My son had a great lesson yesterday morning and Jamie (owner) and Justin were engaging, safe, and taught a real excitement for surfing!

My husband and daughter signed up for group lessons. Weather was less than agreeable but the instructor prioritized safety and everyone had several chances to catch a wave. My husband has done lessons before and felt the instructions were much clearer with this surf school than prior lessons. My daughter was surfing off the first wave! Great place for beginner lessons! read more

Super personalized lessons, great for kids and the whole family. Don't hesitate to pick endless summer for your surf lessons!

I would very much recommend Endless Summer Surf School. My 20-year old grandson got up on his first attempt after instruction and absolutely loved it (even though the weather got dicey). My only hope is for taller instructors so they can start surfers further out and give them a longer ride! read more

Great experience. Great team, friendly and patient. Had a 16 yo and 13 yo m. Fun times, and both rode some waves!

Great instruction! Justin was our instructor, gave a very thorough "land lesson," followed by lots of good tips and feedback once in the water. We lucked out and essentially scored what ended up as a semi-private lesson for the price of a group lesson, due to the simple fact that no one else signed up for that time slot. It was my first time surfing and was able to get up and cruise after a few failed attempts and some quality pointers from our instructor. Big shout out to Justin for keeping a vigilante eye, and pointing out our errors to help us improve. We could tell he really enjoys surfing and wanted us to "get it" rather than just collect a check. We appreciated all the tips both on and off the water, (including hitting the poke bowls at the neighboring market,) and made sure to leave him one that reflected our appreciation as well! Which I suggest all people do when receiving quality instruction from Endless summer. All in all we give this spot, and Justin... 10/10! Mahalo Ben & Shelby. read more

Jamie was amazing! Our 10 and 12 year olds had never surfed before and looked like pro's by the end of the lesson! read more

Jamie and Justin were awesome! Justin was super great with on land instructions and teachings to get us prepared for the water. He did a great job with us in the water getting us up and getting us confident and comfortable! Would highly recommend! read more

My first time surfing at age 60 and I was able to ride several waves all the way to shore. Great experience with these guys and really fun! I would recommend for all ages! read more

Justin was amazing with our 15 year old. The school does a phenomenal job of preparing you for what to expect, how to handle the board and waves and gives really specific guidance. As a result she got up on her first wave and it really helped build her confidence. She now loves surfing. read more

Was able to surf with my husband, it had been over a decade for us both! We did a semi-private surf lesson. Our instructor was great, very calm and cool, easy to talk to and got us out in the water after our quick pre lesson. Can't control weather and waves, and would've loved more time to catch a few more, but can't complain! Shout out to Tony, I think it was, feel bad I can't remember, but when I do I'll be sure to edit this and correct the name if need be. We went out October 1st, 3pm! Mahalo! read more

We loved our surf lessons! We did a group lesson with 4 adults and 3 kids, ages 11 & 13 and all had a blast. We booked my 8 year old son a few days later for a private lesson. He did great and really enjoyed it too. The instructors were all great and we would definitely recommend Endless Summer Surf School. read more

Jamie is a very knowledgeable instructor and gave really clear instructions for our three kids (ages 9, 13 and 15). He taught them form at the shop so when they hit the water they were able to understand his instruction. We went during high season and there were a lot of other surfers on the beach but it didn't seem to slow down the surfing. All three kids were up and surfing by the end of the 1.5 hour lesson and had a great time. We would do it again! read more

My daughter took a private lesson and really enjoyed it. Easy to find and great instructor. Would highly recommend.

I had a private lesson with them back in November of last year and it was epic! I reached out before the lesson to describe what I was looking for, and they were super communicative accurately assessing my skill level and determining a plan for the appropriate spot, board, and instruction. I'm a novice surfer looking to improve and they dialed in a perfect plan. The day of, Coordination and meet up was super smooth and convenient. Within 15 minutes we were in the water at the perfect spot for my skill level. Alika my instructor was expert at explaining things in an easily understandable way, from the paddle out through the key hole, to positioning, reading waves at that spot, all through catching the wave. I surfed some of the best waves of my life, and it felt like a session with a friend, even though I was learning so much as Alika was super willing to share knowledge about the spot, other spots around that might work for my novice skills, surf scene in Kauai, and whatever questions I had about technique. Nothing felt rushed, and Alika took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly and explain how he was reading waves based on decades of experience. And made sure to guide me into plenty of waves of course. Before we took one in, he also made sure I felt confident in surfing the spot solo so i had a go to for the remainder of the trip. After the session, we chatted for a few minutes about Kauai surfing and he shared some great stories about legendary pros. Through and through a fantastic experience, well worth it. I know there's a lot of surf schools in Kauai, but can't imagine one being better than Endless Summer. read more

Justin was a patient and very detailed teacher. He slowed everything down on the dry session so you really understood the mechanics. Everyone in our group caught their first wave and rode it to the beach. He was very careful about wave selection. Experience counts. read more

The fellas at Endless Summer really made our 10 year old daughter feel comfortable and she was riding waves on the 2nd try. She was the only kid in a group of adults but she probably rode more waves than the adults (!) and the instructors were all about it, they were patient and supportive with her throughout. I highly recommend Endless Summer! Jamie was one of the instructors (my daughter called him Hawaiian Ken ) and I forget the other gentleman's name but he said he was a arborist by trade and lived in Cali awhile before returning back to Kauai where he grew up as a kid. Mahalo Endless Summer! read more

Great lesson. learned a lot and i got to hit a couple of surfs. the guys were very supportive and knowledgeable of the area and water.

All these reviews are no joke. Alika and Jaime are absolutely awesome. My 7 yr old daughter was up and riding waves from the start. They both are so fun and supportive. She went from being so nervous before to having the best time. For the rest of the trip, every time we drove by the shop, we heard from the kids - 'Can we stop by and say hi to the guys?'. Even hung out and gave us recommendations of things to see and eat on the island. Would definitely recommend to anyone! read more

The instructors were very patient and helped my two boys learn to love surfing. Both boys already want to go back into the water for more waves. Thank you guys! read more

Alika was an excellent teacher and had my daughter riding waves in no time. There's a reason why Endless Summer is 5 stars. She can't wait to go again! read more

What an unforgettable experience. I had such an inherent fear of surfing but Jamie explained each and every step. The land lesson was crucial and putting together all the steps on land prior helped the transition to sea. I cannot wait to do another lesson and have my entire family experience surfing. Thank you so much Jamie. read more

The guys were patient and professional when teaching my two beginner surfers. They were up and riding waves by the end of the lesson. I couldn't have asked for better first experience for my kids. We are already planning another Endless Summer lesson on our next trip to Kauai read more

Out of the several surf schools throughout Kauai, I decided to book with Endless Summer Surf after reading such positive reviews. My group agreed this was about the best decision I made this trip LOL Hands down BEST activity we did in Kauai - definitely recommend booking with Endless Summer Surf! Jaimie and Alika were great instructors, we had a timely start and learned the basics on land, behind their storefront where they set up a nice shaded cabana-ish area. We then went to a small beach in the Poipu area to surf on water. I was super nervous about the overall experience since many others told me that surfing can be unenjoyable given how unlikely you'll stay on top of the board .. but Jaimie was calm and helpful throughout the entire time for our group. He didn't info overload, and EVERYONE in my group was standing tall on their boards! Jaimie and Alika go into the water with you, and help you push off and ride the waves ~ If you're curious about surfing for the first time in Kauai, highly recommend booking thru Endless Summer! read more

Jamie is 100% the best. Hilarious and animated, but also calm and methodical in his teaching. I was up surfing my very first try in the water (and the rest of the lesson too), and I take very little credit for it - Jamie is an excellent teacher with a wealth of surfing and island knowledge. I highly recommend a private lesson, it is absolutely worth it to have the lesson progress at your own speed. I really wouldn't go anywhere else on the island but here! read more

Endless Summer Surf School Kauai - After a private surf lesson, great time! - Surf Schools Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

Awesome group class. Jamie and Alika are really straightforward and very good teachers. We saw people in our class that have never surfed before standing on their boards and catching small waves with their help. Learned a lot and we are really appreciative of their teaching. read more

Awesome experience and really great surf lesson. Thanks so much will definitely be coming back.

I booked a semi private lesson for my husband and my 13 year old son as a fun surprise while we were in Kauai. They had a BLAST and were consistently standing and riding the (albeit tiny) waves very quickly. Their instructor was Justin and he was really friendly, a clear communicator and very encouraging. My son was all smiles and excited to take another surfing lesson soon. They both said that it was definitely an experience they will never forget. read more

This was an adventure that I was not so sure I would enjoy. I booked it more for the teen boys. How could you not - Kaua'i, warm water, sun? BUT, I was completely and totally WRONG! I enjoyed this so much. Our instructor, Alika (Sorry for misspelling) was phenomenal. I had a hard time standing up on the board so he modified it for me and I nailed it. Of course the boys and my husband did very well. We received through instructions. Whatever you do - DON'T LOOK DOWN. Number 1 reason people fall. Ohhh, you'll fall but you'll get back on that board and swim back out to do it all over again. Our family highly recommends this school!! You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much for an amazing afternoon in the water!!! read more

Jamie and Alika were amazing. Super fun morning with them and caught a lot of good waves. They did a great job teaching us the basics and helping multiple of us catch one for the very time. Would highly recommend. read more

Excellence. Kind instructor (owner's bestie). Family/locally owned. I highly suggest. I surfed and it was rad. :) read more

Awesome service, the two guys running it are great! Really good lessons. My 4 kids really enjoyed and were able to catch some waves with confidence! Highly recommend for lessons. Great location too. read more

Jamie and Alika have a great thing going here! They are both very knowledgeable, are amazing teachers, and make sure everyone is staying safe. My husband and I had so much fun surfing this morning and will definitely come back whenever we return to the island! read more

We come back here every year for surf lessons. Great surf spot. Jamie and team are great!

As first time surfers, we had lots of fun! These folks have figured out the progression to get people up on their boards. Justin was our instructor and did an awesome job, thanks for the pushes! read more

My husband and I had the best time with Endless Summer Surf School. We went for a semi-private lesson and Keola was an incredible teacher. The land lesson he provided beforehand was far more detailed than other surf lessons I've taken and was super helpful once we were in the water. We also got incredibly lucky with timing - we got started just as other classes were ending so we had the water to ourselves! Keola did a great job of getting us on waves and would correct our form with each wave we caught -- I wasn't expecting to catch so many, I was starting to feel like a bona fide surfer! I would highly recommend Keola and Endless Summer Surf School to anyone looking for an amazing experience. read more

Jamie was a fabulous surf instructor! My two sons and I all thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and felt like we got the basics down for our first time on a surf board. Thanks for the great lesson! read more

My husband and I did two lessons with them while we were on Kauai for our honeymoon. Jamie and Justin are amazing, their way of teaching is phenomenal, easy to understand without leaving out details. And we just had lots of fun learning to ride waves. Both of us were able to stand up on waves in the first lesson. If you're on the south shore, then that's the place to go and learn how to surf! read more

My family and I had a great experience with Jamie and Alika with Endless Summer. None of us had ever surfed before. Jamie gave us a really structured lesson at the shop to start the day. He gave each us very specific pointers to get a foundation for what to do to get up on the board. Once in the water Jamie and Alika worked well together to get each of us plenty of opportunities to ride the waves. Each time they sent us out they provided reminders and corrections on our technique. I would definitely go back for additional instruction from them. read more
