All three of us were surfing for the first time, and there were people from various countries in the same group lesson. Since my family was the only Japanese group, I felt a bit lonely at first, but we had one instructor dedicated to just the three of us, and he was fluent in Japanese, so we were able to enjoy surfing without any worries. I would like to try again when I go to Hawaii. The water was clear, the sky was blue, and we had the best time.
3人とも初めてのサーフィンで、さまざまな国の方々が同じグループのレッスンに参加されており、日本人は私の家族だけだったので、最初は少し心細く感じていましたが、私たち3人に1人の先生が専任でついて下さり、先生も日本語が堪能な方でしたので、なんの心配もなくサーフィンを楽しむことができました。またハワイに出かけたら、再度チャレンジしてみたいと思います。
水もきれいで、空も青く、最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

The pre-experience explanatory video had Japanese subtitles, and the instructors spoke Japanese, so it was not a problem if you are not fluent in English! The practical instructions were clear, and I was able to get on the board right away. There were three of us participating, but since there were two instructors, they provided guidance tailored to each participant's level, allowing us to have a meaningful experience. For those who were capable, they encouraged us to try new things, like riding the waves alongside the instructors or going out to where the big waves were. For those who were less experienced, they offered experiences in areas with moderate waves, and if someone wanted to try the big waves, they made it possible!
体験前の事前説明動画は日本語字幕があり、インストラクターの方も日本語が話せる方だったので英語が上手でなくても問題ないです!
実践もわかりやすく説明してくださり、すぐにボードに乗ることができました。3人での体験となりましたが、インストラクターの方が2名いたので体験者のレベルに合わせてインストラクターの方が指示してくれ、有意義な時間が過ごせました。出来る人にはどんどん新しいことも体験させてくれ、インストラクターの方と一緒に(隣に並んで)波に乗ったり、大きな波がある沖にいったりもしました。不慣れな人には中くらいの波のところで体験や、本人が大きな波にトライしたかったら、体験させてくれたりと、、!!

This was my second time participating alone! I'm a beginner at surfing. I had a private lesson at a different surf school once before, but the group lessons here are much more relaxed in terms of atmosphere and price, and I really like it! All the instructors are friendly, and we can enjoy chatting about surfing as well as various things about Hawaii! Depending on the day, there are instructors who can speak Japanese, and the flow of the lesson and important notes are explained in Japanese, which is reassuring. This seems like it will become my go-to in Honolulu!

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.
I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.
There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.
The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.
However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.
Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.
アラフォーですが、楽しく、厳しくサーフィンできました。
一人で参加したのですが、日本人は私一人でした。
私の時は日本語のサポートは一切ありませんでした。
とはいえ難しい英語はあまりないのでそこまで英語力は必要ないと思います。しかし、英語が全くできない、不安がある方は別の会社が安心だと思います。
二人に先生が一人付いてくれました。もう一人の人は欧米人の大きい男性だったのですが、早々に脱落し帰ってしまったので実質マンツーマンでした。
先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい!という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。
ただ、かなり日焼けします!
サーフボードにうつぶせになって波を待つのでふくらはぎと裏の太ももが真っ赤になり、軽いやけどのようになりました。長ズボンのラッシュガードを持っていたので履けばよかったと後悔しました。
本当に焼けます。これだけが注意です。
あと酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。

As a 50-year-old man, I unfortunately couldn't surf due to back pain. My two sons, a college student and a high school student, participated in a group lesson. The college student had only tried surfing once about six years ago, while this was the high school student's third experience.
First, they showed a video in the shop and explained the basics before heading to the beach, which was educational and great! Once we got to the beach, they taught us how to stand on the board and we quickly went into the sea!
As we paddled out, the instructor suddenly pushed the board towards the shore and shouted, "Paddle!" and just like that, we were surfing! Wow! I managed to stand up and rode for over 100 meters from the open sea to the shore.
After that, my sons and another participant took turns catching waves, and everyone was able to ride for a long time! However, I later heard that because the rides were long, paddling back to shore multiple times was really tough for them!
I had also requested drone footage, so they took over 150 photos and 11 videos of the two of them. The drone video was high resolution and very beautiful. It was a bit expensive, but I was satisfied.
Next time we come, I hope to receive a higher level of instruction!
50男の私は残念ながら腰痛発症でサーフィンできず。息子達二人、大学生と高校生でグループレッスンに参加しました。大学生は6年ほど前に一度体験サーフィンのみ、高校生は今回が3回目の体験サーフィン。
まず初めにショップ内でビデオを見せてくれて、基本的なことを説明受けてから浜辺に出るのが教育的で良いですね!
浜に出るとボードを使って立ち方を教えてくれてすぐに海へ!
パドリングで沖へ出ると、すぐに先生が岸に向かってボードを押し「パドリング!」っていきなり波乗り!
あら!立てた!いきなり沖から岸まで100m以上乗れました。
その後も他の参加者一人と息子達の3人で次々に波に乗り、皆、ながーく乗れました!
しかし後で聞いたら一回の乗れる距離が長いので、岸から沖まで何回もパドリングで戻るのがとても辛かったと!
ドローンの撮影も頼んでおいたので、二人で150枚以上の写真と11個のビデオを撮影してもらえました。ドローンのピデオは高解像度でとてもキレイ。ちょっと高かったけど満足しました。
次に来たら、もう一段階上の指導をして

I participated with my high school first-year daughter. Thanks to the heartfelt advice from our instructor, Ms. Lanika, my daughter was able to stand on the board and seems to have fallen in love with surfing! We considered private lessons afterward, but unfortunately, our schedules didn't align, so we had to give up on that. I apologize for not being able to get in touch. I would be thrilled if Ms. Lanika could be our instructor again when we participate together someday. Thank you so much!

We participated as a couple in our fifties.
It was our first time surfing, and I was worried because the instructions were in English.
There were two instructors for our group of six.
They were very attentive and made sure that I, the least skilled among us, wasn't left behind by frequently checking on me.
I am truly grateful for that.
During the two-hour session, I was able to ride three times.
I’m happy to have had the experience of surfing in the waters of Hawaii.
As for the drone, it cost $75 for two people.
At the same time, there was a group of eight doing SUP, and they also requested the drone.
The drone filmed both surfing and SUP with one unit.
The data we received included footage and photos of the SUP participants as well.
(I believe it was all the data captured during that time.)
This means that our footage and photos were also shared with the SUP group, which honestly bothered me.
Additionally, since surfing and SUP were conducted in slightly different locations, I think there was inevitably less footage and photos of us.
I noticed that there were more images and videos from the SUP group since their data was included as well. (Of course, the number of participants plays a role in this.)
Surfing itself was a lot of fun, and I was sore not just the next day but from that very day, but it was truly enjoyable.
When you come to Hawaii, I think engaging in activities that are characteristic of Hawaii is a great idea!

ということは、私たちの映像・写真もSUPの方たちのところに渡されているということΣ(゚д゚lll)ガーン、正直それは嫌でした。
また、サーフィンとSUPは行っている場所が少し違うので、どうしても映像・写真が少なかったと思います。
こちらにもSUPのデータがきているので、そちらの映像・写真が多いのが気になりました。(もちろん人数の比もあると思います)
サーフィン自体はとても楽しく、翌日どころかその日から筋肉痛でしたが、とても楽しかったです。

I participated alone in the afternoon. There were also people from the mainland United States and Germany participating alone, and it was a friendly lesson. First, we watched a video on how to ride inside the store, then walked a few minutes to the beach, where we received a lecture on how to ride on the sandy shore. There were five participants and two male instructors (English speakers) who assisted us. Each of us took turns riding the waves and surfing. The conditions were not great, as it was cloudy with light rain, but I was able to catch some waves. They also filmed videos with a drone. I struggled with paddling and couldn't move forward well, so the instructor hooked his foot on my board and helped me get to the point. When I couldn't stand on the board, they provided advice and taught me enthusiastically.
There are lockers with locks for your belongings. They also lend out rash guards. There was a Japanese male staff member who talked with us about various things (it seems he is in charge of the morning lessons). Both the instructors and the store staff were friendly, and I made some wonderful memories.
午後1人で参加しました。アメリカ本土やドイツなど1人で参加されている人もいて、和気あいあいなレッスンでした。店内でまず乗り方の映像をみて、数分歩いて海岸へ行き、砂浜で乗り方のレクチャーを受けます。5人参加でインストラクター男性2名(英語話者)ついてくれました。1人1人順番に波に乗せてくれ、サーフィンをしました。曇りで小雨のあまりよくないコンディションでしたが、波に乗れました。ドローンで動画撮影もしてくれます。わたしはpaddlingがうまくできなくてなかなか前へすすまず、インストラクターがわたしのボードに足をひっかけてポイントへ連れていってくれました。ボードに立てない時はアドバイスをくれるなど熱心に教えてくれます。
荷物は鍵がかかるロッカーがあります。ラッシュガードも貸してくれます。
日本人の男性スタッフの方もいて、いろいろお話してくださいました(レッスンは午前担当らしいです)。インストラクターの方もお店のスタッフもフレンドリーで楽しい思い出ができました。

My spouse and I tried surfing for the first time together. Initially, we just hoped to be able to stand up by the end of the lesson, but surprisingly, I managed to stand up on my first attempt. After repeating it several times, I was even able to strike a pose while standing by the end. Thanks to the cheerful and kind staff, we enjoyed this quick activity immensely.
It was also fun to communicate with participants from various countries while surfing (even if you can't speak English, it's fine to go with the flow; they will cheer you on if you catch a wave well). Additionally, there’s an option to have the day's activities filmed (with drone footage and photos), which I highly recommend for taking home memories.
You can store your belongings in lockers, so it's convenient during your travels. I participated right after climbing Diamond Head early in the morning, and it was no problem at all. The area around the surfing lesson has shallow waters with some rocks, so it might be good to have band-aids and disinfectant just in case.

また、オプションで当日の模様を撮影してもらうことが出来る(ドローンを用いた映像と写真)ので、思い出に持ち帰ることもおすすめです。
ロッカーに荷物を預けることができるので、旅の途中にもOK。早朝ダイヤモンドヘッド登頂からそのまま参加しましたが、問題なしです。

The day after the Honolulu Marathon was free time. Since it depended on the weather and my physical condition, I made an online reservation on-site after the marathon. It was a busy time for travelers, and many spots were already booked, but I finally found an opening for a private lesson. The price was a bit high, but it couldn't be helped. It's great that they accept participants up to 80 years old.
The reception on the day was the worst. A Japanese female staff member was in charge, and while I felt relieved at first, her attitude was extremely cold. I was given a long T-shirt for kids to wear over my swimsuit, specifically a size S for children—about 5 or 6 years old! Even when I said it was impossible, she insisted that it would be sufficient for me. Is this bullying?
The people around me sympathized and suggested that I should get an exchange, and reluctantly, they brought out a proper size from a back room. I was the only Japanese person there, but having Japanese staff didn't guarantee comfort; in fact, I learned that I could be treated poorly.
As for surfing, I was able to stand on the board and ride the waves after just two or three tries. Getting up from a prone position to standing requires leg strength. It's definitely not something to do right after a full marathon.
ホノルルマラソン翌日のフリータイム。天気と体調次第なので、マラソン終了後、現地でネット申し込みしました。旅行者が多い時期でもあり、予約は結構埋まっていて、ようやくプライベートレッスンの空きを見つけました。金額割高だけど、仕方ない。80歳までokもありがたい。
当日の受付は最悪。日本人女性スタッフが采配していて、安心したのも束の間、めちゃくちゃ塩対応。水着の上にガードの長Tシャツを着るのだが、私に渡されたのは子供用Sサイズ。5、6歳くらいの!
無理、と言っても、あなたにはそれで充分と。これってイジメ?
周りの人も見かねて、交換してもらうべきと共鳴してくれて、渋々奥の部屋からまともなサイズのを取り出してきた。
日本人は私だけでしたが、日本人スタッフがいれば安心ということでは無いな。むしろ、ゴミのような扱いを受ける場合もあると知った。
サーフィン自体は、2,3回でボードに立って波に乗る事ができた。

I tried surfing for the first time. They teach you carefully so that even beginners can understand, and when you're about to catch a wave, they guide you by saying, "Paddle and ride now!" After a few tries, I was able to ride the waves! Even in group lessons, you get to ride quite a number of waves, so I felt very satisfied.
*Tips are not included in the tour price, so it's recommended to bring cash. Depending on the group, there are usually about two trainers, so I think it's good to bring around three $10 bills.

Thank you very much for kindly instructing my family, who had the selfish desire to surf starting from New Year's Day. A long time ago, when I came to Hawaii, the lively sight of people surfing left a lasting impression on me, and I had always wanted to try surfing the next time I visited Hawaii. This time, it became a reality and a challenge after turning sixty, but I was able to experience it with my family.
The instructor was very kind and explained everything clearly. Although it was a short time, everyone managed to get on the board and even ride some waves, making us feel like we had joined the ranks of surfers. This activity became a precious page in the memories of our trip to Hawaii. I am grateful for the wonderful encounter with the instructor. Surfing is the best!

I've always wanted to try surfing. On the first day of our arrival in Hawaii, I took advantage of the time before check-in to have my first challenge with my son. We received a brief explanation on the beach, and although we were filled with anxiety, both my son and I quickly learned to ride the waves. Since there was one instructor for the two of us, we repeatedly rode the waves and returned to the shore, and the one-hour course was more than enough for us. In fact, anything longer would have been physically challenging. I was worried about bumping into others at the crowded Waikiki Beach, but the area further out was relatively less crowded, so it wasn't a problem. It became a memorable experience of surfing in Hawaii!
以前からやってみたかったサーフィン。ハワイ到着初日、チェックインまでの時間を利用して、息子と初チャレンジしました。砂浜で簡単な説明だけを受け、不安だらけでしたが、自分も息子もすぐに波に乗れるようになりました。インストラクター1人に対して、自分と息子の2人でしたので、波に乗っては冲まで戻るを繰り返し、1時間のコースで十分満足でした。むしろ、それ以上は体力的に無理でした。人が多いワイキキビーチで、他人にぶつかったりしないか心配でしたが、沖の方は比較的人が少なく、問題ありませんでした。ハワイでサーフィンをした!という思い出作りになりました。

Four years ago, I participated in this lesson for the first time. It was so impressive that during this family trip, I joined a group lesson (4 English speakers, 2 Japanese) with my younger brother.
After a general explanation, a local instructor who speaks Japanese took care of the two of us on the beach. It was like a completely private lesson! Both my brother (his first time surfing) and I (my second time) were able to ride the waves right away. In fact, I managed to ride all the waves except for one! My brother didn't fall even once! The instructor praised us a lot and also pointed out areas for improvement.
Another surfing instructor told me, "The person teaching you is really amazing."
The photos cost $50 for one participant and $75 for two. Since there's a breakwater nearby, I should have had my family come to take pictures. I didn't have the luxury of taking selfies... haha.
I was exhausted after the lesson, so I'm glad I signed up for it on the last day. I was able to sleep soundly on the plane. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in a lesson here again!

Honestly, I was a bit nervous about learning how to surf. My partner really wanted to try and we set up time with the Ohana Surf Project; let me tell you, it was worth it. The team at Ohana Surf Project are knowledgeable, fun and super helpful. They teach you all the fundamentals, make you feel comfortable in the water and are with you every step of the way. Kevin and Romeo were incredibly patient and friendly, especially for someone uncoordinated like me. If you’re telling yourself that you couldn’t do this, you can, and they can show you. They took someone like me, who can barely tie my shoes without falling over, and put me up on a board surfing a wave. If you’re reading this review trying to find the best team to help you, look no further, just book it!

She was a bit scared at first, but Matt-sensei taught her in a fun way, and before we knew it, she was doing nice rides multiple times! Despite being scared and cold, it seems she had a great time.
I was also able to ride a few times nearby with a board I rented separately, which became a wonderful memory.
Since they incorporate some Japanese while standing, I think even those who can't communicate in English can enjoy it enough. I want to go to Hawaii again soon; thank you for your help next time as well!

Since it was my first time and I was alone, I chose a private lesson. A Japanese instructor accompanied me. After a very simple lesson on land, we headed straight to the sea. Towards the end, paddling was a bit tough, but I had plenty of time to enjoy it. However, there weren't many instructions, so a private lesson might not have been necessary.
初めてで、1人だったのでプライベートを選びました。日本人のインストラクターがついてくれました。非常簡単な陸でのレッスンの後、すぐに海へ。最後の方パドルがきつかったですが、時間たっぷり楽しめました。ただインストラクションはあまり多くなかったので、プライベートにする必要はなかったかもしれません。

I had a fun experience!
I didn't realize how difficult it would be, and paddling out to the waves was so exhausting.
It was hard, but I had a great time.
Surfing is indeed challenging.
However, if I can experience it even a little, I might get hooked.
I learned the difference between surfing and bodyboarding.
The local instructor was seasoned, kind, and friendly, which made it enjoyable as well.
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much!
楽しい体験をさせて頂きました!
やはり難しいし、沖までパドリングして波の場所まで行き来する事があんなにしんどいとは知りませんでした。
ハードでしたがとても楽しかったです。
やはりサーフィンは難しい♀️
でも少しでも体感出来ればはまりそうです。
ボディボードとの違いを思い知りました。
ロコの年季の入った方が先生で、優しくて親しみがありそれも面白かったです。
良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました

The instructor ( Troy ) was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter and I was first time surfer. We have a wonderful time.
Thank you so much for surfing with us and sharing your experience, Vitou! It was truly a pleasure to surf with you and Melanie, and we hope to see you both again soon! Lots of aloha from the ‘Ohana team ~

I had the best memories surfing at the popular beach in Waikiki while looking at Diamond Head. The lecture was easy to understand as they made an effort to use Japanese. They also took photos during the surfing session. However, it was a bit disappointing that it cost $50.
ワイキキの人気でにぎわってるビーチでダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらサーフィンができて最高の思い出になりました。
レクチャーも日本語を頑張って使っていただきわかりやすかったです。
サーフィン最中の写真撮影もしていただけました。
ただ50ドルかかってしまうのが残念でした。
Thank you for the 5-star rating and your comments. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your experience. Regarding the photos, our company does not provide photography services; we work with another company called Beach Boy Photography. Underwater photography and videography require significant skill, and due to staff hiring and insurance, we believe the minimum price of $50 is unavoidable. Please understand that this is offered as an additional service, not as a requirement. We look forward to your next visit. Mahalo!
5つ星のレイティング、そしてコメント、有難うございます。楽しんで頂けて何よりです。さて、写真の件ですが、弊社では写真のサービスはしておらず、ビーチボーイフォトグラフィーという他の会社に依頼して行っております。水中でとる写真・動画はかなりスキルを必要とするもので、スタッフ雇用、そして保険などを含めておりますので最低$50のお値段は避けられないのだと思います。ですので強制でなく、追加のサービスとして提供しています事をご理解ください。またのお越しをお待ちしております。マハロ!

I participated with a friend. In the group lesson, there were four students per teacher, but they helped us catch a lot of waves. I was very satisfied. The teaching style was interesting, and since there were people who could speak Japanese, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience.
友達と2人で参加しました。グループレッスンで1人の先生につき4人でしたが、たくさん波に乗せてくれます。大満足でした。教え方も面白くて、日本語を話せる方もいらっしゃったのでリラックスして参加できました。

There was an instructor who spoke Japanese, and although there was only one Japanese person, I was able to have a great time. However, there are blocks in the water near the beach that are hard to see from above, so while I could stand, I bumped my legs on the way back and scraped both knees, which was painful. The shop lends long-sleeved rash guards, so my upper body was fine, but those participating in shorts need to be careful about sunburn as well.
日本語の話せるインストラクターもいらっしゃり、日本人ひとりでしたが楽しく過ごすことができました。ただ浜辺近くは上からは見えにくいブロックが海中にあるため、足は着くものの戻る際に足をぶつけて両膝とも擦りむいて痛い思いをしました。お店が長袖のラッシュガードを貸してくれるので上半身は大丈夫ですが、短パンで参加される方は日焼け対策含めて注意が必要です。
