We first came to Ant in May 2024 for our 5 year-old son's first surfing lesson. He worked with us to ensure that our kiddo would have the best day in the water by keeping us updated on the weather and surf reports -- he tailored our session around "the best day" for it -- which turned out to be perfect! Our kiddo was standing up on the board in no time and riding waves all the way in! Ant made the experience so fun that our kiddo was instantly hooked and has been surfing since! He even asked that if we ever go back to Kauai if he could see Ant again. Here we are, it's June 2025 (a year after from our 1st session), and our kiddo got to have his second session with Ant! He was so excited to be back on the same beach and show Ant how much more confident he is on the board. This time Ant's daughter was there to assist, since there was another family that joined us in our session. Ant and his daughter made the whole experience smooth and fun, ensuring everyone had equal support and attention. We highly recommend Ant for anyone who wants to experience surfing in a fun and safe environment. Ant's the man!

He did such a phenomenal job making sure everyone had a LOT of turns catching waves. He was tracking 87,000 things at once - giving feedback on the form/technique of the person who just caught a wave, watching for the next wave to launch an adult student, verbal cues for his daughter and the littles. I've been surfing on the coast of Washington state and in Panama as well as trying out Kailea beach on my own this week, and I caught more waves today than I had in all the other times combined!! Can't wait to come back and take another lesson.

They provide you with a rash guard to wear. I do recommend wearing something that will stay secure against the rough waves.

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.

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.

Awesome time is how to begin our experience with Kelley as a surf instructor and great person…read moreoverall. He took my girls under his wing when he saw them paddle out then turn around out of intimidation since they weren't with a instructor yet (they have some previous experience but were new to the Kauai surf). He immediately gave them the tips they needed to feel confident in the water. After this he became their instructor for the rest of our time on the south shore. Kelley got them out to the real surf, taught them what they needed to do to enhance their ability. The girls rode so many waves and were stoked!!! While on the water, Kelley connected with them. He made them feel like friends instantly. The girls said that not only did they have a blast surfing but loved getting back in the surf to laugh their heads off in conversations together. After just one day, we were hooked. His lessons are an experience. Unlike a regular school where the ratio and the distance to shore is short, Kelley gets you on the surf for great rides time after time. It was so great that our 9 year had a lesson after seeing his sisters out there and had the time of his life. On this note, Kelley knew he wasn't as experienced and took him to a different area that would work best for him. Kelley knows the surf and makes sure you are in the right spot based on your ability and what he feels works for you. On top of all this, there is nothing better than meeting someone like Kelley, a native to the island who shares his knowledge and friends on the island to ensure when you do something you are in the right hands. If you want the best surfing experience in Poipu, you must give Kelly a call or show up at the public entrance to the beach next to the Marriott Vacation Resort. It will be the best decision you can make for yourself or family members that want to surf on the south shore.

I didn't pay to stand on land I paid to be in the water. Kelley pushes you for a few waves so you can get a feel for. Then encourages you to try and catch your own waves. I loved it! Super cool and chill local dude who knows how to surf.
