I did it at the beach near the zoo. It was my first time, but I was able to stand up. It was so much fun that I decided to do it again on-site. Next time, I want to try it at the big waves on the North Shore.

動物園の前辺りのビーチでやりました。初めてでしたが立てるようになりました。楽しかったので現地で追加してやりました。次回は波の大きいノースショアでやりたいです。

The location was excellent. ロケーションが最高でした

Reviewed by: 初ハワイアン

Overall, it was a lot of fun.
During my first trip to Hawaii, the experience of "surfing while looking at Diamond Head!" is something I think is quite rare.

With that in mind, here are the good and bad points:
1. Good points
- Using a long board makes it relatively easy to stand up. They push you from behind, so it's fine. No one in the same group had trouble standing.
- The location is absolutely fantastic! You can enjoy long rides while looking at Diamond Head. It feels really great.
- They take photos for you. $30 plus tax. The number of photos increases based on how many rides you take.

2. Bad points
- Women who couldn't get out to sea were left behind. The instructor only pulled them once at the beginning. As a result, those who couldn't go out on their own had fewer chances to ride the waves. I think if there were helpers, everyone could have enjoyed it more.
- The teaching was rough for the price. Even setting aside the fact that it's in English, in Japan, you would get more thorough instruction for half the price. I felt it was just a name for a lesson. They were just pushing from behind.

I wrote both good and bad points, but as I mentioned at the beginning, since it's Hawaii, which is an amazing place, I still recommend it.
It's a great memory for your trip!

3. Bonus
Be careful as it can be more tiring than you think. I think it's better to avoid hiking Diamond Head on the same day.

総合的にみて、とても楽しかったです。
初めてのハワイで、『ダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらサーフィン！』という体験はなかなか出来ないと思います。

それを踏まえて以下の良い点、悪い点を書きます。
１．良い点
・長い板を使うので比較的簡単に立つことができる。後ろから押してくれるし大丈夫。同じグループで立てない人はいませんでした。
・ロケーションが最高に良い！ダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらロングライドも可能です。とても気分が良いです。
・写真を撮ってくれる。＄３０プラス税金。乗った分だけ写真が増えます。

２．悪い点
・沖に出られない女性は放って置かれていました。先生が引っ張ってくれるのは最初の１回だけでした。結果、沖に自力で行けない人は波に乗る回数が少ないです。ヘルプ係とかいれば皆で楽しめたのにと思います。
・値段の割に教え方が雑。英語なのは置いといても、日本なら半額でもっと丁寧に教えてくれます。レッスンとは名ばかりだなと思いました。ただ後ろから押してるだけじゃん。

良い点、悪い点の両方を書きましたが、最初に書いた通りハワイという最高の場所なので、やっぱりお勧めです。
旅の思い出には最高ですよ！

３．おまけ
自分で思っている以上に疲れるので注意してください。同じ日にダイヤモンドヘッド登山とかはやめた方が良いと思います。

Reviewed by: Tonny

My wife and I signed up for a semi-private lesson. On the day of the lesson, we were picked up on time and went to the beach in front of the Ward Center. The instructor was a local girl, and she didn't speak Japanese, but she did her best to teach us in a way that was easy to understand, using gestures and other methods. Learning while trying hard to communicate with the locals in Hawaii made the experience even more enjoyable. However, please note that they do take photos, but there is a fee for that.

妻と2人でセミプライベートを申し込みました。
当日は時間通りピックアップしてもらい、ワードセンター前にあるビーチでレッスンです。イントラもロコガールで日本語は通じませんでしたが、一生懸命分かるようにジェスチャーなどで分かりやすく教えてくれました。せっかくのハワイハワイの人とコミュニケーションを一生懸命とりながら学ぶ事がより楽しくenjoyでした。

Really fun thing to do

Reviewed by: vikbmart

We had heard really great things about Girls Who Surf so had picked them for our very first surf lesson. One downside is that apparently it is impossible to actually get a female instructor which makes you wonder about the name of the group. Our instructor was Warren and he did a good job of explaining what all to do and then took us into the water. I was horrible at it and opted to sit out and let my husband finish the course instead and he actually ended up doing rather well. They took photos for us and since we were such bad surfers and there were so few photos they gave us a discount on the photo package. Both Warren and the photographer were really nice. Only possible negative of the outing is that even though we had provided height/weight info ahead of time they did not bring a board big enough for my husband and had to go get another board which delayed the start of our lesson. Wasn't a big problem since the weather was nice and we basically just sat on the beach waiting.

We participated as a couple. It was my wife's first time surfing, but since it was a private lesson, she felt at ease. The conversation in English was slow, and they paid attention to our reactions, so it wasn't a problem for us, even though we couldn't speak much. With their excellent support, we were able to stand up from the very beginning, and we were very satisfied with the different views and sensations of the ocean.

Reviewed by: めー。

I boarded a mixed bus from the Heideman office at the Waikiki Grand Hotel and headed to the beach. Everyone except me was part of a group, so I felt a bit lonely, but once I got into the water, it didn't matter about the group. I paddled on my own to reach the instructor, and when the waves came, they helped me. The instructor mentioned that if you're not used to paddling, it's difficult to ride the waves on your own.

The approximately two-hour lesson flew by, and depending on your stamina, you can ride the waves quite a bit! Since it's a less crowded beach (with a reef below), you can enjoy it without worry, and I highly recommend it.

All the explanations were in English.

ワイキキグランドホテルにあるヒーデマンのオフィスから混合バスに乗り込み、ビーチへ。私以外は皆グループで参加していたので少し心細かったですが、海に入ってしまえば、グループも何もありません。自力でパドルして、インストラクターの元に行き、波が来たら押してもらいます。インストラクターが普段からパドル慣れしていないと、自力で波に乗るのは難しいと言っていました。
約2時間のレッスンはあっという間でした体力次第でバンバン波に乗れますよー
人気の少ないビーチ（下がリーフ）なので、心おきなく出来ますし、オススメです

説明は全部英語でしたー

If it weren't for this, it would have been perfect. これさえなければ最高でした。

Reviewed by: tommy

I had always wanted to try it at least once, and I finally made it happen in Hawaii. Unlike Japan, the power of the waves was different, and surprisingly, I was able to stand up on the board right away. I had to paddle in time with the waves, but after two or three times, my arms became too tired, and each time, the coach pushed me from behind, allowing me to stand up multiple times, which was amazing.

Lastly, when I was being taken back, the hotel was WHITE SANDS HOTEL, but we took a long detour through Ala Wai and passed by Hilton, and I was dropped off on Kuhio Street, which wasted a lot of time. I thought they would drop me off first.

If it weren't for that, I would have given it a perfect score.

一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、やっとハワイで実現できました。日本と違って波の力が、違うの為？可なんと、一発で立つことができました。波にあわせてこがなけばいけないのですが、2、3回もすると腕が上がらなくなり、その度にコーチが後ろから押してくれ何回も立てることができ最高でした。
最後に、帰りに送ってもらう時にホテルは、WHITE SANDS HOTELでしたが、アラワイを、通りヒルトン等を通り、クヒオ通りで降ろされメチャクチャ遠回りになり、時間が無駄になりました。最初に下ろしてくれるかなと思ったのですが。
これさえなければ、満点をあげるところでした。

I participated as part of a beginner group. It was great to have a Japanese instructor who taught us various things. However, I ended up purchasing a $30 photo CD-ROM (which contained pictures taken by the school during the lesson), but unfortunately, almost all the photos were backlit and only showed shadows. Moreover, most of the pictures were of other surfers, leaving me wondering what the purpose of the purchase was...

It was so much fun! とにかく楽しい

Reviewed by: チョコラパパ

At 56 years old, I took on my first challenge. I was the only man among young women, along with my wife and daughter. Perhaps because of that, I was mostly left alone. The pre-coaching and advice on the water were spot on, and I was able to ride from the very beginning. It felt great, and I spent quite a long time on the board, so paddling back to shore was tough. My knees were sore from rubbing against the board, but it was an incredibly fun time. The feeling of riding the waves and gliding over the ocean was the best. I also received an original shirt, and the images of the 30 CD were very beautiful and well-captured, making it a great value for the price. I'm really glad I participated. Compared to various shops, this was the best one.

ボードを両足で挟み込んで膝の内側が擦れていたかったのですが、とにかく楽しい時間でした。
波に乗れている感覚、海の上を滑るような感覚、最高でした。

I experienced surfing for the first time. All the instructions and explanations were in English, and I was really anxious at first, but there was someone who could speak Japanese, so they explained everything in Japanese, which made me feel relieved. After the explanation, we headed straight to the beach!! From there, we immediately went out to the ocean and started surfing. It was scary at first, but once I was able to ride the wave, I became hooked! They also provided transportation back, and I truly made wonderful memories! I definitely want to surf again.

Surfing for the first time at 41. 41にして初めてのサーフィン

Reviewed by: audittq

I usually work at a desk and my body is on the verge of being overweight. I don't exercise on my days off, and I wasn't particularly good at sports when I was younger.

At 41, I decided to challenge myself and try surfing. Thanks to the buoyant board and clear instructions, I was able to ride the waves. Of course, I didn't succeed every time.

I tend to focus on appearances, so I was tempted to ride a cool board, but I realized I needed to enjoy the thrill of catching waves first. My overall impression? It was fun (especially when I managed to ride).

There were mostly foreigners, but they gathered some Japanese people and taught us in broken Japanese, which was actually simple and easy to understand. Be prepared for tired arms from paddling back to shore after each ride. The next day, my whole body was in pain!

普段はデスクワーク。体はメタボ寸前。休みに運動するでなく、若いころは運動が得意。というわけでもなく。
こんな僕が、41歳にしてサーフィンにチャレンジ。
浮力が大きなボードと判りやすいレクチャーのおかげで、波に乗ることができました。
もちろん、100発100中ではないですが。
格好から入りがちな僕は、カッコいいボードに乗ってみたい気もしましたが、まずは波に乗る楽しさを味合わないことには始りませんからね。
感想は、楽しいですよ。（乗れた時はね）
外国人が半分以上でしたが、日本人を集めてくれて、片言の日本語で教えてくれます。逆にシンプルで判り易かったです。
乗っては沖に戻るので、水を掻く腕が疲れることは覚悟が必要です。翌日、体中に痛みが!!!!!

What do you think??? どうなんでしょうか？？？

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

First of all, I felt anxious that I didn't receive any emails other than the automated reply, so I called the local office, but there was no staff who could speak Japanese, so I couldn't confirm my reservation. However, later I received a call from this site and an email confirming my reservation, which relieved me.

There was no particular communication on-site either (I received a call from another company I booked through this site), but the staff arrived a little late for the scheduled pickup.

Initially, I had requested a female instructor when making the reservation, but a male instructor showed up.

It was clearly stated that there might be cases where my request could not be accommodated.

However, I felt that it was inconsiderate of them to send a male staff member who couldn't speak Japanese, especially since they knew I could only speak Japanese when I called in advance.

I was drawn to the words "Japanese is fine. Female instructor." when making the reservation, but this response was far from satisfactory.

まず、自動返信以外のサンクスメール等がこないことに不安を感じてこちらから現地に電話したが日本語が通じるスタッフがいなかったので予約確認が出来なかったが、後ほどこのサイトから電話があったこと、予約確認が取れている旨のメールが来たので一安心。

現地でも特になんの連絡も無かったが（このサイトで予約した他の会社からは電話がきた）当日の時間にちょい遅れでスタッフがピックアップに。

まず今回予約の時点で女性インストラクターを希望していたのに男性がくる。

これは希望に添えない場合もあると明記されていた。

しかし事前に電話した際に日本語しか話せないことがわかっているのにも関わらず日本語が話せない、しかも希望とは違う男性スタッフとは、こちらのことを全く考えていないと感じました。

日本語で大丈夫。女性インストラクター。の言葉に惹かれて予約したのにこの対応ではとても満足できるものではありません。
