Hans Hedemann Surf School, Kahuku HI

I took three private lessons with Mike at Laniakea Beach on the North Shore and had so much fun! I would absolutely recommend him as a surf instructor. He was very kind, knowledgeable, friendly, patient and encouraging. I have previously taken a few intro surf lessons before but still felt intimidated surfing alone without an instructor. After the lessons, I feel much more confident about going out surfing by myself. What stood out from other surf lessons was that beyond just getting passively pushed into waves, we practiced reading the waves and wind, pick good waves and catching them at the right spot, surviving when huge waves comes, doing some turns. I picked up many practical skills beyond the pop up that I didn’t get from my previous surfing lessons elsewhere. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and I’m already itching to get back into the water again!

Charlie was awesome! He let us check 3 items off the bucket list: SUPing on the ocean (and even catching a few waves into shore), our son learned to surf and caught a bunch of waves, and we saw a ton of sea turtles swimming all around us! Highly recommend! Mahalo Charlie!
