Don't waste time doing more research - book with SurfHNL at Ala Moana. You will definitely love it. Mahalo from MI!

You can order food from the lookout restaurant above the wave deck and the wave deck bar is fully stocked. They allow you to bring the food from the farmers market into the lineup wave deck area and we usually order drinks there and enjoy watching the surfers. Good vibes with food, drinks, music and Surfing. Every Thursday they put on a surf show with local talent showing off some crazy tricks. It is very entertaining. There is usually a guy on the mic who does a good job hyping up the crowd and surfers. He will say what each surf maneuver is called, which I really appreciate. I have been surfing in the ocean for many years and considered myself intermediate level. But, surfing the wave pool did take awhile to get use to. I suggest starting off booking a few sessions on the smaller section of the wave pool and then move up to the bigger section once you feel more confident. The entire staff are so friendly and helpful. The gave me pointers and hyped me up even though I felt like I wasn't doing that good on the wave. They make you feel very comfortable and the whole experience is good vibes.

After some research, we found Kalani Surf School, and appreciated that they were based on the west side and offered private lessons. So glad we had our first official surf lessons with Kealii!! Upon meeting Kealii, he was so friendly and welcoming and really put us at ease. He showed us some of the basics in the sand, then got us out in the water. We felt so prepared and equipped with the right skills when we got out there! The thrill of riding those waves all the way into shore still puts a smile on my face! We're even trying to fit in some more lessons before we move! In general- Kealii is such an incredible instructor, and really gives you his undivided attention through these private lessons. I can't imagine trying to learn these surf skills with a large group! My best friend and I were corrected on our form when needed, and felt like the movements were almost second nature by the end of the lesson! Thank you Kealii and Kalani Surf School for making our surf dreams come true! Be back soon

My daughter (2.5) was great on land, but hated the waves once in the water, but she was never pressured. I'm an experienced surfer but only get out about once a year so Tristan was able to help me get that muscle memory back, and was patient when I took breaks to check on my kids (and husband! They weren't alone). Even my husband who vowed never to surf again said he'll try it next time with these guys! Would definitely recommend for anyone learning to surf on the north shore!

I have a license from another country, but it is not convertible to American driving license, so I had to basically go through the entire process again. I honestly thought it wouldn't be a big problem... until I faced the reality. There were so many technicalities on the driving test that I couldn't pass it. To the point that I started to doubt myself and developed driving anxiety. That's when I realized I needed to try something different. I needed help from a professional. And that's how I found Hoku Driving School. That was one of the best decisions I've made. Jesse is everything in one person. Super positive, encouraging, and also very informative. After just the first lesson, I felt a big shift in my confidence. I stopped doubting myself. And it wasn't just feel-good talk -- he gave me very practical, helpful info that actually made me a better driver. But what really made the difference were all the little tips and tricks on how to pass the test. On top of that, he's just a great person to spend time with in the car. We talked about different things, he kept my nerves down. He was cheering me on till the day I had a test. I really felt like someone was on my side, rooting for me. It was absolutely worth the investment, and now I'm recommending him to anyone who's going through this process. Don't struggle alone. Just hire a professional and save yourself the tears and the stress.
