Poipu Beach Surf School

"Such an incredible experience with Poipu Beach Surf School! I reached out to Doug in advance about where I was stuck with my surfing and what I needed specific help with during a private lesson. Chris, my instructor, was timely and warm. We spent at least twenty minutes running through turning techniques before getting in the water which I really appreciated. He broke down steps in small pieces so I could easily integrate it once we were in the water. I saw huge improvement in dropping in and turning during the lesson and also in the following days on my own that I spent surfing in Poipu. Perhaps the most meaningful part was how Chris was able to seamlessly integrate things I was learning into more than just surfing, but philosophy in life. An area in surfing I was struggling with was how chaotic it feels to catch the wave- feeling so rushed. He was able to help me understand that you don't match the energy of the wave but take your time, relax your upper body and that it's subtle movements to turn. Then time slows down. It really did feel like that while catching some beautiful and memorable waves and it's hard not to walk away thinking I learned way more than just surfing techniques. So grateful. I highly recommend it and I hope to be back one day."

"Micah is a great teacher! My husband just did his first surfing lesson and LOVED it. I'm definitely coming back next year to try it too!"

"Scheduled a private lesson for my 4 kids (ages 8-14). Kamu and Jimmy were awesome instructors. They very obviously know what they are doing, and have a lifetime of experience coupled with a great attitude. I loved that they wasted no time on minutiae. They spent nearly the entire lesson in the water just coaching the kids and actually getting them up on waves. They even let me tag along and offered up some much appreciated free advice. Phenomenal experience. Highly recommend. We'll be repeat customers for sure."

"I took my first surf lesson with Poipu Beach Surf School (Nukumoi Surf Co.), and it was a great experience! The instructor, Adam, was knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging, making me feel confident in the water. I learned a ton from his expertise and the overall atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. We did a semi-private lesson which started with an intro video. We then drove to the surf spot and met Adam there. After walking the boards over, we had a 20ish min lesson on land then headed into the water. We caught a ton of waves over the ~1 h period and Adam gave us a ton of tips. After the lesson Adam also stayed another extra ~30 mins and have us even more tips regarding apps to inform you of when/where surfing will be good, alignment, and surf etiquette. I've been implementing his techniques into my own surf outings and the lesson is really paying off! I highly recommend Poipu Beach Surf School to anyone looking to learn surfing from an expert!"

"Had a Great experience here. The owner Doug and our instructor Jimmy were both tops. they treated us kindly and with respect. Mr Jimmy helped introduce my little one to the wonderful world of surfing and just as he told her..."your 1st instructor is your instructor for life". he showed her the ropes and did it in a fun, yet safe way. very engaging and charismatic. would gladly repeat if ever back on the Island. thanks guys for the great time."
