Renters beware! We rented a beach umbrella for $10 a day. Seemed like a great deal! Well .. the…read morenext day our umbrella blew out and was unusable. When we took it back we were told that we " should have known " the correct way to face the umbrella to avoid the blow out! No one briefed us on this but we were charged $35 because we broke the umbrella and should have known how to face it. Multiple people on the beach had the same issue! Seems like a shady business practice. I opted to take the "broken" umbrella since I already paid for it... on top of the $10 rental fee. Nowhere on the contract did it say I was responsible for incorrect placement of the umbrella. Honestly I'd rather leave it for the owner of our condo because the base is better than the one supplied by the condo. Seemed like a money grab from tourists. So be wary.

I did the lesson with my 11-year-old son,…read moreand he loved it so much that he asked to book another session for the very next day, which we ended up doing. We had lessons with Adam and Austin, and both were excellent instructors. They watched what we were doing closely and gave really helpful, specific tips after each attempt to point out what we were doing wrong and how to fix it. Their feedback made a big difference and helped us improve quickly. They were also very thoughtful with my son. On both days, the instructors carried his surfboard down to the beach for him, which made things much easier and showed how attentive they were. Another thing that stood out was that they provided both rash guards and booties. From what I saw when looking at other companies, many seemed to provide rash guards but not booties, so that was a nice extra that made the experience more comfortable in the water. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for surfing lessons.

We were recommended by Marriot Bonvoy to give these folks a shot, and they did not disappoint. My son was set up with a really nice group of kids his own age, they provided him with surf shoes and a really nice 8' soft top longboard. Half of the class was spent learning the equipment, safety tips, and basic etiquette. The second half was showing them how to stand up and ride waves on the first day. My kid is now a confident longboarder. Dad and Junior both had an absolute blast. 5 stars. Would definitely use this company again!

Jeff had a foil board for me and surfboard and boogie board for my kids to have fun too. We went up the river with me foiling at times and falling many. We stopped at Fern Grotto and had a spectacular view with just us. I did some more foiling heading back down the river and with some good pointers from Jeff, managed a couple really good foil runs. We then got my daughter behind the boat on a boogie board and she had a blast. Overall it was a great time and gave me some really good experience. Jeff is super knowledgeable and made sure I was on the correct foil equipment to match my weight and skill.

This surf school is run by professional surfer Chava Greenlee and his big personality comes through…read moreall aspects of the school. Chava goes out of his way to make his surf lessons better than the rest. First, the technique that he uses is clearly well-thought out and effective for beginners. Second, he and his instructors are there for the students (not to surf between students's waves). He provides water shoes for each student. Finally, his lessons on Poipu Beach are at a great break that is very good for beginners to learn. While on Kauai I noticed other surf schools doing all of these wrong, but not Aloha Surf Lessons. If you take your lesson early in your stay, be sure to come back and rent a board from Aloha and practice. Chava and the other instructors will continue to give you advice and feedback when they're in the water.
