My friend and I took the 2 hour class at 8:00a. We are both first timers, so I didn't want a big group lessons they were offering at the beach, but also didn't want to pay the high $$ for a totally private lesson, Girls Who Surf (GWS) was a perfect solution! I learned of GWS through the positive reviews.... More

Our daughter is 6 and our son is almost 4. Staying at Ko Olina, we chose to surf with them in Kapolei. GWS tailored the kids' private lessons perfectly to help them enjoy and respect the water without exhausting them in the process. Our son worked with Ka'i, he was so kind and professional, and according to the kids, a... More

Izzy and Ross were absolutely great. They arrived on time, went over the basics and got us all up and surfing on our second or third wave. They were patient, supportive and very fun. I was not planning on joining in on the lesson but I have to say that I am glad I did. It was one of the... More

We have dreamed of watching our kids surf and GWS made this dream a reality. The beach they chose was clean, safe and not crowded. They provided everything we needed from equipment to snacks and lawn chairs and towels. Our sons loved the experience and Wayenne and the other female instructor were very focused on a successful experience for our... More

They were able to give me a private lesson on short notice. Rash guard, shoes, and board were provided. My... More

Great surfing experience! I use this company each time I'm in Oahu and every instructor has been great. The instructors are very familiar with the water and help me catch waves hat are appropriate for my level. The ocean is powerful, so it is important to be with an instructor who knows how to "read" the waves. I look out... More

During a recent family vacation to Oahu, we found GWS on trip advisor for our two daughters aged 8 and 10. We were not disappointed. After just about 10 minutes of gear prep and on-shore instruction, they were in the water. My youngest surfed tandem with her instruction Ross, while my oldest was side by side with Wynette. The youngest... More
