one kid. And he's there now. Much bigger than the rest, singing inappropriate songs, dumping sand on kids' heads, dragging kids into the water that clearly don't want to be dragged, saying vile things. But he's mostly ignored and he just does whatever TF he wants. Maybe if you had more instructors for such large groups, you'd have a better handle on them. If these issues are addressed, i will be delighted to change my review. For now, it stands unfiltered. read more

I called in the morning and was catching waves in a private lesson that afternoon! I was lucky that Paul had an opening in his schedule for me because he is extremely patient and experienced. Keep in mind that as a 58-year-old, 225-pound woman I'm not a typical surfing student; however, Paul made me feel welcome, safe, and empowered! He knew that I was only in town for a short period, so he maximized my time by picking the best waves for me and getting me set for success. I learned a lot about how to get on the board, balance, steering, and exercises I can do at home before my next lessons. I'll personally need a longer board with more buoyancy for me to stand and concentrate my weight on a small footprint--Paul's boards are more suitable for surfers who weigh less. But I was able to ride about 15 waves before needing to rest. I could have caught more if I'd kept going. I'm inspired by my experience to get into better shape for my next lessons with Paul. Totally awesome dude! read more

Where do I begin???? Do Not send your kid to this camp. This is a "surf" camp for kids 6-12 held at Carlin Park for girls and boys. From 9 to 10:00 is "surf lessons" in the ocean. Break/snack time, then jump on water trampoline till 12. Then lunch till 1 and parent pick up. The surf lessons are laughable. Here's a surf board, jump on and paddle, then stand up. That's the lesson. On to the water trampoline where the next 1 1/2 hours are spent jumping and being pushed off the trampoline. This is the perfect formula for bullies to prove their worth. Supervision is very lax. Then the kids go to the park pavillions for lunch. And again, no supervision. Kids walking/running around while counselors are checking their phones, huddled together not paying attention to the campers. So if you have a boy/girl interested in learning how to surf, this is not a camp I can recommend. BUT if you have a girl/boy that you do not mind having them exposed to bare buttocks from the thong wearing female counselors and you don't care if they learn nothing about surfing, then this might fit your style. Seriously, 4 females counselors and all wore thong swimming suits everyday. When you arrived to bring your kid, they wore shorts, but as soon as the parents left, the shorts came off and the butt checks came out. Really! Very unprofessional and inappropriate for young campers. Save your money and investigate other surf camps that don't promote porn. read more

My 14 year old son Absolutely loves this camp. It's not just surfing. Paul (the owner) Has so many fun activities for the kids to do. They tube, kayak, water board, snorkel and have giant water trampolines. The instructors are fantastic. Definitely sending him back next year! Thanks Paul read more

My daughter just attended the Water Sports Camp last week. She only did one day because she has another summer camp she's in. She really enjoyed the camp, there was so much to do, and she would definitely go back. read more

The first time my daughter went to Aloha surf camp she broke her finger. I had paid for 2 days and had to wait two weeks to get my money back for the second day. No apologies, no explanation, nothing. Somehow, she convinced me to let her go back a year later with a group of friends. The kids were made to walk 2 miles on the side of a busy highway for lunch, even though they brought their own lunch. There was one camp counselor walking way ahead of the whole group, not watching any of them. They could have been hit by cars or snatched by anyone and the counselor could have done nothing to help them, because he wasn't watching them. Lesson learned not once but twice. My daughter will never be returning to this camp ever again!!! This camp is unsafe and you are putting your kids at risk by sending them to this camp! Parents, you have been warned!!! read more

I have taken a few surf lessons with Paul from Aloha Surfing School. He's a great instructor; he helped me refine my surfing technique and form. I was visiting the area and Paul helped me find the best spots to surf for my skill level. Hope to visit again soon, to get back out there with him. read more
