My BF and I have always wanted to try surfing, but just hadn't taken that first step. We found ourselves in Oahu and decided what better place to learn how to surf than in Hawaii? After reviewing a number of surfing lessons, we found Gone Surfing. Jo Jo was awesome! She is a great instructor- enthusiastic, patient, and knowledgeable- before,... More

My son took his first surfing lesson with this wonderful outfit and he loved it! I watched the instructor on the beach and decided when I come back it was MY turn to surf! The instructor was extremely professional and I regret not "hanging ten" with my son! (Next Time:)

I live on Oahu and visitors always want to try surfing. Jo Jo and her staff at Gone Surfing are the best on Oahu. She is a great instructor. My friends caught tons of waves and the photographer was out there capturing all of the fun moments. Jo Jo's smile, enthusiasm, and love of the ocean is contagious. She is... More

We were looking for a less crowded area of Waikiki to take some surf lessons and this fit our bill perfectly. We were there last week of March and not a lot of people around. Jo Jo was a great teacher and very patient. Spent most of the time in the water surfing and not on land practicing. Recommend to... More

My wife, sister and I all did the Gone Surfing Hawaii experience and it was everything that the TA reviews said it would be. My wife did SUP private lessons with Brad and my sister and I did the surf lessons with Jedi, JoJo did the camerawork. They were all great. Jedi was the perfect instructor for my sister and... More

If learning to surf in Waikiki is a 'must do', choosing Gone Surfing to do so is most certainly a good idea ! The team & organization is very professional & efficient (they were able to accomodate a last minute change in the date of my lesson in a very smooth manner) This family-run company combine excellent & nice teachers...

I figured if I'm in Hawaii I might as well give surfing a try but no one ever told my how much fun it was going to be and it was all because Jo Jo is an amazing teacher. She starts by giving a short land lesson where you learn how to paddle, turn, and stand up on the board... More

My experience with Gone Surfing Hawaii was absolutely top-notch, unforgettable, and one of the highlights of my vacation, for sure! My husband and I were in Hawaii celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary, along with two other couples. I was the only one in the group who wanted to try surfing, and I had read nothing but glowing reviews about JoJo... More

Jedi is great! I will pass on the review to him. Booking in advance does help get the preferred time slot- being a small company, we book up quickly. Please give us a call next time you are in town. Mahalo, jojo More

We visited Oahu this month and once again decided to book surfing lessons with jojo This time my mum decided to surf and she is afraid of water. Jojo adapted the lesson so that she surfed in a different area, where she could stand in the water when she came off her board and my mum surfed without any problem... More

I took my daughters along on a business trip to HI and decided to surprise them with a 2-hour, semi-private surfing lesson with JoJo's company. Semi-private was the way to go for us since it meant that the three of us would have a private instructor; well worth it in my opinion. For those that are wondering if the experience... More
