You know when I told people that I was going to take a surf lesson everyone said but you already know how to surf. I said, there is always room to learn and get better. I had an amazing time! What are great session. This session for me really connected the dots. I couldn't grasp how to physically move around the board but after detailed explanation and a few attempts it just clicked. I get it now! This was seriously a game changer. I also didn't understand the importance of board size with different waves. Not every board works for every wave. I feel like I knew that but again after a brief discussion, I understood. The instructor was patient and communicative from the beginning. When I say from the beginning, he called and texted me prior to the session to let me know where he would be and just seem genuinely concerned for my well being. This is my first session of many to come. I'm going to practice what I've learned and go back for a few more sessions. I'm stoked! read more

I wanted to do something special for my wife's birthday and introduce her to something new. Surfing instantly came to mind and who better to learn from than one of the most well respected and nicest surfers around, Micah Moniz. Micah instantly welcomed us and then we began with some instructions on the beach before hitting the water. Once out in the water, my wife and I instantly starting catching waves. I have never seen my wife smile so much. I was definitely stoked as well. Micah's knowledge of surfing showed that day for sure. My wife and I knew right away we would be back for more lessons. I 150 percent recommend him if you want to learn how to surf and overall have a great time out in the water. read more

Having Micah to guide us around the South Shore surf was a game changer. It was my first time coming to Oahu, and in terms of surfing I had no idea what to expect. For all I knew I would be surfing Teahupo'o! I didn't know if the waves would be good, if the locals would be chill, or even if there would be waves at all. But as soon as me and my brother met up with Micah, immediately our fears were put to ease. He told us about the break, about the surf etiquette needed, and all of the little things in between. He was the most helpful person in the world and it transformed the day into the favorite of our trip. It was an experience of a lifetime, and one that I would recommend for anyone. read more

Micah and my surf session were everything I'd hoped for and more. I'm an advanced surfer and was looking for a knowledgeable local guide that could help get me to the best breaks and have a great time. Micah is extremely knowledgeable and well known in the area (this makes a huge difference in the lineup). He put me in all of the right spots and was there to coach and guide as needed. Micah's friendly laid back style also brought that aloha flare to the session. I caught a ton of great rides and had a killer time doing it. I highly recommend Micah and the Hawaii Surf Club to any skill level. read more

Teo our 8 year old is our only child. When choosing a surf coach for him, we contemplated very important points beyond ocean and surf experience. We wanted someone we could feel 100% safe to be with our son in the surf pushing his limits and improving his techniques. Micah not only does that but it's also an amazing role model, a great dad, husband and character. We are extremely satisfied with Micah and his team and are sure we made the right choice. Teo truly loves sessions, improves every time and most important we have someone we TRUST 100% to be with son in the surf and also leading him. read more

I'm not sure anyone could recommend Micah and Hawaii Surf Club more. His knowledge, skills and patience have taken a completely petrified novice to a person who can actually catch my own waves! Micah's attention to safety is second to none, and makes the whole lesson fun. Also, if your lucky enough to see him catch a wave you will be awestruck!! It's stunning. Surfing Royalty!! I can't wait until my next lesson to see what new skill he teaches me. Thank you Micah! read more

Being intimated by the water but always wanting to surf ....Micah made a dream come true in Waikiki!!! It was my first time out on a board and he got me standing and riding the waves!! Being able to teach is gift and I feel so lucky to have found him. I want to continue to learn to surf because he made this experience so fun, safe and enjoyable. Even if like me you think you can't. Think again. It just takes the right person. Thank you so much!!!!! read more

Such an awesome experience!!!! Micah is such a cool, easy going guy and helped us relax from the get go. I've never surfed despite being born and raised in Hawaii my whole life, such a disservice to myself. My 2 kiddos and I decided it would be a great experience to do together. Micah was awesome with all of us, very patient and encouraging. A very successful surf session, all 3 of us got up several times:) Can't wait for our next lesson. read more

Micah made sure I felt confident and safe in the water. I stood up pretty soon after my first wave and had a ton of fun! He was incredibly patient throughout the entire process and I left wanting to get back on a surfboard ASAP. Got in contact via Instagram DM's and received a response right away! Hawaii Surf Club is the way to go, whether you're a beginner or someone just looking to get better at catching waves! read more

Thank you Micah for the amazing surf lessons! My sister and I learned so much about surfing, from etiquette, to standing up, and turning in a short amount of time. He took such great care of us, and made sure we were safe the entire time. I highly recommend booking a private lesson with him in order to gain confidence riding waves, and being in the ocean. It was definitely worth it! read more
