All Reviews for Surfing Lessons & Wave Pools

They provided long-sleeved rash guards for everyone, and we first received an explanation while looking at photos in the office before moving to the beach for practice. At first, I was a bit confused being back in the ocean after a long time, but I was able to get the hang of it quicker than I expected, and it felt amazing! Paddling was tough, but they helped us out, and they encouraged us to stretch from time to time, so there were no aftereffects (laughs). I just had a great time. At the end, they gave each pair a DVD with our photos, which was lucky! One person had to pay for it, so I recommend participating in pairs! They also provided transportation back to the hotel, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time; I think I'm going to get hooked on surfing! ^ ^♡

長袖のラッシュガードを全員に貸してくれて、まずオフィスで写真を見ながら説明を受け、ビーチに移動して練習。初めは久しぶりの海に戸惑ったけど思ったよりすぐに乗れるようになって本当に気持ちよかった！！パドリングがキツかったけど助けてくれるし、時々ストレッチを促してくれるから後遺症もなく(笑)ただただ楽しめました。最後に自分たちの写真を収めたDVDを2人1組で1枚プレゼントしてくれてlucky！1人の人は有料になってたので2人組で参加することをお勧めします！帰りもホテルまで送迎してくれるし、みっちり楽しめてサーフィンにハマりそうです^ ^♡

I was worried about my physical stamina, but I enjoyed it enough. I would like to use it again. I got tired from paddling, but it was fun!

体力的に心配してましたが、十分に楽しめました。
また利用したいですね。
パドルでバテましたが面白かったッス。

My husband wanted to try surfing, so I joined him. It was my first experience with surfing.

We were picked up by car on the way there, and since the hotel (Moana Surfrider) was close, we walked back afterward. It took about 10 minutes.

The staff at the reception spoke Japanese, which made me feel very comfortable during the lesson. I also received a CD with photos taken during the lesson, and it was a really great experience. I participated thinking I would just be a companion, so I didn't have much stamina and had to return to the beach partway through (laughs). Paddling is quite tiring!!

夫がサーフィンをやってみたいと言うので参加しました。サーフィンは初体験でした。
行きは車で迎えに来てもらい、帰りはホテル（モアナサーフライダー）が近かったので歩いて帰りました。10分くらいです。

受付スタッフは日本語を喋れるかただったのでとても安心して受講できました。
レッスン中の写真を撮ったCDRもいただき、とても良い体験ができました。
私は付き添い程度のつもりで参加したので、体力もなく途中でビーチに帰らせてもらいました（笑）パドリング、結構疲れます!!

We requested private lessons for our son (11 years old), father (49 years old), and mother (43 years old). Our son had the pleasure of attending twice during our stay.

It was the first time for our entire family to try surfing. Once we entered the ocean, each of us had a one-on-one lesson with an instructor. At first, we were filled with anxiety: Would we understand what the instructor was saying? Could we stand up? Is it really okay to come this far out? However, all those worries disappeared after the very first attempt! Although we struggled to stand up and fell quite a bit, the instructor was incredibly kind! No matter how many times we failed, he encouraged us with praise.

He spoke some Japanese, so there was never a moment where we felt lost in understanding. When he taught us the timing to catch the waves, the board started moving at high speed, and I panicked, unable to do what I had learned, which resulted in more falls. I felt sorry for not being able to do it well despite his earnest teaching, but each time, he patiently reminded me to "Relax! Remember how to do it!" Following his instructions, I was finally able to stand up! It was an indescribably amazing feeling!

Our son progressed much faster than us and was having so much fun that he was completely hooked! So, we decided to request another lesson for him the day before our return (the parents refrained due to budget and stamina). I was also happy that the receptionist was a Japanese woman, and we were able to chat a lot.

The instructor for this lesson was different from the last, but he was also wonderful, and we had a fantastic time. The photos taken with the instructor are treasures for our son.

If we had plenty of money and time, we would love to stay at the Park Shore Hotel where the school is located and attend lessons every day during our stay in Hawaii!

息子(11歳)、父(49歳)、母(43歳)でプライベートレッスンをお願いしました。息子は滞在中２回お世話になりました。
家族全員人生初のサーフィントライでした。海へ入るとそれぞれ先生がマンツーでレッスンスタートとです。 先生の言ってることがわかるのか？立てるのか？こんな沖まで来ちゃって大丈夫なの⁇ 最初はドキドキしまくりでしたが、そんな不安は最初の１回目のトライで吹き飛びました(*^▽^*) 立てない、落ちまくりでしたが、先生がとにかく優しい‼︎‼︎ 何度失敗しても褒めて育ててくれます(^o^)
日本語をまじえて言ってくださるので、理解できなくて困ることはありませんでした。波に乗るタイミングを先生が教えてくれた時にはボードが猛スピードで進み始めているのでテンパって習ったとおりにできない＝立てない、落ちる を連発。あんなに一生懸命教えてくださるのになかなかうまくできなくて申し訳ない気持ちでしたが、その度に「リラックス！やり方を思い出して！」と根気強く教えてくれ、先生の言うことをちゃんとやれば立てましたー‼︎ もう言い表せない最高の気分でした！
息子は親達よりもはるかに上達が早く、楽しくて仕方がない‼︎と、どハマりでした。ならば‼︎と帰国前日に息子のみもう一度レッスンをお願いしました。(親達は予算と体力の都合上自粛) この日は受付が日本人女性でたくさんお話しができたのも嬉しかったです。
レッスンは前回と違う先生でしたが、またとてもステキな先生でとても素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。先生と撮った写真が息子の宝物です。
お金も時間もたくさんあるならスクールの入っているパークショアホテルに宿泊して毎日レッスンに通うハワイ滞在を過ごしてみたいと話しています(๑>◡<๑)

I participated alone, but I had a great time! The waves were calm, making it perfect for beginners. I thought I wouldn't be able to take any photos since I was by myself, but I was so touched to receive the photo data at the end! The private lesson for two hours was quite intense, and I ended up with sore muscles. Haha!

一人での参加でしたが楽しめました！波が穏やかで初心者におススメです。一人での参加だったので写真取れないなぁと思っていたら、最後に写真データをもらえて感動でした！！プライベートレッスン2時間は結構ハードで筋肉痛になりました。笑

We were a group of two Japanese people and three Asians. The lecture was given in English, but I somehow understood it through gestures. They pushed the board from behind and taught us the timing to catch the waves, so I was able to stand up. It was fun.

我々日本人二人とアジア人３人のグル－プで。英語でレクチャーされたが手振り身振りでなんとなくわかった。ボ－ドを後ろから押してくれて波に乗るタイミングを教えてくれるので、立てました。楽しかった。

I participated in a different tour this time. At first, the English explanation was hard to understand, and I was really worried if I would be able to ride. However, I was able to ride from the first time. Since I had my first experience two years ago, I wonder if my body remembered it? I was able to fully enjoy the time until the end, and since it takes time to get to the waves, there was no need to wait even with a large group; the group lesson was more than enough.

前回と違うツアーに参加しました。最初英語の説明でわかりにくく本当に乗れるのかな？と不安でしたが１回目から乗れました。二年前に初めて経験していたので体も覚えていたのかな？あとは時間まで十分に満喫できました、波のところまで行くのに時間もかかるので大勢でも待つことはなくグループレッスンで十分ですよ。

I was exhausted, but it was a fun experience. I drank a lot of seawater, couldn't stand up while surfing, and got sunburned all over, but it felt like Hawaii!

くたくたに疲れたけど楽しい体験でした。海水いっぱい飲んだし、サーフィン立てなかったし、日焼けで真っ赤になったけどハワイ〜って感じ

The school was great. We caught lots of waves and Adam was a great instructor.

Even as a beginner, I was able to stand up on the board in just one try! The teaching method and guidance were so good that I was truly impressed. There was also a girl around 5 years old from the same school standing up next to me, and she was actually better than us! At the end, they gave us a CD-R with photos (for free), and they took quite a few pictures, which really increased my satisfaction!

初めてでも一回でたてる！教え方、押し方？が上手なのか初めてでも立てて感動しました。横では同じスクールの5歳くらい？の女の子も立てていました(^^)むしろ私たちより上手でした。
最後に写真をCD-Rをプレゼント(無料)してくれ結構たくさん写真撮ってて下さっていてさらに満足値があがりました！

My husband and son participated. They said it was their first time surfing, and they had a lot of fun, even more than they expected. My husband said we definitely should do it, so next time, I would love for my daughter and me to join as well.

夫と息子が参加しました。
初めてのサーフィン、予想以上に乗れて
楽しかったと言ってました。
絶対やった方がいいと夫が言ってくれたので、
次回は私と娘も是非参加したいです。

The instructor is kind of young but they are really enthusiastic.Indeed it is very helpful and my families do really have a goodddd time. I especially appreciate that cheerful attitude which make you feel comfortable for the whole surfing time.

The 3 guys did an excellent job going over safety an simple instructions in the classroom, on the beach the were patient and helpful. I was satisfied with the results!

We participated as a couple.
They provided transportation, and there are staff members who speak Japanese, so those who are worried about English can feel at ease!
The lessons are given with simple Japanese instructions, so there are no problems at all.
There are multiple opportunities to catch waves, so I believe anyone can learn to stand up!
Finally, we also received a group photo at the end.
We made wonderful memories.

カップルでの参加でした。
送迎も頂き、日本語を話せるスタッフもいるので英語で心配な方でも安心です！
レッスンも簡単な日本語で指示してもらえるので全く問題ありません。
何度も波に乗るチャンスがあるので誰でも立てるようになると思います！
最後にグループで1枚写真の入ったデータももらえますよ。
素敵ないい思い出ができました。

Surfing for the first time in 13 years!
I was able to stand up on the board in just one try, and the waves and instruction were great.
It's an English lesson, but they also speak in Japanese, and because it's an English lesson, I was able to make friends from other countries as well. It was the best!

13年ぶりのサーフィン！
1回で立てたのも、波も指導も良かったから^ ^
英語レッスンですが、日本語も交えて話してくれるし、英語レッスンだからこそ、他の国の友達もできたし最高です！

I had no experience with surfing, but I really wanted to try it, so even though my schedule was tight, I participated on the first day of my arrival.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful! Surfing was tough, but it was fun. The instructor was very experienced and kept encouraging us to try as many times as we could until we felt we couldn't anymore (laughs).
The data was delivered quickly too! Thank you very much!

サーフィンは未経験でしたが、ぜひやって見たいと思い、日程がキツかったのですが、到着初日に参加しました。
海がめちゃくちゃ綺麗！サーフィンはしんどかったですが、楽しかったです。先生は教え慣れていて、無理というまで、何回でもやらされます(笑
データもすぐに届きました！ありがとうございました！

I was worried about whether I could do it properly, but I received thorough instruction and had a lot of fun surfing! Thank you for taking so many photos (≧∇≦). I would love to participate again if there's another opportunity.

ちゃんと出来るか不安でしたが、しっかりレクチャーして頂きとても楽しくサーフィン出来ました！
写真も沢山撮って頂きありがとうございました（≧∇≦）また機会あれば参加したいです。

I participated with my wife, who had her wedding ceremony in Hawaii on the 13th. It was both of our first times surfing. Since I had experience with snowboarding, I was able to catch waves from the first try. My wife was also able to ride well from her second attempt! Riding the waves and returning to the point used muscles I had never used before, and I was really exhausted. However, the instructor was very kind and taught us even though his Japanese was limited, and I was very satisfied! For those trying it for the first time, it can be hard to get into in Japan, but I think it's great to challenge yourself in Hawaii!

13日にハワイで式を挙げた嫁と参加しました。
2人ともサーフィンは初めてでした。私はスノーボードをやってたこともあり、1回目から波にのることが出来ました。嫁も2回目からしっかりのれていました！
波にのっては、ポイントに戻りで今まで使ったことのない筋肉をつかい、すごくバテました。。
でも、インストラクターの方も片言の日本語とはいえ、優しく教えてくれて大満足でした！！
初めての方も、日本ではなかなか手が出ませんが、ハワイでチャレンジしてみるのもいいと思います！

We participated in a surfing lesson starting at 9 AM as a couple. There was a Japanese staff member, so we could join without any inconvenience even though we couldn't speak English. They also helped us paddle from behind, so since it was our first time surfing, we were able to stand on the board. With two or more participants, we received a DVD of the photos, and all the staff members were very kind, so we were extremely satisfied.

朝９時からのサーフィン教室に夫婦で参加しました。
スタッフの方には日本人の方もいたので、英語ができなくても不便なく参加できました。
パドルも後ろから押してもらえたので、初めてのサーフィンでしたら、板の上で立つこともできました。
２人以上の参加で写真のDVDももらえ、スタッフの方も親切な方ばかりでしたので、大変満足です。

It was my first time surfing, but thanks to the longboard, it was easy to ride! Although it mentioned that the lessons would be in English, I was pleasantly surprised that they spoke to me in Japanese, which made it easier for me to enjoy surfing!

初めてのサーフィンでしたがロングボードのおかげで簡単に乗れました！また英語でのレッスンと書いてありましたが、意外と日本語で話しかけてくれて安心してサーフィンを楽しむ事が出来ました！

There are people who can speak Japanese, so the procedures can be done smoothly. The lessons are in English, but the explanations using physical demonstrations make it easy to understand.

日本語を話せる方もいて手続き等はスムーズにできます。レッスンは英語ですが、体を使っての説明なのでわかりやすいです。

I participated in a group lesson. The instructor was very kind and taught us in a detailed manner, which was great.

グループレッスンに参加しました。インストラクターの方がとても親切で丁寧に教えてくれたので、よかったです。

I saw that they were giving away a photo DVD (worth $25) as a nice keepsake, so my wife and I signed up for a semi-private lesson. After the lesson, we received a DVD that contained a total of 435 photos, but we only appeared in 27 of them. Moreover, 11 of those were of us paddling back to shore. Including blurry and poorly taken shots, there were only 16 decent photos of us standing. There were about 10 good photos in total. I will never use this school again.

☆レッスン中の写真DVD（$25相当）をプレゼント！☆ と書いていたので良い記念になると思って、家内と２人でセミプライベートレッスンを申し込んだ。
レッスン後に受け取ったDVDには全部で435枚の写真が入っていたが、そのうちで自分たちが映っていたのはたったの27枚。
しかも、そのうちの11枚は岸に戻ってくるパドリング姿。
落ちかけやピンボケを含んで立っている姿は２人合わせてたったの16枚。
まともな写真は10枚程度。
2度とここのスクールを使うことは無い。

Everyone was really nice, and I had a great time!! The water was shallow enough to stand, which was reassuring. The waves kept coming, and they were gentle, making it easy for beginners to ride, which was great!! The instructor was friendly and made it fun ( ¨̮ )

However, after the session, there was no explanation about when we could go back or if there would be a bus to take us. When I asked, I was told the bus wouldn't come for 40 minutes, so I ended up walking back. That was a bit disappointing...

とてもみんないい人ばかりで楽しかったです！！
深さも足がつくくらいだったので安心でした。
波も次々に来てたくさん出来たし緩い波だったので初心者には乗りやすくて良かったです！！
インストラクターの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです( ¨̮ )

ただ終わってからがいつ帰っていいとかバスで送迎してくれるとかの説明が無く、聞いたらバスが40分来ないと言われ結局歩いて帰りました。
そこだけが少し残念でした、、、

Had a great time with these ladies! They did an awesome job explaining and teaching us what to do. Would definitely surf with them again!

It was our first surfing lesson, and with the instructor encouraging the whole family to "paddle! paddle!" we were able to stand on the board. Carrying the board was surprisingly hard, and paddling also took a lot of energy, so we had plenty of fun in an hour and a half. We were also happy to receive cute T-shirts!

はじめてのサーフィンレッスンでしたが、家族全員、先生に「ﾊﾟﾄﾞﾙ！ﾊﾟﾄﾞﾙ！」と言われながら押してもらうことで、ボードに立つことが出来ました♥
ボードの運搬などが、意外とハードで、パドリングも体力を使うので、一時間半で充分楽しめました。
可愛いTシャツも嬉しかったです＼(^-^)／

It was my very first time surfing, but I was glad that the instruction was easy to understand for beginners.

サーフィンをするのは全くの初めてでしたが、初心者にもわかりやすく指導してくれてよかったです。

Will, CJ and the staff were awesome. Highly recommend HH

Knowledgable, competent instructors. They were very kind to my wife, as this was her first time to surf.

We participated as a couple. Since it was our first time surfing, we were quite anxious, but we had a lot of fun! There were Japanese staff members, so it was fine for those who don't understand English.
We joined a lesson around 8 AM on February 24, and it was pretty cold. (laughs)
In the end, we even received a free T-shirt, and we were very satisfied! Thank you!

カップルで参加させていただきました。はじめてサーフィンするのでかなり不安でしたが、十分に楽しめました！日本語のスタッフさんもいるので、英語がわからない方でも大丈夫でしたよ。
2月24日あたり朝8時からのレッスンに参加しましたが、かなり寒いです。笑
最後には無料のTシャツまでいただけて大満足です！ありがとうございました！
