Incredible!
Reviewed by: MinnesotaMike, 2010/04/23My six year old daughter surfed! We all did! We all got up and we have the videotape to prove it! This was our first activity on our first day and it set a trend of quality that stayed throughout our trip. These surfers are great teachers, assistants, advisors, helpers, and just plain nice.
I can't recommend anywhere more than this school.

Surfing For Everyone
Reviewed by: Ron Gurtiza, 2010/03/25All the instructors made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun and guaranteed we would all stand up. I signed up for the 2 hour class. The waves were knee to waist high and be prepared to do a lot of paddling. Everyone in my group stood up on the board. We all started posing for the camera while surfing. Very fun for all age groups. A school of dolphins showed up and jumping along with us. PERFECT DAY!!!!

Awesome!
Reviewed by: Elaine, 2008/03/29All of the staff at Hans Hedemann are just wonderful, from the driver, to the instructor at the shop, all the instructors in the ocean, and even the cameraman! Everyone was just so friendly, laughing and smiling, and making sure we were having a good time. My fiance and I had an awesome time and would recommend this surf school to everybody. The pictures came out great, thank you camera man!

wear the right shirt
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/08/30Our 17, 15, and 12 year old all had a great experience. All of them got up several times and are very glad they did it. Two of the kids wore short sleeve shirts and wish they wore long sleeve as they both had quite a rash on the arm from rubbing against the board.

Great time surfing with Ivan!
Reviewed by: Julia & Cole, 2007/05/29I had surfed a few times before with previous lessons but never with this company. My boyfriend had never surfed before. We were picked up more or less on time by the driver, driven to the surf shop, and introduced quickly to our teacher, Ivan, a lovely man who has lived in Oahu over 20 years. He gave us our gear, including two massive boards that we toted to the beach. We then had a lesson on the sand for about 15 minutes, then out to sea!
We enjoyed the surfing, though I was a bit afraid of the waves and thus Ivan toned it down until I was confident. Once I was, though, he took us out to where regulars were surfing, and we did more or less okay!
Our lesson was 2 hours long, and we are both in 8 out of 10 shape, but were both POOPED by then end - so I recommend that you keep the lesson length in mind with your own fitness!
I absoultely recommend no more than 2 or at most 3 people to an instructor so that noone holds the group back.
Ivan was a nice man and I felt he was low k
