Took a paddleboard lesson and had a great time! Everyone was so friendly, helpful and fun! It was my first time on a board let alone standing on one in the water trying to navigate! It's a great core and upper body workout - especially when you are working against the current! I paddled around with a couple of sea...

Simply stated, if you want to try surfing and have no clue what a surfboard is, this is the place to go. I was a bit nervous as I hadn't been on a surfboard in almost 40 years since moving away from Oahu. My son in law had never surfed until today. After a brief introduction to the basics we...

Very cool surfing experience. We stayed at the Halekulani where they had no hesitation in recommending TY. If the Halekulani make a recommendation you know it will be good. The surf shop is directly cross the road from the hotel. Like any successful business the customer experience is outstanding. TY s a great guy and his staff are outstanding.
Highly...

My husband and I had a blast during our surf lesson! We never thought we'd actually be able to stand up and ride a wave but we did thanks to Ty and his team. Everyone was friendly and helpful and made for a great experience. This was definitely the best part of our vacation!
The most amazing experience! Ty and his outstanding camera man made our semiprivate lesson simply outstanding! He got my son and I up and surfing in no time! Thank you for all the guidance, encouragement, tips and suggestions. I wish we'd gotten a chance to view the footage from our lesson (the biggest highlight was riding the same wave alongside...

What can I say, the surf was ruff and these guys were as determined as i was to get me up on that board. Due to the conditions we postponed for a day but unfortunately they hadn't changed, so Ty said if it's that bad once we are out there he wouldn't charge us. I had a ball!! It was...

The school had a great atmosphere, they taught how to surf and did it in a chilled, personalised way. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to learn from scratch or just needs a tune up to go there. Renting the boards from them is also very cheap!
Thanks for the review and positive comments about our over all vibe. It's important to make our clients feel relaxed and comfortable both inside our shop as well as out on the waves.
Aloha,

What an experience!!! His group of teachers (very courteous and professional...and FUN) were able to get all of my teenage kids up and surfing in a short period of time. I got a DVD ($$) not bad for the production and memories. The cameraman was great. He took pictures, and produced an excellent video of the entire experience. I wouldn't...

Anthony,
Thanks for the great feedback and positive review! Stoked to hear that you found everyone professional and courteous. 83 East's video certainly does make for great memories of your surfing experience here in Hawaii!

If your interested in getting the most surf time for your money this is the school for you. For a one hour lesson the cost was just under $100. The "land time" or beach time instruction lasted only 5 min. and then on to the Real surf lesson in the water. You will take lots of waves with these guys....

Laura,
Thank you for your review of our school and of 83 East productions. It's nice to hear that you valued the fact that we maximize our time in the water versus an overly long land lesson. Our goal is to get our clients as many waves as possible while learning the proper technique. I am sorry to hear that...
