Chris made our surfing lesson on the Big Island a wonderful experience. As a semi-private session, the instruction was personal, patient, and encouraging. My wife and I really enjoyed being on the water with him. If you are looking for a great surf experience in Kailua-Kona, we highly recommend Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea Rentals and Chris.

My son and I took our first surfing lessons with Chris and the team at Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea Rentals, and we were blown away. The staff here are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely focused on making sure you have a great time. From start to finish, the experience was positive, helpful, and friendly. If you are looking for an unforgettable way to learn how to surf in Kona, look no further. Mahalo for the amazing experience!

My son and I had a fantastic week in Kona and couldn’t resist catching some waves at Kahalu’u Bay. It actually brought back great memories; I first learned to surf here in 2013 with my girlfriend thanks to Ben, the owner. He was just as patient and skilled then as he is now. We rented boards for both visits, and the service was top-notch. Ben and his staff took the time to fit us properly and walked us through everything we needed to know. If you’re looking for a reliable surf shop in Kailua-Kona to help you get out on the water, I can’t recommend Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea Rentals enough.

Mike made our two-hour session in Kailua-Kona truly memorable. Deb and I had an amazing time learning the ropes, and his friendly guidance made the experience so enjoyable. If you are looking for a great way to get into surfing, I highly recommend Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea Rentals. A perfect five-star experience!

Ben is a fantastic instructor who made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. He kept the energy high and really focused on ensuring we were having a great time. I’d highly recommend this Kailua-Kona location to anyone looking to surf. The staff was incredibly attentive, too—I especially want to thank the woman at the counter for quickly helping my wife with a small scrape. It was great that they allowed us to bring our own GoPro, which let me capture my first attempts at standing up on the board. This activity was definitely a highlight of our vacation. Mahalo to the whole team! Ben, if you ever see this, sorry the video of us catching that wave together didn’t turn out as planned.

Hands down the best surf experience in Kailua-Kona! Our energetic teenager absolutely loved the lesson and appreciated having a little time away from the parents. It really added that perfect touch to our Hawaii vacation. Thanks for everything—we are definitely coming back to Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea Rentals!

Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea Rentals truly embodies the spirit of Aloha. Isha and Ben made our second surf lesson unforgettable, leaving my eight-year-old daughter and me energized and eager for the next time we hit the waves. Their positive attitude and constant smiles created such a welcoming vibe in the water. Beyond just paddling out, they genuinely teach students how to read the ocean conditions and find joy in the experience. With such a beautiful backdrop in Kailua-Kona, this was easily one of the best memories we’ve made on the Big Island.

I had a fantastic experience at Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea Rentals in Kailua-Kona. The instructors and staff are incredibly welcoming, and they break down the techniques in a way that is super easy to grasp. What really sets this school apart is the small group size, which allows for plenty of individual attention. On my very first lesson, I managed to catch my first wave immediately, which was amazing. I have returned a few times since then, and every session has been just as enjoyable as the first.

I just started learning to surf and had an amazing time with Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea Rentals. The instructor was fantastic—patient, knowledgeable, and really fun. I actually caught my first wave! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great lesson. As a bonus, I even spotted a turtle swimming right next to me.

If you want a clean, fun day in Kailua-Kona, Kahaluu Bay Surf & Sea is the spot. They organized a fantastic outing for us that included surfing, snorkeling, and a paddleboard lesson. Make sure to request McKenna for photos—she captured the perfect shot of me catching a wave. I’ll cherish these memories forever. Thanks, Kahaluu Bay!
