Everyone in our party of 8 got up multiple times - children from the age of 9 and adults. The instructors were very patient and provided great instruction both on land and in the water.

I just took lessons here today. My instructor was Kyle. He was so good and friendly! The training is great and he had my clumsy butt up on my board on my second try! I highly recommend Kauai Surf School and Kyle as an instructor! Thanks for the great time!

I took surf lessons last year in San Diego. My son loved watching and he really wanted to try for himself. So, we decided to go with the Kauai Surf School based on their reviews. We were not disappointed! My 6 year old son loved it! Allen was so good with him. He gave him the confidence he needed right... More

My family of 5 (2 parents, 3 teens) booked a few weeks in advance and were worried when the weather turned right before our lesson. We started anyway (the rain was warm!) and Kyle did a short land lesson then got us in the water quickly. I got up on the first try! Kyle was an excellent teacher and even... More

We had a group of eight from Vail, Colorado that signed up for KSS because of the great reviews we read on Trip Advisor. Allen and Sparky were our two guides for our lesson. Both were very helpful and friendly. We all learned so much and were able to get up multiple times. Some of us had taken lessons in... More

Our lessons were on Thursday 4/11/13. We decided to get a "semi-private" lesson for our 7 year old daugter and our 7 year old niece. Nick was amazing with them from the begining and the girls had a fantastic time! Not only did he have them riding waves within their fist few minutes in the water, he also took the... More

Surfed with Kauai surf school after a disappointing experience with the Margo Oberg School. Allen with KSS was great. No comparison -- KSS does a far better job.

We were a group of 4 of varying ages, but all new to surfing. We had a great experience with Kyle on land and in the water. Highly recommended activity while in Hawaii. Start your core and upper body work out now!

We had taken one surf lesson two years ago when visiting the big island. We knew we enjoyed surfing so we chose the surf clinic called "da trio" which consisted of three individual days of surf lessons at a better value than individual lessons. Our instructors were Josh and Allan, both very enthusiastic, patient and knowledgable about surfing. They were... More

My 21 year old daughter recently had her 1st surfing experience and it was great. The Kauai Surf School was a very good choice. The instructor not only knew his stuff but was good at providing instruction. He did a great job of teaching the basics in a short amount of time. Since we were staying at the Sheraton on... More
