    Amazing surf lesson! 🌊 Mathieu was super friendly, professional, and made us feel confident from the start. We had such a great time and absolutely loved the experience. Highly recommend this surf school and especially Mathieu. Thank you for an unforgettable time in Hawaii! 🤙

    My partner and I had a great lesson with Matt- we went to a spot that was less crowded than waikiki beach and with better waves. Matt provided us with reef shoes for the rocks and was proactive in coordinating our meetup. He taught me the right way to pop up unlike my first instructor who told me to use my knee. I felt more equipped with the skills to surf on my own thanks to Matt.

    I had such a great experience learning to surf with Matt! He was very patient, encouraging, and made me feel comfortable in the water even though I had never done any water sports before. He explained everything clearly. I had so much fun, and I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone wanting to learn how to surf!! 🏄🏻‍♀️💗 (and definitely get the videos! It's so fun to see yourself surfing.)
