I have spend a full week with Edison and Jenni. The accommodations are in super conditions and are located right behind Haleiwa on a small river. The house and backyard are just lovely and can be used for relaxing or maybe for a trip Stand-Up paddling on the river into the ocean. The main reason to come was to learn... More

We spent 6 days surfing with Edison and Bruno and loved each one. I hadn't anticipated being able to keep up with the pace, but I got help and encouragement at every step and ended up not wanting to miss out on a day in the ocean and surfing. Who would have thought! The accommadations were very clean and in... More

I had a great week along with friends at surf Hawaii! Edison and Bruno are great instructors with an extensive surfing background. My surfing improved dramatically over the course of the week. Not only do they teach you to surf but teach you how to read the sets of waves and stress safety! If the surf was bad on the... More

I took advantage of the Surf Hawaii's surf camp package this May and I enjoyed every minute of it. Bruno and Edison are awesome and patient instructors and coaches and I really had a great time out on the water improving my surfing skills. The house where the surf camp guests stay is probably one of the most beautiful and... More

On May 25, 2012, three of us took surfing lessons with Bruno. We went out to Lanikai Beach for our lesson. Bruno was a great teacher and really was able to take 3 people who never surfed out to the ocean and got us riding the waves! A fair word of warning - the paddling out to the surf is... More

Absolutely the best experience on the island thus far. Edison and Bruno were excellent and for 5 people that have never ever surfed each of us were able to get up on the board. It was awesome. If you are looking to do this for the first time then look no further. These guys make it fun and enjoyable.

My husband and I took a two hour stand up paddle "lesson" with Edison and it was terrible. Admittedly I am a teacher and I teach physical skills and have a pretty high standard but this guy really doesn't do any teaching. He sent us down the river on the boards while he supposedly put on sunscreen--I suspect he was... More
