Surf instructions from lifelong surfers and residents of Oahu. Shane puts his own personal twist on these common ocean activities, and always looks out for the safety of his customers. You will not find a better surf, snorkeling, or ocean kayak instructor than Shane. The beauty of Waikiki bay, colorful fish and crystal blue water will blow your mind and make you want to come back for more.

I booked this activity with my mom, who is 65 years old and doesn’t speak English, and some tears came up on our way back to the hotel. She said it was the best Mother’s Day present ever. These guys were terrific; they were so professional and knowledgeable about the area. They provide everything you need to have a wonderful time. I had so much fun talking to them and they were very patient and very encouraging. Seeing my mom standing on a board and surfing will remain in my memory forever.
This was my first time kayaking in the ocean, and I’m not gonna lie, I was a little bit scared about it, but Shane and Neil guided us and then took us quickly and safely to the snorkeling zone, and OMG! We spot about 6-8 sea turtles and tons of colorful fishes. I can’t wait to share my experience with all my friends and family. I’ll definitely book this activity again when I come back to Oahu.

Shane and Neil are amazing! Super patient and fun, they really made us feel comfortable and part of the community in addition to teaching us to surf and helping us find sea turtles. Can't recommend this personal experience highly enough.

This was the best thing I did on my very first visit to Hawaii. Shane is a knowledgeable and patient teacher. Let’s just say I am not a natural surfer, but he helped me to get up and catch those waves 😂
The snorkeling was also beautiful. Sea turtles were poking their heads up and swimming beside us. I will recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Oahu.

We booked some surfing lessons and kayaking as part of my birthday celebration. We had a great time. We basically had one-on-one attention. These guys are great to work with. Patient, responsive, great feedback during our surfing lessons. We felt safe the whole time. Equipment was good. And we had the option to buy photos from our experience. If we return to Honolulu, we will book with them again.

Shane and Captain Neil were kind and wonderful instructors. I was worried of running a bit late but they were kind and understandable. When you run into people who are passionate about what they do it is truly a blessing. My wife and I had an unforgettable time with them and enjoyed the beautiful day. I would highly recommend it and thank you for your wonderful lessons and sharing your perspective. God bless!

Enthusiastic and passionate about what they do, they gladly assessed our skill level for all three activities before helping us to thoroughly enjoy the adventure!
Had not attempted surfing in more than 10 years (and not getting any younger), Shane gave great instruction and feedback…the result being able to ride a few waves which was lots of fun.
My wife floated face to face with the biggest turtle either of us had ever seen!!
The guys were very flexible with the amount of time we spent on each activity and made us feel special!
Would highly recommend for a fun time on the water.

The brothers Shane and Captain Neil are exceptionally talented surf instructors. You can embark on this fun adventure for the surfing instruction alone because they are that good, but kayaking to snorkel with turtles as a delightful bonus!

Shane and Captain Neil were very experienced teachers who got me and my friend with no experience to surf within 10 minutes! They were very clear and patient when teaching us and we felt comfortable the whole time. We got to surf really good waves and really enjoyed our experience, definitely recommend :)

I scheduled a one-on-one surf lesson for my son and for my husband to go with him. Shane was super communicative before we even got to the island and we chatted and got info before the boys went out. I didn’t hear anything until after the lesson when my so and husband got back and boy were they pumped!!!
My son is 6 and he had the Best time with Shane and Neil. Waikiki is the best beach for beginners and the boys were so relaxed with the conditions and the area- they even saw a couple turtles!
Shane said they had another opening while we were there and we jumped at the chance to all go out. I went out on the kayak with my 4yo daughter to take pictures of them surfing and the boys got to work on their skills again. My son even got to go by himself a couple times!
Besides being great teachers- Shane and Neil are sweet as can be and relaxing and accommodating. 10 out of 10 recommend 💫🤙🏼

Shane & Neil were excellent guides! We launched from the beautiful Waikiki area. They both are very knowledgeable at techniques and where to go, guiding the group to a short yet energetic location. Once there we put our masks and snorkels on and began seeing so many beautiful fish of the Island. And an added plus was seeing not just one turtle, but a few!! It was a fantastic time and created an endearing memory. Thank you, Shane and Neal!!
