"Great Day and Great Fun. Highly Recommend. You WILL surf!" ~ K. Hollenbach, St. Louis, MO (July 08')

"I am a pretty experienced surfer and during a family vacation to the Big Island, I wanted a guide that would take me to a great surf break for a 1/2 day of surfing. Kona Mike set me up with one of his instructor/guides, another guy named "Mike". He was great, with loads of local knowledge, and a colorful personality. We surfed good waves with no crowds....it was exactly what I was looking for! Mahalo." ~ David, San Diego, California (July 08')

"The surfing lesson was the highlight of my week long trip. Kona Mike and his team were great...they were able to explain what we had to do to surf for the first time and they did it well. Before the lesson I didn't think I was going to catch any waves but with Mike's and Abe's help I was able to do a little bit of surfing on my first time out. I definitely recommend Kona Mike's to anyone visiting Kona!" ~ Ryan, Chicago (June 08')

"Thanks, Mike. We had a blast! I never thought I'd be able to get up on the board and surf a wave, but you made it so much easier than I thought. I'm planning to come back to you when we return to the Big Island." ~ N. Schwartz, New York (June 08')

"I'm really glad that I had the chance to learn how to surf with Mike! Not only did he make both my parents and me feel very safe on the water, but also made surfing an extremely fun activity. The other instructors also gave me great advice whenever they happened to pass by me in the water. The instructors are really fun to talk to and very laid back! I recommend this experience with Mike for anyone who is up for an exciting surfing adventure." ~ K. Kim, Madison, WI (June 08')

"I had a great time surfing with Mike. I was really nervous and he made me feel very comfortable and fast out on the water. He was very encouraging and funny and I just had a blast and look forward to doing it again soon." ~ E. Motloch, San Antonio, TX (June 08')

"Mike's knowledge of both the local surf breaks and the local surfing community makes for a great experience for surfers of all abilities. I had fantastic time (too short) and I look forward to a future surf session with Mike and his crew. " ~ C. Harper, McLean, VA (June 08')

"Mike and his staff are very nice and professional. They are very knowledgeable about the ocean, surfing, and especially safety in the water. In the “pre-lesson” at his store front, Mike went over all the safety procedures and issues, and then we “practiced” with a surf board, paddling dos and don’t and “pop-ups”. I had a private lesson. My instructor, Jen, was great. She tailored everything to my specific level of skill and built on it. I expressed to her my goals and expectations and she not only met but exceeded them. I couldn’t have been more pleased. I came away from Hawaii with the time I spent in the water with Jen as the highlight of the week I spent in the Islands. Next time I go to Hawaii, the first thing I’ll do upon arrival, will be to call Kona Mike’s, find Jen, and hit the water." ~ L. Stark (June '08)

"Paul had a great time surfing, and we had a great time watching everyone! If we ever get back to Hawaii, we sure know who to get in touch with for more surfing. Thanks for a great morning at the beach--we'll never forget that part of our vacation!!!" ~ K. & M. Andrejko (June '08)

"Awesome! I had so much fun and I really learned how to surf
thanks to Mike and his amazing instructor Jenn! I got over my fear and nervousness and now I am definately hooked! I recommend Kona Mike's absolutely!." ~ A. Laurence (June '08)

"The instructors for my daughter and I were outstanding. They were diligent, knowledgable, but most of all, we felt like we were surfing with good buddies." ~ F. Berl (April '08)
