When in Hawaii - surf!
Alan_S, Mar 2024
Tommy was a great. Instructor and the surfing was good this day. My son had such a great time he wanted to rent boards and go out again after just one lesson!
Must do experience
Alan_S, Mar 2024
Great first lesson for my daughter. Aria was a good teacher and we caught our first waves with Diamond Head as a backdrop. Highly recommended
Great for novice surfers
Catherine_A, Mar 2024
Great experience for novice surfers. Josh and James were patient and professional. Surfing in Waikiki- Bucket list checked!
Excellent instructor - husband surfed his first ever wave in Waikiki! Awesome gift idea.
Kate_M, Feb 2024
I had booked this for my husband's birthday and since the minimum people to book was 2, I decided to try it as well. Surfing ended up not being for me - I was way too nervous about standing on the board and it was a bit overwhelming when in the moment on a wave because it feels like you go SO FAST - but my husband had an awesome time and we are both so thankful to the instructor, Trevor, for being so friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate about the area, our safety, and making sure we had as good of a time as possible. Trevor also tried his best to pump up my confidence after some wipe-outs so I appreciate that too :-p But in the end, I am most happy that my husband got up on a wave (his first ever!) and we definitely feel like we got our money's worth for having the attention just on us for the lesson. Trevor made sure we got all the motions right on the beach before we went into the water so he will make sure you are safe and as ready as you can be. Would certainly recommend and I'm glad I at least tried it!
Great surf lesson and experience

Had a great time with my son and was a first for each of us learning to surf. James was an excellent instructor and was very patient with us. I would not hesitate to use this company again and it was a great value!
Fantastic Experience for First Time Surfers!

We had an amazing lesson with Trevor of Gone Surfing! It was just my husband and I, and Trevor gave us a quick land lesson on the basics - how to paddle, how to stand up, common mistakes to avoid- and then we were off in the water! We were given a rash guard and a place to store our things, then had our boards strapped on and we went out to the water. Trevor helped carry out boards into the water (heavier than you think!!) and then helped paddle us out to where we surf (which is MUCH MUCH harder than you think) and then we got to surfing, which was easier than you think due to great instruction! Trevor had us surfing alone and together on multiple waves - I would guess we rode around 10 waves each? When we got back in, we got to see all of the great pics and videos Mackenzie took of us, and now have a great momento of a great afternoon ! definitely recommend a surfing lesson with Gone Surfing when you’re in Hawaii!
Our instructor was Nate,...
Juliana_M, May 2023
Our instructor was Nate, he was very nice. We were both very nervous and getting over fears today. He was very understanding and was easy going. It made it very easy to be comfortable and feel safe out there in the water. We both stood up on our boards and surfed. Just listen to the instructors and they will tell you everything you need to know! It was a great experience, and we both had a crazy adrenaline rush after wards. Totally recommend!
Great experience!
Tsai_C, Mar 2023
Our menor is Trevor, he is great and always encourages us for our surfing. Though the first time surfing, we can almost successfully stand up on the board! This is a great experience. We really recommend this surfing lesson!
Best Surf Lesson in Waikiki
LucyY_L, Jun 2022
Great experience. My son and I took a lesson together. Trevor was our surf coach and thoroughly taught skills and safety before going into the water. Jaden stored our belongings in a locker, and we had a great lesson. Totally recommend. Beautiful location .
Best way to learn how to surf!!
Ashleigh_L, May 2022
The best experience, highly recommended! This was my first time surfing and there was no better way to learn. Huge shoutout to Jarret for being the best instructor and making sure everyone caught waves.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Aloha Ashleigh, THANKS SO MUCH for the awesome review! We're super stoked to hear your first surfing experience was a great one! We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Jarrett, and hope to see you in the water again 🤙! Mahalo, The Crew
I f you go to Hawaii you have to try surfing
Linda_H, Mar 2022
Following an on-beach lesson we paddled out. The instructor waited for the right waves, gave us a push and we were off. All three of us were able to get up on the board and surf. It was great! Surfing uses a lot of muscles that you may not use in your daily life. I have a new level of respect for surfers.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Aloha Linda, THANKS SO MUCH for the review! And no doubt, surfing is a workout, yet so much fun! Hope to see you guys in the water again 🤙! Mahalo, The Crew
Surfs Up!
Kelsey_F, Dec 2021
SO MUCH FUN! Definitely the highlight of my trip here! Shawn was fun and we definitely caught some waves. 10/10
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Aloha Kelsey! AWESOME to hear you had so much fun, and we're honored to be the the highlight of your trip! Hope to see you in the water again 🤙. Mahalo, The Crew
Amazing first time surfing experience at sunset!
NurAsri, Dec 2021
My family had a wonderful private beginners lesson with Jason, our instructor. He was incredibly friendly and helpful and took all our fears and hesitations away immediately. It made learning how to surf enjoyable and much easier than we anticipated. We each got out to ride four waves each which is far more than we expected. Highly recommend Gone Surfing and their friendly staff (super helpful even with the rescheduling that had to occur with an overbooking conflict)!
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Aloha Nur, We love when families surf together! We're super stoked to hear you all felt at ease and caught not one, not two, but four waves each... what a rush! And THANK YOU SO MUCH for the review and kind words! Mahalo, The Crew
Great experience surfing in Honolulu
Chelsea_D, Nov 2021
We had a great time taking our first surfing lesson with Austin! He was patient, encouraging, and really showed us how to surf correctly. We also appreciated that he paddled us out to the ocean so we could save energy for the actual surfing! 10/10 would recommend! Chelsea
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Aloha Chelsea, MUCH MAHALOS for choosing and trusting us for your first surf lesson! We are super stoked to hear you had a great time! Austin is pretty great, and we commend our team for their ability to tow out our participants. The Crew

Kayla_H, Oct 2021
Amazing experience surfing! It was my first time, and the instructors were very informative and patient. We actually were able to catch multiple waves!
Response from Host, Nov 2021

Vanessa_N, Oct 2021
First time for my partner and I trying anything like this. We have zero experience but had such a great instructor. The hardest part is getting to the surfing spot/area. More than the actual surfing haha. Ive been recommending this to everyone i know!! Cant wait to try again!
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Aloha Vanessa, THANKS SO MUCH for the review! We love how no experience didn't stop you and your partner from trying out surfing. And YES, the swim out is a great workout for the arms... hehe! Hope to see you in the water again 🤙
I’m on a wave!
Kathryn_R, Oct 2021

Casey_L, Aug 2021
Great experience! The instructor was eficiente and to the point. We went from check in to actually surfing very quickly, which I appreciated.
Response from Host, Oct 2021

Audrey_H, Aug 2021
Such a friendly and enthusiastic team. We trusted our two teenagers to go alone with the instructor for surf lessons. This was their first surf lesson ever and they were already surfing. The instructor was so good. My kids told me that he was so attentive. Brought the pictures. They look great! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Aloha, We love taking some groups and friends surfing. So glad they had a good time and felt safe. We hope to see them in the water again. Mahalo
