ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン
I thoroughly enjoyed my first surfing experience! 初サーフィン満喫しました！
Reviewed by: 30代会社員
I participated with a friend. We were picked up by car from the hotel and gathered at the office near the beach for a short lecture while watching a video, then headed to the beach for a surfing experience. There are lockers available for personal belongings. When I asked the staff if there was a security box, they lent me a key that could be attached to the locker. I put my passport and wallet there without any issues.
I brought a rash guard just in case, but there were plenty available for rent, and my friend borrowed one without any problems. I was worried about not understanding English, but they provided an instructor who spoke Japanese, so there were no language issues.
There were five people in the group, and some participants were there alone. Once we got into the water to start surfing, it was a cycle of getting on the surfboard, being swept close to the shore, paddling out, and getting back on the board, so I think being alone wouldn’t be a problem.
As others have mentioned, you can generally ride the waves. Let's try to enjoy as much as we can within the time! One thing to be cautious about is the rocks and coral under the water. I injured my foot relatively early on, but I continued without worrying too much.
Even if you get hurt, there are first aid supplies at the office, and I used them as well. This became my best memory of my stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much!
友達と2人で参加しました。
ホテルに車で迎えに来てもらい、ビーチ近くの事務所に集まり、動画を見ながら短時間の講習、ビーチに行ってサーフィン体験という流れです。
私物はロッカーがあり、入れられます。
事務所の方に、セキュリティボックスはあるか聞くと、鍵を貸してもらえ、ロッカーに取り付けられます。パスポートや財布はそこに入れ、問題ありませんでした。
ラッシュガードは念のため買って行きましたが、貸し出し用のものがたくさんあり、友達はふつうに借りていました。
英語がわからず不安でしたが、日本語が話せるインストラクターの方をわざわざつけていただき、言葉の問題はありませんでした。
グループは5人で、1人で参加している方もいました。実際、海に出てサーフィンに乗り出すと、サーフィン乗る→岸付近に流される→沖までパドリング→サーフィン乗るの繰り返しなので、1人でも気にならないと思います。
あとは他の方の体験にあるように、基本的に乗れます。時間内で出来るだけトライして楽しみましょう^_^
一点だけ、海面下にある、岩やサンゴには気をつけましょう。私も足を割と序盤に怪我しました。気にせず続けましたが。
怪我しても応急処置用品は事務所にあり、私も使わせてもらいました。
ハワイ滞在で一番の思い出になりました^_^
ありがとうございました！

The staff spoke very friendly Japanese and chatted with us the whole time, which was really fun. They helped us catch waves that were easy to ride, and I was able to stand up! I even felt like I wanted to challenge myself with slightly bigger waves! It was that fulfilling!

ワイキキビーチ サーフィン1時間プライベートレッスン ＜1～4名まで／ロイヤルハワイアンホテル＞
It was interesting. 面白かった
Reviewed by: Ken
I participated in a lesson at 8:30 AM with one adult and one 6-year-old child. It was my first experience with surfing, and since I'm not a strong swimmer, I was quite nervous. I walked to Waikiki Beach to ensure I wouldn't be late for the meeting time, and I was immediately impressed by the wonderful location!
With my excitement building, the lesson began with a one-on-one session with an American trainer. He mixed in some broken Japanese and gave us simple explanations on the beach before we quickly grabbed our surfboards and headed to the ocean. Before I knew it, we started practicing standing on the board, following the American style of teaching.
Despite some failures and being guided by the trainer, I managed to stand up on the board. A photographer also entered the water and captured amazing footage, making the dream-like experience pass by in no time.
Even after returning home, I'm still excited while watching the footage. Thank you for the fun lesson!
朝1番8:30からの予約で大人一人と6歳の子供一人の二人で参加しました サーフィンは初めての経験で泳ぎも得意ではないので内心ビクビクでした 集合時間に遅れない様歩いてワイキキビーチに行き先ずは素晴らしいロケーションに感動!
テンションが高まる中でアメリカ人トレーナーと一対一でレッスン開始 片言の日本語を交え簡単な浜辺での説明を受けて早速サーフボードを抱えて海へ あれよあれよと思う中 習うより慣れろとばかりにボードに立つ練習開始 聞いてはいましたがアメリカ流レッスンです
トレーナーに乗せられ失敗しながらも何とか立ち上がれました カメラマンも海に入って素晴らしい映像も撮っていただき夢のような時間があっという間に過ぎ去りました
帰国後も映像を観ながら盛り上がっています 楽しいレッスンありがとうございました

First experience 初めて体験
Reviewed by: HYOGO
I experienced this with my son. Those who understood Japanese seemed to have a little bit of Korean, but everyone was kind, and both my child and I had fun riding together. When we got tired of paddling, they pulled us along and took us to the waves. However, the only downside was that there were no photos taken. Also, I wasn't sure who Hands was or if he was even there, as the young guys were the ones teaching us. Next time, I want to bring my own GoPro.
息子と2人で体験しました。
日本語がわかるかたは韓国の方が少し出来る感じでしたが、皆さん優しくて子供も私も立てて乗れて楽しかったです。
パドリングも疲れたら、ずっと引っ張って波まで連れていってくれました。
ただ、残念なのは写真が一枚もなかった事かな。
後、ハンズさんは一体誰なのか、いないのかよくわからないまま若いお兄ちゃん達が教えてくれました。
次回は自分のゴープロ持参で行きたいです

I had my first surfing experience! I was a bit anxious since I signed up the day before and wasn't sure if my reservation was confirmed, but I received a confirmation email, which put my mind at ease! There was a Japanese person at the shop's reception who I could ask questions to, so my pre-trip worries were resolved, which was great. They were kind to us, even though we were a bit clumsy, and we made wonderful memories on our trip! (I was able to stand up properly, too!)

My first surfing experience! 初めてのサーフィン！
Reviewed by: たかし
We participated at my wife's request, saying, "Since we're going to Hawaii, I want to ride the waves." Both of us had never surfed before, and we were anxious about whether we could actually stand on the surfboard, but thanks to the instructor's careful guidance, we were able to ride the waves successfully.
The feeling of standing on the board and gliding smoothly was amazing. During the experience, another staff member took photos of us surfing with a DSLR camera, and when we returned to the classroom, they provided the photos on a USB memory stick for $35 (additional charge). It became a wonderful memory.
「せっかくハワイに行くので、波にのりたい」という妻のリクエストで参加しました。二人ともサーフィンは未体験で果たしてサーフボードの上に立てるのか、不安もありましたが、先生が丁寧に教えてくれたこともあり、無事波に乗ることができました。
ボードに立ち、滑るように進んだ時の感覚は最高でした。
体験中には別のスタッフの方が一眼レフでサーフィン中の写真を撮ってくれていて、教室に戻るとUSBメモリで提供してくれます(35ドル、別料金)。最高の思い出になりました。

I participated in a morning group lesson by myself. Before going, I had some anxiety about attending alone, but there were three other people, and we quickly bonded and shared a fun time together. As for the lesson itself, we used a board that was significantly longer than usual. When the waves came, the instructor pushed the board for us, so we were able to catch the waves right away, which was a lot of fun. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

This was my second time in Hawaii. While I admired the surfers riding the waves with such ease, I was filled with anxiety about handling a longboard and the rules in the water, so I thought it would be dangerous and decided to participate in a lesson with my husband.
Even as people in their 40s, we were able to fully enjoy the surfing experience thanks to the kind coaches who sent us out at the best timing for the good waves.
The next day, I thought about renting a board at the beach, but a local Japanese person warned me, "It's very dangerous, so be careful!" and I decided against it. I'm really glad I signed up for this group lesson. I highly recommend it.
2回目のハワイ。気持ちよさそうに波乗りをするサーファーに憧れる一方、ロングボードの扱い方、海の中でのルールなど不安なことだらけだったのでやっぱり危ないだろうなぁと思い、こちらのレッスンに夫婦で参加しました。
40代の私たちも親切なコーチが順番にいい波にベストなタイミングで送り出してくださったので、波乗り気分は充分に味わえました。
次の日にビーチでボードを借りようかなと思ったのですが、ローカルの日本人に「とっても危ないので気をつけて‼︎」と言われ、借りるのは断念しました。こちらのグループレッスンに申し込んでおいて、本当に良かったと思います。お勧めします。

This is for first-timers.
The staff will push the board for you, so anyone can ride the waves.
You can get a feel for the take-off.
Since you ride the waves in order at the same spot and can't choose your own waves, it's recommended for anyone who has done it at least once to take a private lesson.

There isn't much politeness. 丁寧さはあまりない
Reviewed by: WASA
I made a reservation through SUP and brought the voucher, but it seemed the staff wasn't very familiar with it, and initially, they mistook it for a rental. They also said that due to the waves that day, SUP would be dangerous, that there would be no refund for cancellations, and suggested switching to surfing. I thought it was a shame that I wouldn't get my money back if the weather prevented us from doing it.
The Japanese staff at the reception wasn't very friendly, which was a bit disappointing.
The instructor was kind and great. I was able to ride the waves. However, since there were many people around, it felt a bit dangerous as I was worried about colliding with someone. In a semi-private lesson, there are times when you end up alone, and you might be far from the instructor, so I think it's better for those who are anxious to opt for a one-on-one lesson.
I tried another surf school on a different day, and I found that one to be better, so I don't think I'll be returning here.
SUPで予約してバウチャーを持って行きましたが、受付があまり把握してない様子で、最初レンタルと勘違いされました。
また、その日の波だとSUPは危ない、キャンセル料はきかない、サーフィンに変えた方がいい、と言われ、サーフィンに。天候で出来ない場合にお金が戻らないのは勿体無いな、と思いました。
受付の日本人があまり愛想はなかったのが少し残念。
インストラクターは優しい良い方でした。波にも乗れました。ただ、場所的に人が多くいるので、ぶつかりそうで危なかったです。セミプライベートだと、どうしても1人になる時間があり、インストラクターと遠く離れるときがあるので、不安な方はマンツーマンにした方が良いかと思います。
別の日に他のサーフスクールでも体験し、そちらの方が良かったので、ここでのリピートはないかなと思います。

I was really anxious since I was participating alone, but the pickup driver was friendly and spoke to me in Japanese, which made me forget my worries because he was really funny. The person who actually taught us how to surf didn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem at all. The waves were small, so I was able to stand up, but if I could wish for something, I would have liked to ride slightly bigger waves for a longer time. I also enjoyed the conversation with the staff who spoke Japanese after we finished. Everyone on the staff was nice, and I'm satisfied with my choice to surf here for my first time. Additionally, there was a note in the email advising not to bring valuables, so I didn't take any money and couldn't give a tip, but it seems fine to bring valuables since you can store your belongings inside the shop!
１人参加でしたので凄く不安でしたが、ピックアップのドライバーの方が気さくに日本語で喋りかけてくれてしかも凄く面白くって不安だった気分を忘れさせてくれました。実際にサーフィンを教えてくれる人は日本語喋れませんが特に問題はなかったです。小さい波なので立てる事は出来ましたが欲を言えばもう少し大きい波で長く波に乗りたかったです。終わった後に日本語の話せるスタッフとの会話も楽しかったです。スタッフの方はみんないい人で初めてのサーフィンにここを選んで満足しています。後、メールで貴重品は持って来ないよう注意書があったのでお金を持って行かなかったのでチップをあげれませんでしたが荷物は店の中に預けるので貴重品持って行っても大丈夫そうですよ！

It was my first time, but I was able to ride the waves! Everyone was very kind and taught us well. We were divided into two groups, with one teacher who was very attentive (possibly a teacher for smaller classes) and another who encouraged us to practice more. I ended up with the practice-oriented teacher, so I was able to ride the waves many times. However, it really requires a lot of stamina, so it's best to be prepared. I got tired halfway through.
Also, the next day, you will definitely feel quite sore! But I’m glad I did it.
As a note, it's better to eat lightly before surfing. My husband ate too much for breakfast and ended up feeling sick, so he could only ride the waves twice and spent most of the time watching from the beach (laughs).
初めてだけど、波に乗れました！みなさん丁寧に教えてくれます。
2つグループに分かれていて、丁寧に教えてくれる先生（もしかしたら少人数レッスンの先生かも）とどんどん実践をさせる先生がいました。

ただ、本当に体力が必要なので、心して行ったほうが良いです。私は途中でバテてしまったので。
あと、次の日はかなり筋肉痛になります！でもやってよかったです。
注意点としては、サーフィン前のご飯は少なめのほうが良いです。一緒に行った夫は朝ごはんを食べすぎてしまい、気持ち悪くなって2本しか波に乗れず、ほとんど浜辺で見ていました（苦笑）

I participated in a plan with hotel pickup on Sunday morning. A Japanese female staff member came to pick us up, and out of the 12 participants, 10 were Japanese.
At the beach, three staff members assisted us, so for beginners, joining a group is more than enough. When the waves came, they pushed the boards and signaled with simple Japanese phrases like "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" The lessons took place close to the shore where it was just shallow enough to stand. That said, we were in Hawaii, and there were plenty of waves for practice. After a while, some skilled participants were taken out to the ocean by one of the veteran staff members.
We were a couple in our 40s and 50s, the oldest participants. We usually exercise by hiking, but it required quite a bit of stamina. The other participants were mostly in their 30s, and you could clearly see who was tired and who wasn't. If you get tired, you can just float in the sea, but if you want to ride the waves, you obviously have to paddle out each time.
As mentioned in other experiences, there are no lockers for valuables. Everyone just places their belongings on a shelf in a visible area, but there always seem to be at least two staff members in the shop, and since it's a store, there are customers coming and going. It's best to bring only the minimum necessary, like some dollars for tips, to feel secure. There are no separate changing areas, so on the way back, you'll be putting clothes over your wet swimsuit. When I read about this in other reviews, I thought, "Oh no," but in the Hawaiian sun and atmosphere, it didn't bother me at all.
ホテル送迎付きのプランで、日曜の午前中に参加しました。日本人の女性スタッフが迎えに来てくれ、参加者12人中10人が日本人でした。
海では３人ものスタッフが付いてくれましたので、初心者にはグループ参加で十分です。波が来たらボードを押してくれ、「漕いでー!」「立ってー!」とカタコトの日本語で合図してくれます。レッスンは、ギリギリ、足で立てる岸辺に近い場所で行われます。だからと言ってそこはハワイ、練習には十分な波がきます。しばらくすると、上手な数人は、ベテランらしきスタッフの1人が沖まで連れて行ってくれていました。
当方40代と50代の夫婦で、最年長参加者でした。普段から登山をして運動しているのですが、相当な体力が要りました。他の皆さんは30代までですが、疲れている様子の人とそうでない人がはっきり分かれていました。疲れたらずっと海に漂っていればいい訳ですが、波に乗りたければ、当然、毎回パドリングして沖まで行かなければなりません。
他の体験談にもある通り、貴重品を入れるロッカーなどはありません。目立つ場所にある棚に全員の荷物を置くだけですが、お店にはいつも2人以上のスタッフが要るようですし、お店なのでお客さんの出入りもあります。最低限必要な、チップ用のドルだけを持って行かれると安心です。
仕切られた着替えるところもないので、帰りは濡れた水着の上に服を着て帰ります。他の体験談を読んだときは「えーっ」と思いましたが、ハワイの日差しと雰囲気では全く気になりませんでしたよ。

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン
Satisfying even for beginners! 初心者でも満足！
Reviewed by: トコやん
As someone in my 50s without much confidence in my physical fitness, I decided to try surfing. I participated in a group lesson, but I was able to take breaks at my own pace. It was quite challenging, but I had a great time. I successfully rode the waves a few times by following the instructions I was given, which made me very satisfied. The coach was also supportive, making it easier for me to ride, and I really enjoyed it.
体力に自信のない50代で、サーフィンに挑戦
グループレッスンでの参加でしたが、自分のペースで休みながら
なので、そこそこハードでしたが楽しい時間が過ごせました。
教わった通りにやってみて何回か無事波乗り成功。満足でした。
コーチも乗りやすいようにサポートしてくれ楽しかったです。

ワイキキビーチ サーフィン1時間プライベートレッスン ＜1～4名まで／ロイヤルハワイアンホテル＞
Private lessons for my 8-year-old daughter. 8歳娘プライベートレッスン
Reviewed by: na2
I participated at the request of my 8-year-old daughter, and the location was very convenient as it was at the Royal Hawaiian Beach. Since I have a 3-year-old daughter as well, I was able to watch her play during the lesson. The instructor, Matt, spoke a little Japanese, and my daughter quickly understood and was able to stand up in the water in just about five minutes, which was surprising!
A photographer accompanied us and took pictures, so I ended up wanting to buy them. I was told that the photos alone would be $50, and if I wanted the video, it would be $80. I felt that was a bit expensive, but once I saw the video, I wanted it and ended up purchasing it...
My daughter had a great time!!
8歳の娘のリクエストで参加しましたが、場所もロイヤルハワイアンのビーチなのでとても便利でした。
下に3歳の娘がいるので、レッスン中は見ながら遊んでいました。
マット先生は日本語も少し話せて、娘も直ぐに理解して海に出てものの5分くらいで立ちビックリしました！
カメラマンも同行して、撮ってくれるので欲しくなり買いましたが写真だけなら50ドルでムービーもなら80ドルと言われ少し高いと感じましたが、ムービー見ちゃうと欲しくなり買いました…
娘はかなり楽しんでました！！
Dear na2,
Thank you very much for the 5-star review. We are truly honored that your 8-year-old daughter enjoyed surfing! We hope both parents can join next time!
We look forward to the next opportunity!

Kids' Private Lessons キッズプライベートレッスン

I requested a private lesson for my 7-year-old child's first surfing experience. The instructor didn't seem unmotivated, but I got the impression that they were just meeting the minimum requirements. My child seemed to have fun, though.

It's definitely a must for kids to debut in surfing. 子供がサーフィンデビューするには絶対ですね
Reviewed by: luna
I had my two children take one-on-one lessons. Both the staff and surfers were friendly. My kids were able to stand up during the lesson and have developed a liking for surfing. I think the most challenging part of surfing is paddling, but the surfers pull you back out to the ocean after riding the waves, making it easier to focus solely on surfing. They don't help adults much with paddling, though! I will definitely use this service again when I go to Hawaii.
子供二人を
マンツーマンのレッスンを受けさせました。
スタッフ、サーファーともにフレンドリー。
子供は、レッスン内に立てるようになりましたし、
サーフィン好きになりました。
サーフィンの中で一番大変なのが
パドリングだと思いますが
サーファーの方が、波乗りした後に
しっかり沖まで引っ張ってくれますので
楽できて、波乗りだけに専念できます。
大人には、あまりパドリングは手伝ってくれませんがｗ
また、ハワイに行く際には利用します

Take off テイクオフ
Reviewed by: hiroshi
If you're going to Hawaii, surfing is a must. In fact, I had been taken surfing three times by a junior colleague from my company before, but I couldn't manage to take off and had given up. However, I decided to join this opportunity.
I participated alone, but the driver who picked me up and the receptionist explained everything in Japanese, which was a great help since I don't understand any English at all.
Finally, we headed to the ocean at Waikiki. I received a brief lecture in English on the beach and then we quickly went into the water. The surf point was quite far from the shore, and I paddled out, but at 50 years old, I found it pretty tiring. I couldn't help but say "very tired," and the instructor responded with a smile.
I faced the board towards the shore, waited for the waves, and the nice instructor timed it perfectly, telling me when to paddle and when to go, and I successfully took off. I was so worried about taking off, but I managed to do it from the first try, and it was incredibly fun and exhilarating.
One thing to note is that while it's fine to stand, there are many rocks, so I think I need to be careful as my feet ended up all scratched. However, the waves weren't too high, and with the instructor's good timing, I believe anyone can stand up.
It was a fantastic experience. Thank you!
ハワイに行くならサーフィン
実は以前に会社の後輩に３回ほど連れて行ってもらいましたがテイクオフ出来ず諦めていたのですがこのチャンスにと参加しました
一人で参加しましたがピックアップの運転手さん受付の人が日本語で説明していただき全く英語がわからない僕ですが助かりました
いざワイキキの海へ
海岸で英語で軽くレクチャーを受け早速海へ
ポイントは岸からかなり遠くパドリングで向かいましたが50才の僕には結構疲れ"very tired"と思わず発するとニッコリと笑顔で答えられる
ボードを岸に向け波待ちインストラクターのナイスガイがタイミングをみてパドリングそしてGoと指示してもらいテイクオフ成功
あれだけ悩んでいたテイクオフが1度目から出来とても楽しく気持ち良かったです
ひとつだけ、足はつくのはいいのだが岩が多いので足が傷だらけになるので気を付けなければいけないと思います
しかし波もそんなに高くなくインストラクターのタイミングがいいので絶対に立てると思います
とても良かったですありがとうございます
