Kona surf company provided me with my first surfing experience and I was extremely happy with it! Austin was the instructor for my boyfriend and I and he was very informative, patient, and lots of fun.

He was also very encouraging if I didn't catch the wave quite right and gave me helpful and precise tips on how to readjust what I was doing wrong.

Nalu was incredibly encouraging throughout the session offering the right advice for my skill level- Which was zero lol. I had a blast and would recommend this crew to any and all who...
