I almost never write reviews and feel that I must so that others have an awesome experience like i had. After 6 days on the big island I only had three days left on Oahu to do something I had been wanting to do for some time, learn how to surf (if you travel all the way to Hawaii what... More

We have booked a private lesson. Sergio was not in (as announced during booking) , but his deputy waited on us at given time and she was perfect. Some basic training and after a few trials we did it and stood up on the board. Waves were quite big, so we got tired after some time, but the feeling is... More

Sergio and his wife Carly offer a truly exceptional surfing experience. My two boys took a lesson from Sergio for the second year in a row and, just like last year, they were up and surfing safely and confidently very quickly. He is a gifted and very patient teacher. My boys are by no means star athletes but he got... More

The best part of our extended family vacation to Oahu was surfing with Sergio, Karly and the other instructors. The six kids, ages 7 to 14 were surfing with the first wave. Sergio was fabulous with the kids and gave them all the encouragement they needed to have a great time. In fact they loved it so much we came... More

My wife had secretly set up a 2-hour private surfing lesson with a 10-year professional, Sergio Lima (who's only 26, mind you). Sergio's manner and true passion... More

Sergio and Carly are the best. He had my fiance, who had never even touched a surfboard before up and riding on her very first wave. I provided him more of a challenge, but he got me up as well. Sergio is a great instructor and does and excellent job of pointing out the mistakes being made to facilitate rapid... More

All the reviews on here are fantastic - add me to the list of people saying the same thing! My husband and I did the 2 hour private lesson with serg and I wouldn't have it any other way. He was able to get us riding on the first wave (we had done lessons previously in Costa Rica where my... More

My daughter and her college roommate took the 2 hour private surf lessons from Sergio and could not stop talking about how patient and understanding he was. They were both able to get up on their first attempts and spent the rest of the time perfecting their skill. This was, by far, their favorite activity in the 9 days we... More
