"We had an amazing experience learning to surf in Poipu. David was our instructor and was truly fantastic. He was patient, knowledgable, and great at explaining what to do. I was really nervous, but he had me up in no time. We had tons of time in the water. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Mahalo!"

"This was the perfect class for my 13 yr old to learn to surf with no experience at all. He was up and riding waves by his second attempt! There were only 4 in the class, no young children allowed in the class so he received plenty of 1:1 instruction as did all the class members with equal distribution. This included feedback on his techniques that weren’t working for him for immediate correction on the next wave. I sat on the shore watching and felt completely comfortable with him out in the water with the instructor and wasn’t worried at all like I thought I would feel. His teacher was friendly, positive and helpful. I highly recommend this company and would do it again. Thanks Hoku Watersports!"

"Great fun doing the surf lesson! David really did a great job hitting on the key technique points, and was soooo patient with an old guy beginner from Wisconsin like myself! I managed to get up 3-4 times ... time for some more lessons!"

"Greg, Kele and the team at Hoku Water Sports should be your first and only stop if you want to learn to surf or build your skills while visiting Poipu. As an instructor, Kele in particular is enthusiastic, highly skilled and super patient. He knows when to push you beyond your current skillset, and he knows when to dial it back and help build your confidence in the water. Don't worry, you will never surf like him. But watching him effortlessly catch and ride waves while also improving your own skills is almost as good."
