Surf HNL - Waikiki Surfing Lessons at Ala Moana Beach

Warm wishes from cold Cali,

Reviewed by: Adrienne and Randy Tabije

Thank you so much for my surfing experience! Four days was definitely not enough for me and I miss it already. You all were so kind and helpful. This was, by far, the best surfing experience I've had in all my attempts to learn. Because of that, I'm planning on picking up some classes out here in California once the weather gets better. So hopefully by the time I return next year, I'll be on a much smaller board =). You guys are awesome!

Surf HNL - Waikiki Surfing Lessons at Ala Moana Beach

Must Do!

Reviewed by: Stephanie Broughton

My two hours with Mito were such a highlight of my time on Oahu I am telling lots of people who are going to the islands that this is a "must do" activity. We had so much fun together and I actually was able to stand, sort of. I have balance problems and thought this was something I would try and enjoy, no expectation of success. I am still not the best in the balance arena, but I did stand on two feet without hands--an accomplishment for me and a credit to Mito's skill as a teacher.

Waikiki Stand Up Paddleboard Lesson & Guided Tour at Ala Moana Beach Park

Stand Up Paddling

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.

サーフィン・レッスン　アラモアナ・ビーチ･パーク　3歳から参加できる！ by サーフHNL

It was fun. 楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My husband experienced it for the first time in 20 years, and it was my first experience, but the staff taught us various things in advance, so we felt safe entering the sea. We had a lesson with three people, including someone from Europe, and they helped us compare the waves so that everyone could ride equally. It was exciting to ride the waves and I was thrilled. I definitely want to participate again.

主人は20年ぶり、私は初体験でしたが、スタッフの方が事前にいろいろ教えてくれ安心して海に入れました。
欧人の方と3人のレッスンでしたが、どの人にもまんべんなく乗れるよう波を見比べてくれ、楽しく波に乗ることができ感激でした。
また、是非参加したいです。

I participated with a friend in July☆

I was worried about whether I could stand up since it was my first time surfing, but both of us managed to stand and it was so much fun!!

I am really grateful to our instructor, Yuko. She taught us the basics properly, and when I mentioned that I wanted to surf in Japan, she shared a lot of information.

Yuko is kind, thorough, and... cute♪

Thank you so much!!

It was so enjoyable that although we originally planned to surf for just one day, we added another day on-site!! I highly recommend it for beginners☆

You can participate with peace of mind, and communication is clear, plus they teach the basics in an easy-to-understand way.

If you go to Hawaii, definitely give it a try!!

I will definitely participate again on my next trip to Hawaii!! Yuko, I hope to see you again then☆★☆★

７月に友達と２人で参加しました☆

初めてのサーフィンで立てるかな？？？と心配していましたが、２人共なんとか立ててすっごく楽しかったです！！

インストラクターのユウコさんには本当に感謝感謝です。
きちんと基礎を教えてもらって、日本でもサーフィンをしたいと言ったら色々と教えてくれました。

親切で丁寧でそして。。。　可愛い♪　ユウコさん！！

本当にありがとうございました！！

楽しすぎて予定ではサーフィンは1日だけだったけど、現地でもう1日追加しました！！
初心者の方には本当におススメです☆

安心して参加できるし、言葉もきちんと通じるし、
基礎から分かりやすく教えてもらえます。

是非ハワイへ行ったときは参加してみてください！！

次回のハワイでも必ず参加します！！
ユウコさんその時はまたお願いします☆★☆★

Despite the scheduling difficulties and my insistence, they kindly agreed to help me.

I was able to learn properly from the basics and really catch the waves!! The excitement when I stood up was incredible. When I stumbled in the shallow water, I got a few scrapes, but I see those as proof of my effort. Moreover, the instructor was very friendly and cute. It felt more like hanging out with friends among the girls, which made it even more enjoyable. I had a fantastic time surfing, and it truly became a wonderful memory.

When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to request Girls Who Surf!!

Thank you, Yuko!!!

どうしても都合が合わず、無理を言ったにも関わらず、
快く引き受けて下さいました。

基礎からちゃんと教えてもらえて、しっかり波に乗れる事ができました！！
立てた時の感動は、半端ないです。
ちょっと浅瀬でコケると、多少傷も出来ますがこれも頑張った証拠だと思えます。
しかも先生は、とてもフレンドリー＆キュートです。
女子同士だとお友達みたいな感じでさらに楽しいです。
とても楽しいサーフィンをする事が出来て、本当に
いい思い出になりました。

またハワイに行ったら、是非ガールズフーサーフさんで
お願いしたいと思います！！

Surfing with a beautiful instructor in Hawaii! 美人インストラクターとハワイでSURF★

Reviewed by: RINO★

I went to Hawaii during Golden Week. My husband and I took a three-hour lesson. My husband has been surfing for seven years, and I was a beginner, but he took me to a beach near Ala Moana where there were few people, and we both had a great time.

There were six people in our group, and we had two super cute Japanese instructors, which was an incredible luxury for me to have a surf lesson in Japanese in Hawaii as a beginner. They were gentle when we entered the water and encouraged me, who lacks stamina, so I was able to take the lesson with peace of mind.

My husband really liked the beach with no people, and when he mentioned that he wanted to surf there again the next day, they kindly brought the surfboard to Ala Moana Beach for our lesson the next day. He was very satisfied that he could surf outside of Waikiki without renting a car.

I definitely want to request this again next time.

ゴールデンウィークにハワイに行ってきました。
主人と３時間レッスンを受けました。
主人はサーフィン歴７年、私は初心者でしたが、アラモアナの方のビーチまで車で連れて行ってくれ、人も少なく主人も私も思う存分楽しめました。
６名のグループでしたが、日本人の超カワイイインストラクターが２人付いてくれて、初心者の私にはハワイで日本語のサーフレッスンが受けられるなんて最高に贅沢でした。
海に入っても優しく、そして体力のない私を励ましてくださり、安心してレッスンを受けることができました。

主人はこの人のいないビーチがすごく気に入り、次の日もここのビーチでサーフィンをしたいと言ってみると、
次の日のレッスンに合わせて、サーフボードをアラモアナのビーチまで持ってきて下さいました。
レンタカーを借りずにワイキキの海以外でサーフィンができ、大満足の様子でした。

次回も是非お願いしたいと思います。

Reviewed by: shinsuke

I originally started shortboarding in Japan, but I struggled with takeoff. I felt some resistance to lessons in Japan, so I thought I would participate in Hawaii instead.

As a man, I wondered how it would be with only female instructors, but the atmosphere was quite friendly and pleasant. The instructor was, of course, beautiful (laughs). The lessons were tailored to my level, and the teaching was both theoretical and easy to understand, allowing me to grasp the concepts during the lesson! Of course, I worked on perfecting my takeoff as well!

As soon as I returned to Japan, I challenged myself on the shortboard and was able to take off right away!

I finally became a surfer. Thank you, instructor Yu-ko!!

もともと日本でショートボードを始めたのですが、テイクオフがなかなか難しくつまずいてました。日本でのレッスンはなんか抵抗もあり、ハワイでならと思い参加しました。

男性として女性だけのインストラクターでどうかな？と思いましたが、なかなかフレンドリーな感じで雰囲気もよかったです。
インストラクターはもちろん美女でした（笑）
レッスンも私のレベルにあった教え方をして頂き、理論的かつ分かりやすい教え方で納得しながらレッスンできました！
もちろん、テイクオフも完璧になるまでに！

早速、日本へ帰ってきてからショートでチャレンジも、すぐにテイクオフできました！

やっとサーファーになれました、
インストラクターのyu-koさんありがとう！！

My first surfing experience. 人生初サーフィン

Reviewed by: savvy

I went with my two sisters in late March. My sister and I were a bit nervous since it was our first experience, but the instructor was such a nice person (and super cute!!) that all our tension disappeared.

With her assistance, all three of us were able to stand up, and we were so thrilled!! Three hours flew by in no time. It was so much fun that we immediately made a reservation for the next day. We were completely captivated by the waves in Hawaii for two days.

I definitely want to rely on Girls Who Surf again next time!!

３月下旬に３姉妹で行ってきました。
私と妹は初体験だったので、少し緊張していましたが、インストラクターのお姉さんが、それはもういい人で（しかも超カワイイ！！）さっきまでの緊張はどこへやら・・

３時間なんてあっとゆう間でした。
あまりの面白さに、次の日も即予約＾＾
２日間ハワイの波に夢中でした。

Gotta surf when you're in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: Surfin' Steve

Learning to surf must be on just about everyone's 'must-do' list when they come to Hawaii. It was on mine because my Dad surfed in California while he was with the Marines.

I rented a board in Waikiki and went out on my own. Paddling is great exercise but I wasn't even able to stand up. I found an ad for Girls Who Surf in the Army MWR magazine and called them. At my first lesson, I was able to stand up and ride on a half dozen waves!

I went for another seven lessons over the next five months progressing from using a 12-foot board to being able to surf with a 7-foot board. I wanted to progress fast and the instructors at Girls Who Surf gave me the skills to do it.

Through Girls Who Surf, I gained confidence, strength endurance in my upper body and have improved my balance skills. My first lesson wore me out paddling for waves. Eight months later, I was able to paddle a mile to a surf-break then surf for an hour-and-a-half and still had energy to spare

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated on December 24th. Since we had never surfed before, we were a bit anxious about surfing itself and learning in English, but it was more enjoyable than we expected.
The instructor couldn't speak Japanese, but he was very kind and taught us in a way that was easy to understand. They also provided longer surfboards, so we were able to catch waves right away.
I think the instruction itself involves gestures, so it's okay if you don't understand much English, but being able to speak English would definitely enhance the experience.

Perhaps due to lack of exercise, I had muscle soreness starting the next day.
However, if I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to learn at Girls Who Surf.

　12月24日に参加しました。私たちは今までにサーフィンをしたことがなかったので、サーフィン自体も不安でしたし、英語で習うのも少し心配でしたが、予想以上に楽しめました。
　インストラクターの方は日本語が話せませんでしたが、とても優しく、わかりやすく教えてくれました。サーフボードも長めのものを用意してくれていたので、すぐに波に乗ることができました。
　サーフィンの指導自体は身振り手振りもあるので、多少英語がわからなくても大丈夫だとは思いますが、英語は話せたほうが楽しめるとは思います。
　
　運動不足のせいか、次の日から筋肉痛になりました。
　でも、またハワイに行ったら必ずガールズ・フー・サーフで習いたいと思います。

As expected of Hawaii! さすがハワイ！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since the children participated, my child was in a private session while I was in a semi-private session, with two instructors for the three of us. We booked a full three hours, but unlike surfing in Japan, the waves kept coming, and in the end, we could only last an hour and a half. It felt quite wasteful. Perhaps because we were experienced, the briefing on land was shorter? The kids were able to ride the waves that kept coming and seemed to feel great when praised. When I called to confirm our arrival, I received a confirmation call that evening. They asked for our weights, so I thought they would prepare boards suited for each of us, but all three of us ended up with soft tops (urethane boards). While they have buoyancy, I wonder if they might not be suitable for practice. The point is that from the yacht harbor next to the Hilton Rainbow Tower, even children can paddle out easily, so I think beginners and kids can participate without any trouble. The instructors didn't speak any Japanese, so if we had been better at English, our conversations would have flowed more, and it would have been even more enjoyable.

子供も参加したので、子供はプライベート、私はセミプライベートでの参加でしたが、インストラクター2人に私たち親子3人という形でした。たっぷり3時間予約しましたが、日本でのサーフィンとちがいどんどん波がくるので、結局1時間半しか体力が持ちませんでした。かなりもったいなかったです。経験者ということもあり、陸でのブリーフィングも短めだったのでしょうか？子供たちはどんどん来る波に乗って行き、誉められとても気分がよかったようです。到着確認の電話をしたらその晩に確認電話がありました。体重を聞かれたので、それぞれにあったボードを用意してくれるのかと思ったら、3人ともソフトップ（ウレタンボード）でした。浮力はあるのですが、練習にはならないかも？と思います。ポイントは、ヒルトンレインボータワー横のヨットハーバーから子供でも十分パドルアウトできるので、初心者、子供さんでもらくらく参加でくるとおもいます。インストラクターは日本語はまったくしゃべれないので、私たちがもっと英語ができたら会話もはずんで、もっと楽しかったでしょうね。

The instructors were great-very supportive and helpful.
You need to warn people to wear some footgear-there are sharp rocks that cut our feet walking in after surfing. Also, a photographer/video would be nice since we can't hold on to cameras
while surfing (and you would make more $$).
