MAHALO & ALOOOHA! 🏄‍♀️🤙

  • Yes, you can! I cannot imagine a better first-time surfing experience than the one provided by Edison at Surf Hawaii – Surf School. My only regret is that I didn't have the time this trip to enroll in a multi-day surfing camp there. Not only does Edison have the best smile in the Hawaiian Islands, he helps give even a struggling beginner like myself a huge smile during and after my first lesson. Edison's simple instructions on the shore, followed by encouraging reminders in the water, immediately make even a novice surfer confident she can catch a wave.

  • Incredible first time. Hi, Edison! I can't express to you enough what an incredible experience I had in Hawaii (especially Haleiwa!) and the icing on the cake was my surf lesson with Kailani. He helped me so much! As you know, the most exhausting thing while learning to surf is managing the paddling and Kailani was a life saver! Not only was he so helpful and professional, but would evaluate and give me feedback after every ride and tell me what I was doing wrong to help me improve. I felt so safe as well... I should mention that safety was a #1 priority when looking for a school to take my first surfing lesson and knowing that your instructors are all certified was a prerequisite. My experience was amazing! I actually got up and surfed! What else could I ask for? You helped me conquer a dream – you must love your job! Thank you again for all of hospitality and for teaching me yoga! Not only did I have the most extraordinary experience of my life, but I have a friend for life! You'd better come and visit me in Miami! I hope to see all of you again soon!

  • Step by step. Edison, you were so wonderful working with a large group and you welcomed the unique challenges of deafness. I liked the 1-2-3 steps that you showed on the beach too. As for feedback... what can I say?? The day spent with all of you was the top highlight of our entire trip! The students could not stop talking about it. We really enjoyed the clear teaching and the patience with the communication issues. The students really liked the personal touch and even gave both of you name signs. Hope to keep in touch!

  • Edison, I spent a week with you and I think there's the most fun week in my life. You're so nice and so patient. I discovered the North Shore with you… Laniakea, Chun's Reef, Turtle Bay Resort, and others. Beautiful places, wonderful memories! Today, I paddle so much better and I know why, the best surf teacher of Haleiwa who's Edison and great yoga teacher, Juliana. The best recipe to be in good health! I wish you go in France in my city, to discover the Alpes! We're friends for life! Thanks for everything and I will go back in Hawaii the next summer with many French gifts for you! Take care.
