My wife and her best friend took lessons with Kamika and it ended up being a private lesson since it was the slow season. My wife and her friend were bitten by the surfing bug after their first wave. They were both able to stand and ride after minimal coaching and had smiles that could light up night. They said... More

Having always been a casual surfing fan from a place where I could never have an opportunity to try it, one of my goals on a vacation to Oahu was to have a go at it. I found Girls Who Surf from this forum and choose them over the ones recommended by my booking company. I could not be more... More

GWS is an interesting experience. By interesting I mean really fantastic! Go get a surf lesson. They include the basic information like how to stand up, lots and lots of safety, and help with wave catching. But what's more is that they give a lot of extra tips and information so that you can get better and better with each... More

Our instructor was so nice and helpful, though he was a guy...so much for girls who surf. Regardless he was a great instructor and really nice... More

The travel service that I used called two other surfing companies before calling "Girls Who Surf" and it was to my advantage that I went with this company. They provided the water shoes and long sleeve swim shirt (to protect against sunburn), gave great instruction before entering the water, and took me and one other young girl out into the... More

Last week while visiting Oahu, we had previously arranged reservations for surf lessons for 4 teenagers. Unfortunately, the vendor was a no-show. Girls Who Surf were kind enough to come down to the beach within the hour and provide lessons at the same rate we had earlier arranged with other vendor. Out of the 4 kids, our older son had... More

Cecelia was a great instructor! I did a private 2 hour lesson. The first wave I caught... I was up 1/2 way... but by the second wave I had it. It was an awesome experience and would recommend to anyone. It exceeded my expectation of just wanting to get up... I actually surfed!! More
