What Reviewers Say
Where to start? From the first phone call to wrapping up, Noah, Dakota, and Elijah were incredible to work with! My two disabled children had private lessons and they were taken care of - individualized lessons, advancing based on their comfort level in the water, and super focused on safety. The photo package was reasonably priced and the pictures were amazing. Can’t say enough about these guys and the whole operation. Definitely will come back!!

Just the best and patient and friendly bunch of instructors!! I lost my GoPro in the middle of the ocean and thought it was gone forever until Owen pulled a miracle and found it for me! Make sure to ask for photos as they take the best action shots!!

One of the most fun experiences we had as a family in Hawaii. Tyler and Dakota were great instructors and all of us stood up on the boards. Highly recommend this shop for lessons or to rent any beach equipment you need.

NOAH was awesome! Great experience for our crew. We all got great waves and got to stand for most of them :)

So much fun! Jamie calmed my daughter’s nerves and got her standing up on her first wave! We surfed in a quiet spot away from all the Waikiki crowds. The photos were a nice touch too

I want to thank everyone at Beach Candy Waikiki/School of Surf. I popped in early each day this week about 10mins before they actually opened so I could grab a couple of chairs and head down to the 12 Coconuts AA meeting that started at 7am. I was never turned away and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Note, might want to have the staff check the pouches of the chairs upon return. I forgot an item (shoes) in one of the chairs and we could not find them the next day. We went thru like 80 ch
