I spent three days surfing with Kona Mike and Fuzzy and they were absolutely fantastic. They had me standing up on the first day, and by the third I was able to catch my own waves. They are patient, helpful and lots of fun and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for surfing lessons near Kona. I wish... More

From the moment Mike answered his phone until we waved goodbye, it was a wonderful experience. Mike and team were easygoing, efficient, casual yet professional, enjoyed joking around and did a great job making us feel like "no big deal, nothing to worry about". Even though it was a larger group- actually, thank goodness it was a larger group- everyone... More

Mike and his crew were great. Easily one of our highlights in our trip to Kona. Was on my wife's bucket list and she wasn't disappointed. All of us were up on the first try. Our two youngest weren't old enough to join us but they were able to play on the beach with other family members. Wish we'd been... More

Mike gave my 14yr old son a lesson our last day in Hawaii and after being in Hawaii for over a week this is the only thing my son can talk about. Mike was easy to work with and fantastic with my son. There's no rush to learn, you go at the individuals pace. Wish we had signed up when... More

Kona Mike's is a great place to learn how to surf. My sister and I took two lessons and left feeling great. The experience was amazing and the instructors were very encouraging. By the time you leave you will have had your proud moment when you catch your first wave. No matter what age you are surfing is a great... More

Kona Mike's was a fantastic experience for me and my kids! I'm a 40-something mom and I was up on the first try. Mike gives great, easy to follow instruction. We had a great guide in the water and he was easily able to keep us all challenged and improving. You do need to be in decent shape. It is... More

Kona Mike and Craig gave my family a morning that was just epic. Two 40 year olds with desk jobs, their 13 year old daughter and 9 year old son. A challenge to be sure, but MIke and Craig did a nice job of keeping us at ease and got all the beginners up on their boards.. They really want... More

We have surfed with Kona Mike and his instructors several times now. He runs a professional and FUN operation. He and his guys can quickly make you feel like a natural surfer, dropping into wave after wave. And between waves, they might even sign to entertain you. If you're looking to surf on the Big Island, I'd go with Mike.

This our first trip to the big island. My wife and some friends wanted to learn to surf. What better place to try. Kona Mike's has this down pat. Great instruction. Made it fun and had them catching waves right from the start. Great introduction for first timers before getting in the water. Thanks guys.

First time surfer. Had a group lesson. Instructors were super cool and encouraging. Had a quick safety lesson and spent lots of time in the water. My surfing adventure was the highlight of my vacation! Thanks Logan & Craig!
