This time, I was worried because it was raining heavily in the morning, but I headed to the shop on time. After arriving, there was an explanation, and miraculously, the rain stopped by the time we headed to the ocean, allowing us to enjoy surfing. Perhaps thanks to the weather, there were relatively few participants, which was just right. I would love to participate again.
今回は朝から大雨で心配でしたが、
とりあえず集合時間通りショップに向かいました。
着いてから説明などがあり、海に向かう頃には奇跡的に雨が止んでおり、楽しくサーフィンできました
今回は天候のおかげか割りと少人数でちょうどよかったです。

I had no plans to go surfing at all, but my daughter said, "Since we're in Hawaii, let's go surfing!" and that's how it happened. True to their slogan of "We guarantee that everyone from 5 to 80 years old can ride the waves," my daughter, and even my wife, were able to stand on the board. It will be a great memory.
サーフィンなんて全く予定していなかったのですが、「折角ハワイに来たのだからサーフィンしようよ」と娘が言いだしたのがきっかでで実現しました。「5歳から80歳のおじいさんまで、絶対波に乗せる」といううたい文句の通り、娘は兎も角、妻もボードに立つことができるようになりました。いい思い出になります。
I'm glad you enjoyed it with your family!

I experienced surfing for the first time in Hawaii! I had heard that the waves in Hawaii are beginner-friendly, so I thought if I was going to try it, it should be in Hawaii. I challenged myself with my brother and cousin! Besides us, there were also a Japanese parent-child pair and two groups from English-speaking countries, making a total of about 11 people.
The lesson was said to be in English, but the explanation on land was given by someone who could speak Japanese. I was able to understand the basics here. The final explanation before entering the sea was in English, but I understood it.
The trainer also spoke some simple Japanese! There were even some who could speak quite a bit of Japanese. At first, I was worried if I could do it, but once I got into the sea, I was amazed by the clarity of the water. And to my surprise, I was able to stand up on my first wave (laughs). Truly, it’s Hawaii! Truly, it’s the trainer! I had so much fun and challenged myself multiple times!
I think experiencing this in Hawaii was the right choice for me. I gained confidence from doing well, and I feel like I might get hooked on surfing! If I go to Hawaii again, I’ll definitely do it again!
初めてのサーフィンを、ハワイで体験しました!ハワイの波は初心者向けというのを昔聞いた事があったので、やるならハワイでと思っていました。弟と従姉妹と3人でチャレンジ!私達の他に日本人親子の方、
英語圏のグループの方が2組いて、全部で11人くらいいました。
英語でのレッスンと書いてありましたが、陸上での説明は日本語が話せる方がしてくれました。やり方など大体の事はここで理解出来ます。海に入る前の最終説明は英語でしたが、理解出来ました。
トレーナーさんも簡単な日本語で話してくれます!中には日本語が結構話せる方もいました。
最初は自分に出来るか不安でしたが、いざ海に入るとまず海の透明度に驚きました。そして初めての波乗りは、まさかの1発で立てました(笑)さすがハワイ!さすがトレーナーさん!と思いました。楽しくて何度も挑戦しました!
ハワイで体験した事が、私にとって正解だったと思います。上手く出来たことで自信がついたし、サーフィンにハマりそうです!またハワイに行ったらお願いします!

I was completely surprised that both my kids were able to surf on the first class. They enjoyed it so much they (the kids) insisted on another session. Their teachers were so good the kids were interested in learning more!!! a big shout out to Travis, Tim and Adam. These young men are wonderful teachers and it was an honor to meet them. Hardworking, talented and yet so humble and compassionate to their culture and environment. It was a wonderful experience! I also want to say the office staff were also very nice.

It was my first experience, and I was satisfied to be able to stand on the surfboard. Since it was a shallow area, two friends who accompanied me got injured on their feet by rocks when they fell off the board. I think the water depth varies with the tides, but I believe it's important to be cautious about injuries during the experience.
初めての体験でしたが、サーフボードに立つことができ満足です。水深が浅い場所での体験でしたので、同行した友人2人は、ボードから落ちた際、岩で足を怪我をしました。潮の満ち引きにより水深は違うと思いますが、体験の際は怪我には注意されると良いと思います。

The meeting place is hard to find. If you're coming along the coast, you need to be careful or you might pass it by. Even if you arrive at 8:15 for the 8:15 meeting, the receptionist will ask you to wait, and you'll end up waiting until 8:30 when check-in starts. But all of that was okay because of the double rainbow I saw while walking there.
Surfing itself was a lot of fun. I knew about the photos from this review, but I was surprised when they suddenly asked me to pose without any prior notice. I signed up for a semi-private session, but it ended up being private, and I was able to catch many waves, which made me very satisfied.
集合場所がわかりにくい。海岸沿いを通ってくる方は
注意ぶかく見ないと通り過ぎます。
8:15集合で到着しても受付のお姉さんに待ってと言われ

Dear bbchoko,
Thank you very much for participating in the surfing lesson with Waikiki Beach Services. We understand that the meeting location was difficult to find, and we will work with Veltra to improve the clarity of the instructions.
Regarding the meeting time, we ask all customers to check in at least 15 minutes in advance. Most customers take about 15 minutes after checking in to apply sunscreen, use the restroom, and change out of their clothes, which often delays the start of the activity. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
The photography is conducted by a company called Beach Boy Photography. They take random photos of customers while they are in the water, and customers can purchase their favorite photos after the activity. We will ensure that this service is explained as an important note during check-in.
For our lessons, all group lessons that are booked in advance are actually private. (In English, we do not use the term semi-private, which may lead to misunderstandings among Japanese customers. "Private lesson" means one-on-one instruction, while "group lesson" refers to lessons for larger groups. Our group lessons are called "exclusive lessons," and we do not mix customers in these sessions.) We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience!
We look forward to welcoming you again!

bbchoko様:
この度はワイキキビーチサービスのサーフィンレッスンにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。集合場所が分かりにくいとのことで、ベルトラともその点をもう少しわかるようにするよう記載を直します。
集合時間ですが、お客様には必ず15分程まえにチェックインをして頂いています。ほとんどのお客様がチェックインした後にサンスクリーンを塗ったり、トイレに行ったり、着てきた洋服を脱いだりいたしますと、15分ぐらいかかってしまい、ご予約の時間に直ぐアクティビティーを始めることが出来ないことが多いのです。15分のお時間を無駄にしてしまったようで申し訳ございませんでした。
写真撮影はビーチボーイフォトグラフィーという会社が行っております。水中に入ってランドムにお客様の写真をとり、アクティビティーの後に好きな方にお買い上げ頂いております。お客様へはこれからチェックインの時に必ず注意事項としてこのサービスのことを説明させます。
弊社のレッスンは、前もってご予約していただいたグループレッスンに関してはすべてがプライベートです。(英語ですと、セミプライベートという言い方をいたしませんので、日本人のお客さまに勘違いされてしまうのだともいます。「プライベートレッスン」とはマンツーマンのレッスンのことを意味し、「グループレッスン」は団体様のレッスンのことを意味します。弊社のグループレッスンは「エクスクルーシブレッスン」といい、他のお客様とまぜてのレッスンは行いません。楽しんでいただいて何よりでした!

During our time there, the instructor mentioned that the waves were unusually high, to the point of causing a wry smile, which made me really anxious about safety. However, the instructor provided excellent support by pulling the board to the surfing point so that we wouldn't drift away, making it easy for beginners like us to ride the waves. My fear quickly disappeared, and I found surfing to be easy and enjoyable!

It was my son's second private lesson, and he had a very kind and easy-to-understand instructor who spoke to him multiple times with gentleness. I also found the instructor to be very friendly and pleasant. Both of them were able to ride the waves almost perfectly, and we were very satisfied. The next day, I tried it alone and was able to ride successfully. I thought about surfing when I return to Japan, but since my neck hurts, it's difficult for an old man to do it for long periods... Ah, it was fun.

We participated as a couple. It was both my wife and my first time surfing, but we were taught with great care and attention, and I was able to stand on the board on my first try! The wind was weak and the waves were small that day, so we couldn't ride as much, but the instructor, Mr. Nelson, was very friendly, and we had a lot of enjoyable conversations. While waiting for the waves on the board, I felt happy floating and looking at the scenery of Waikiki. By the end, both of us were able to stand until the very end, and it was a wonderful experience. If our schedules allowed, we would have liked to do it again!

最後には2人とも最後まで立っていられるようになり、とてもすばらしい体験でした。スケジュールが合えばもう一回したかったです!

We experienced canoe surfing as a family of four. There are floatation devices attached like sidebars, making it safe for small children and the elderly. Since it's in Waikiki, it's convenient and refreshing, but the waves are small, so you won't get much thrill. After riding the waves twice, it's over, so it really ends in the blink of an eye. A photographer captures moments while surfing, but they didn't tell us where the photographer was, so we couldn't pose facing them. Therefore, the experience photos turned out to be a bit disappointing.
家族4名でカヌーサーフィンを体験しました。転覆防止の浮きのようなものがサイドバーのように付いているので小さい子供やお年寄りでも安全です。ワイキキなのでお手軽で、気分爽快ですが、波が小さいのでスリルは味わえません。二度、波に乗ると終了なので、本当にあっという間に終わります。カメラマンが波乗り中の様子を撮影してくれるのですが、どこにカメラマンがいるのか教えてくれなかったので、そちらを向いてポーズをとることが出来ませんでした。なので、せっかくの体験写真がイマイチだったのが非常に残念です。

One of the purposes of this trip is to go surfing!! That said, my husband, daughter, and I have zero experience... What will happen??? On top of that, we started with a mix of English lessons and a lot of anxiety~!
On the beach, important points were explained in a simple and easy-to-understand mix of English and Japanese, and we practiced on boards placed on the sand. Then we headed to the sea. I wondered if I could really ride the waves, but as we went out, when the waves came and I was about to catch one, the staff shouted, "Mom, stand up! Stand up!" When I tried standing, I glided~~~! Riding the waves felt amazing and was the best experience. During the two-hour lesson, I managed to ride almost without any failures. Of course, it was thanks to the staff who helped me catch the waves...
I recommend it to anyone who wants to try surfing. You'll get hooked!!

I requested private lessons for my 10-year-old son. I was a bit worried since he doesn't understand much English, but the coach provided clear instruction in simple English, so he had no trouble at all. Being a child, he improved quickly, and although it might be a parent's bias, I felt he was able to ride the waves longer than the adults who were taking group lessons at the same time. It became a wonderful memory, and it seems he also found joy in experiencing a sport that other kids hadn't mastered yet. I plan to have him try again next time.

We had one instructor for three people. It was my second time surfing, while the other two were surfing for the first time. Waikiki Beach has gentle waves and is quite shallow, so even those who are not confident swimmers can feel safe. Most other surfing lessons are two hours long, and since I was exhausted from my previous surfing lesson, I decided to go with this one-hour option. The waves weren't very high, but everyone was able to ride at least three times for sure. I wonder if I could have ridden more? I felt a bit unsatisfied with just one hour, but the two beginners seemed quite tired after that hour. Next time, I want to try the two-hour course and challenge myself with slightly higher waves! After all, surfing in Hawaii is the best. I definitely want to surf again the next time I go to Hawaii!
3人にインストラクターが1人ついて教えてもらいました。私は2回目のサーフィン、他2人は初のサーフィン。ワイキキビーチは波が穏やかで、かなり遠浅だったのでポイントでも足がつくので泳ぎが不安なひとでも大丈夫です。他のサーフィンレッスンは2時間が多く、前のサーフィンレッスンでクタクタになったので今回は1時間にしようと思いこちらを選びました。波はそんなに高くないですが、全員3回は確実にのれました。もっと乗れたかな?私は1時間で少し物足りなかったけど、初めての2人は1時間でかなり疲れたみたいです。次回は2時間コースで、もう少し高めの波にチャレンジしたいです!何はともあれ、やっぱりハワイでするサーフィンは最高です。次回もハワイに行くときは必ずサーフィンしたいです!
Dear JUNPI,
Thank you very much for using Waikiki Beach Services. All of our activities are set for one hour. As you mentioned, two hours can be too long for beginners. When you're tired, spending a long time in the water increases the risk of accidents. We prioritize our customers' safety above all.
For those who feel that one hour is not enough, we also offer board rentals at the same location, so you can continue to enjoy activities afterward.
As you know, wave conditions change depending on the season and weather. During the winter months in Hawaii, there are usually very few waves on the South Shore. We hope you can visit again in the summer!
We look forward to seeing you again.

この度はワイキキビーチサービスをご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございました。 弊社のアクティビティーは全て1時間となっています。その利用はお客様がおっしゃっているように、2時間では初心者の方には長すぎるからなのです。疲れているときに長い間水中に入っていますと、事故に繋がる確立も増えます。弊社ではお客様の安全を第一に考えております。
1時間では足りないと思うお客様には、その後、ボードレンタルも同じ場所で行っておりますので、続けてアクティビティーを楽しんでいただける事も可能です。

初めてサーフィンにチャレンジしてきました。
全然、波に乗ることはできなかったのですが、テンションはすごく上がって楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
元気があれば何でも出来ます!!

You can easily debut in surfing at Waikiki Beach.
One hour may seem short at first glance, but it was sufficient. I think Waikiki is suitable for beginners since the waves are gentle. I participated in the morning lesson, which I recommend because it allows you to make the most of your day. After the lesson, I returned to the hotel, had lunch in Waikiki, joined another tour in the afternoon, and went shopping at night, making it a full day of fun.
By the way, the instructor had stayed in Japan, so he mixed in some Japanese during the explanations, which I think makes it easy for those who can't speak English to participate with confidence.
Thanks to the one-on-one lesson, I was able to ride the waves continuously, which was great.
ワイキキビーチでさくっとサーフィンデビューできます。
1時間と一見短そうに感じますが、十分でした。
ワイキキは波も穏やかなので初心者向けかと思います。
朝一のレッスンに参加したのですが、1日を有効に使えるのでおすすめです。
レッスン後ホテルに戻り、ワイキキでランチをとり、午後からは別のツアーに参加し、夜は買い物をし、と1日フルで遊べました。
ちなみに先生は日本に滞在していたこともあり、日本語も織り交ぜで説明してくれるので、
英語が話せない方でも安心して参加できると思います。
マンツーマンのレッスンにしたお蔭で、ひたすら波に乗れたのもよかったです。
Dear VOPPY,
Thank you for your comment about Five Star! As you mentioned, the morning lesson starts at 8:30 AM, so I highly recommend it. Additionally, during the morning lessons, both the beach and the water are less crowded, making it easier to conduct the lessons.
We also share news and photos from Waikiki Beach on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (@WBSHawaii), so please check them out if you're interested!
We look forward to your next visit!

My first surfing lesson, and I was a bit worried since I'm not young anymore... but it was a fun lesson with a relaxed teacher, and it went by in no time. I want to take a higher-level class next time! :-p
初のサーフィン、若くもないし…と少し心配していましたが、楽しい先生とのリラックスしながらのレッスンであっという間でした。
更に上のクラスを次は受けたいと思います:-p

I was dragged along by my younger brother, who really wanted to go, and although I wasn't too enthusiastic about it, I had a great time. I managed to stand on the board just barely. Riding the waves was fun, but paddling out to the ocean was quite a struggle. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
どうしても行きたいという弟に引きつられ、気乗りしないまま参加しましたが、楽しかったです。ボードにもかろうじて立てました。ただ、ボードに乗って波に乗っていくのは楽しいのですが、沖までこいでいくのは一苦労でした。また機会があれば参加したいです。
Thank you for participating in the lesson, Aya!
I think it can be quite challenging to use your core muscles to get out to the waves, but please enjoy surfing again when you visit Hawaii!
We look forward to seeing you!
Aya様
レッスン参加していただきありがとうございます!
沖まででるには 腹筋もつかい 大変だと思いますが
是非また ハワイにいらした際は、 ぜひ サーフィン 楽しんでくださいね!
お待ちしています!

I participated alone. Since I have experience, I inquired in advance whether I could choose a rental surfboard other than a soft board, and I received a response that I could choose either a soft board or a regular longboard (11 feet). When I arrived at the shop and mentioned this, a Japanese male coach abruptly responded, "Who said that?" in a confrontational manner. He also said, "If you have experience, you should just rent a board," which left me feeling very frustrated. I had hoped to only have a guide, but due to various circumstances, I applied for the school... Even when I asked other questions, he showed no willingness to listen and maintained an attitude of "just do as we say." It was disappointing because the responses from the other coaches were not bad, but overall, my impression is the worst. I never want to see his face again. I don't think he is suited for customer service.
一人で参加しました。
経験があるので、事前にレンタルのサーフボードをソフトボード以外も選べるのか問い合わせたところ、ソフトボードか普通のロングボード(11フィート)を選べるとの返事がありました。
ショップに到着し、その旨を聞いたところ日本人の男性コーチが「そんな事誰が言った?」と
いきなりのケンカ腰での返事。
「経験があるのなら、レンタルボードすればいいでしょ」との発言もあり、非常に憤りを覚えました。こちらもガイドのみを希望したかったのですが色々な事情でスクールを申し込んだ訳で・・・
他の質問をしても、彼は全く聞く耳を持たず「こちらの言うとおりにしろ」という態度を取るばかりでした。
他のコーチの対応は悪くなかっただけに残念ですが、全体の印象としては最悪です。
もう二度と彼の顔を見たくありません。接客業には向いてないと思います。
Dear Fujita,
I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience you had at our shop.
Regarding this matter, I agree with your comments. I will issue a strict warning to the instructor and provide them with additional customer service training.
If you happen to visit Hawaii again and wish to enjoy surfing, I would like to offer you private lessons with other staff at no charge.
Additionally, we will provide a 50% discount for lessons with a professional surfer.
I understand that after having a negative experience, you may not want to return, but I would be delighted if you could visit us again.
Once again, I am truly sorry for the unpleasant experience you had.
Thank you.

I participated in a group lesson. The location is great, and after the DVD lecture (in Japanese), we had the lesson on the beach (in English), so you can feel at ease even if you're not confident in your English. You can stand on the boat from the very first time!
グループレッスンに参加しました。ロケーションの良さは言うまでもありませんが,
DVDレクチャー(日本語)の後,ビーチでレッスン(英語)でしたので,英語に自信がなくても安心です。
1回目からボートに立てます!
Aloha! Our entire staff is looking forward to seeing you this year!
アロハ! 今年もスタッフ一同お待ちしています!

I was looking for beach activities that even a 3-year-old could participate in. Since it was suitable for children from 3 years old, we decided to join. My child was, of course, super excited, and so was Dad!! I really recommend it because even small children can enjoy it.
3歳の子供でも可能な海でのアクティビティを探していました。
ちょうど3歳から可能だったので参加してみることに。
子供はもちろん大はしゃぎ、パパも大はしゃぎ!!でした。
小さい子供でもできるので、本当にお薦めです。
Thank you for your comment, Five Star! The outrigger canoe is indeed an activity that can be enjoyed even by those who cannot swim, accommodating 4 to 6 people, making it a very fun experience for families to ride the waves together. Additionally, little ones can sit facing their mom or dad and don’t have to paddle, so I believe they had a great time. We look forward to your next visit!

ファイブスターのコメント有難うございました! アウトリガーカヌーはお客様のおっしゃるとおり、泳げない方でも参加できるアクティビティーで、4名から6名まで乗れるので、家族おそろいで波乗りの体験が出来るとても楽しいアクティビティーです。また、ちっちゃなお子様はママやパパと向き合いに座り、パドルもしなくてすむので、楽しんでいただけたと思います。ではまたのお越しをお待ちしております!
