What our customers are saying

“Had the BEST surf experience and it just gets better”

I took my two teenaged daughters on a trip to Poipu. Poipu Beach Surf School was recommended to me by a lady in my yoga class. Well, they didn’t disappoint! Great instructors! Great experience! I don’t have a single complaint about them. In fact, I contacted them Direct Call kind enough to give us a surf school there.

When i go back to Poipu beach surf school will see us again. Note* Book early 😉

“One of the best”

Never knew how fun surfing could be until Doug taught my twin daughters how to surf. Doug is a great instructor. He is a true professional with a lot of experience. My kids loved him–said he was fun to be with, that they learned a lot and were able to surf in just a short time. We parents had peace of mind knowing that our kids were with one of the best surfing instructors in the country.

“Favorite part of my trip”

What’s left to say that hasn’t already been said by the hundreds of people before me. Everyone we worked with that day were awesome great and the experience was nothing short of amazing. They provide all of the gear, and no matter what your skill level is, I guarantee you’ll ride many waves during your time in the water.

Even though I’ll probably be able to remember the basics of surfing, I will definitely go back to Poipu beach surf school when I return to Hawaii, just because I liked it so much!
