View on Google MapsJake provided an awesome experience! We went for a sunset lesson on Waikiki Beach. I have taken surf lessons in a number of places, and Jake really helped me to start moving into the next phase of surfing - getting up without the push! I was able to catch several waves, and he gave me plenty of pointers to get up and stay up. Jake was very personable and ensured we were a safe distance from other surfers while catching the best waves. Thanks for a great time!
First surfing experience... and it was the best part of my Hawaii visit. The instructor, Jake, was very accommodating, patient, and encouraging. I was able to stand and surf after some tries, and through it all, Jake ensured I was learning so I could eventually do it all on my own, wherever I decide to surf in the future. Lifelong learning for sure, and the cherry on top was memorable videos and photos taken by Jake.
Jake is a fantastic instructor- knowledgeable, patient, and personable. Great way to spend the morning and catching some waves. Even with my not-so-great knee and wrist(!) Jake found me great long rides so I could take my time getting up! I’m sure I’ll do it again next time I’m here. Highly recommend !

Jake is an awesome surf instructor! I stood up on the board in my first lesson, and he was so kind and encouraging the whole time. He even stayed longer so I could catch a better wave. I loved the experience so much that I booked another lesson during the same trip. The photos and videos were a great bonus and such a nice memory to keep. Highly recommend!
Nice and easy waters. He tries to make sure you get up on and stand and get great photos! Best instructor and experience compared to doing this in Biarritz and Bondi Beach. Especially good for children and fearful surfers
Jake is a super experienced instructor, he is very friendly, always with big smiles on his face. He is very enthusiastic about helping us and is very patient, which helps the kids develop an interest and confidence in surfing. My daughter was only 4 years old last year and is now 5. Both times we've come to Hawaii, she learned to surf with Jake, and as a result, she really loves surfing. I highly recommend that both adults and kids who want to surf in Hawaii get in touch with Jake to make your Hawaii trip even more amazing.
We had a fantastic experience with Manifesting Aloha Surf School in Honolulu. Our instructor Jake was super patient, beginner-friendly, and really knows how to coach you into success. He helped us paddle out, positioned us perfectly, and gave clear, real-time guidance on when to go and what angle to take so we could actually catch waves. Because of Jake’s coaching, I stood up multiple times, and by the end I was riding larger waves too. The lesson felt safe, hands-on, and personalized the whole way through. If you’re new to surfing and want a supportive instructor who will genuinely help you progress fast, book with them. Mahalo!
I had an amazing surfing lesson and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The instructor was extremely professional, patient, and encouraging, which made a huge difference, especially for someone who wants to progress quickly. Everything was explained clearly, from safety rules to proper technique, and the feedback in the water was spot on. The lesson was well organized, fun, and motivating from start to finish. I felt comfortable and confident the whole time, and I actually managed to catch several waves. Great vibe, great energy, and great results. I would absolutely recommend this surfing lesson to anyone, beginner or intermediate.
My instructor was patient and personable and the whole experience was super fun even in the cloudy weather. He brought me a wet suit top to make sure i was warm and gave clear instructions which lead to a successful surf outing!! 10/10 recommend
One word: outstanding. Jake went above and beyond: an excellent teacher and great surfing coach. It was my first time trying it out and he ensured I was not only ready but encouraging all the way. If you're looking for a private lesson that gets you the Hawaii surfing experience: use this company.
