Tommy was a great. Instructor and the surfing was good this day. My son had such a great time he wanted to rent boards and go out again after just one lesson!

Great first lesson for my daughter. Aria was a good teacher and we caught our first waves with Diamond Head as a backdrop. Highly recommended

Great experience for novice surfers. Josh and James were patient and professional. Surfing in Waikiki- Bucket list checked!

I had booked this for my husband's birthday and since the minimum people to book was 2, I decided to try it as well. Surfing ended up not being for me - I was way too nervous about standing on the board and it was a bit overwhelming when in the moment on a wave because it feels like you go SO FAST - but my husband had an awesome time and we are both so thankful to the instructor, Trevor, for being so friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate about the area, our safety, and making sure we had as good of a time as possible. Trevor also tried his best to pump up my confidence after some wipe-outs so I appreciate that too :-p But in the end, I am most happy that my husband got up on a wave (his first ever!) and we definitely feel like we got our money's worth for having the attention just on us for the lesson. Trevor made sure we got all the motions right on the beach before we went into the water so he will make sure you are safe and as ready as you can be. Would certainly recommend and I'm glad I at least tried it!

Dan Dan did a great job teaching the two of us to surf. We both were able to stand up and surf a wave on our first or second attempt. Surfed about 8 waves each. It is exhausting so be prepared. Tons of fun! It is a small business but we did not have any issues and I like supporting the smaller guides. Would do it again.

Had a great time with my son and was a first for each of us learning to surf. James was an excellent instructor and was very patient with us. I would not hesitate to use this company again and it was a great value!

It was just two of us for an hr and a half. We were very inexperienced and had a blast. Trevor was a great instructor, super great experience overall!

We had an amazing lesson with Trevor of Gone Surfing! It was just my husband and I, and Trevor gave us a quick land lesson on the basics - how to paddle, how to stand up, common mistakes to avoid- and then we were off in the water! We were given a rash guard and a place to store our things, then had our boards strapped on and we went out to the water. Trevor helped carry out boards into the water (heavier than you think!!) and then helped paddle us out to where we surf (which is MUCH MUCH harder than you think) and then we got to surfing, which was easier than you think due to great instruction! Trevor had us surfing alone and together on multiple waves - I would guess we rode around 10 waves each? When we got back in, we got to see all of the great pics and videos Mackenzie took of us, and now have a great momento of a great afternoon ! definitely recommend a surfing lesson with Gone Surfing when you’re in Hawaii!

Our instructor was Nate, he was very nice. We were both very nervous and getting over fears today. He was very understanding and was easy going. It made it very easy to be comfortable and feel safe out there in the water. We both stood up on our boards and surfed. Just listen to the instructors and they will tell you everything you need to know! It was a great experience, and we both had a crazy adrenaline rush after wards. Totally recommend!

Our menor is Trevor, he is great and always encourages us for our surfing. Though the first time surfing, we can almost successfully stand up on the board! This is a great experience. We really recommend this surfing lesson!

This was the highlight of our stay in Honolulu — my husband and I had never tried surfing and we are so happy we signed up for a class with Gone Surfing! The staff was very friendly and our instructor Tommy was excellent. We were both standing on our surfboards by the third wave! So much fun and we may need to book a lesson with this group again if we are ever back in Honolulu. Can’t recommend enough!

Our family visited Honolulu the first week of December and we booked surfing Lessing for our kids starting at age 7. They had an amazing time and the lessons were easy for them to follow. All 5 of the kids were able to get up. Instructor are incredible. We can’t wait to go back. We will for sure go through Gone Surfing again.

Great instructors. My friend and I were both beginners and got lessons from Tommy and Jason. Both instructors provided useful tips and fixed our postures, and we were able to stand up! We greatly enjoyed their lessons and highly recommend Gone Surfing Hawaii.

Great experience. My son and I took a lesson together. Trevor was our surf coach and thoroughly taught skills and safety before going into the water. Jaden stored our belongings in a locker, and we had a great lesson. Totally recommend. Beautiful location .

The best experience, highly recommended! This was my first time surfing and there was no better way to learn. Huge shoutout to Jarret for being the best instructor and making sure everyone caught waves.

These guys are great at teaching first time surfers. I showed up for my lesson and the instructor told me it would be hard to catch a wave because there wasn’t much surf. He said he would still take me and my dad out, or we could come back in the morning when there would be a more consistent break. We chose to go back in the morning. My dad and I only lasted 1/2 hour, but I stood up and rode every wave (4 of them) and only fell off once. This was my second time ever surfing, the first time was 10 years ago and required no paddling (we walked on rocks to where the waves were breaking). I’m 44 and my dad is 66. Paddling out is exhausting (why we only lasted 1/2 hour), but riding the waves in is a blast! We had James. He is awesome!

Following an on-beach lesson we paddled out. The instructor waited for the right waves, gave us a push and we were off. All three of us were able to get up on the board and surf. It was great! Surfing uses a lot of muscles that you may not use in your daily life. I have a new level of respect for surfers.

SO MUCH FUN! Definitely the highlight of my trip here! Shawn was fun and we definitely caught some waves. 10/10

My family had a wonderful private beginners lesson with Jason, our instructor. He was incredibly friendly and helpful and took all our fears and hesitations away immediately. It made learning how to surf enjoyable and much easier than we anticipated. We each got out to ride four waves each which is far more than we expected. Highly recommend Gone Surfing and their friendly staff (super helpful even with the rescheduling that had to occur with an overbooking conflict)!

We had a great time taking our first surfing lesson with Austin! He was patient, encouraging, and really showed us how to surf correctly. We also appreciated that he paddled us out to the ocean so we could save energy for the actual surfing! 10/10 would recommend! Chelsea
