  • Best part of our trip!

    Such a fun surf lesson! Conor was super chill, knowledgeable and easy to learn from. He explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable before getting in the water. We caught quite a few waves which was awesome! It was just a good time overall and we had so much fun we took a second lesson with him! 10/10 experience and I definitely recommend it if you’re thinking about trying surfing! 🌊🏄🏻‍♀️

  • Unforgettable North Shore 7 AM Surf Session

    What a score! The 7 AM group lesson became a private session with Conor. His coaching was perfect. Tailored in some snowboarding analogies. Felt safe and encouraged the whole time. Best experience in O’ahu!

  • Fun, Safe, and Unforgettable Surfing with Conor!

    My surf lesson with Conor was one of the highlights of my trip to Hawaii. It was only my second time surfing, and the idea of doing it on the North Shore felt a little intimidating at first, but Conor made the experience fun, comfortable, and incredibly informative. Even my mom (who’s afraid of the ocean!) got out on the water and felt completely at ease the entire time. I wish I’d had more time, because I’d absolutely book another class with him. Thanks so much, Conor!

  • Great Experience – first timer surf experience

    Surfing with Conner was one of the best parts of our trip to Oahu. He took our two teenage boys out for their first lessons—twice—and was great with them. Patient, easygoing, and made it fun from the start.

    They were up and riding waves and had a blast. We felt comfortable with Conner right away and fully trusted him. Solid guy, total pro.

    If you’re looking for someone dependable and great with kids, book with Conner.

  • Amazing time surf lesson

    Thank you so much for the wonderful surfing lessons and being out on the ocean with you. Was wonderful with all your guidance. It was something I always wanted to do was to surf in North Shore Oahu and now I can say I did it. I highly recommend anybody to take the private lesson for surfing. You get a lot more one-on-one in teaching. Thank you again for everything. Had an amazing time.
