Surf School in Waikiki

MICAH WAS AMAZING!!! It was me and my girlfriend's first time ever surfing and he made it an unforgettable experience. He was extremely accommodating, attentive, and kind. Micah is a wonderful teacher with great patience and knowledge. We had many great conversations and he made it very easy for us to learn/ made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. We had a very fun and exciting time, Micah was very entertaining and made sure we were happily enjoying ourselves. He even took the extra care and time to make sure we got enough footage to take home. We absolutely loved our lesson and will be hitting the waves again, thank you so much again Micah! 100/10 experience. 🙂

What an amazing experience. I was so nervous to have my two kids (8 & 7) surf in the water, but Mickey was such a pro and put me at ease. He made my kids feel so comfortable and most of all he made sure they had fun. I can really tell that he loves teaching and surfing. I HIGHLY recommend him for anyone who wants to have the best surfing experience for their kids. 100% this will go down as a core memory for me and my kids.

The absolute BEST!! My boyfriend and I did a lesson with Mickey and had an awesome time. My boyfriend had some experience and I had none, so I was really nervous. Mickey was able to balance giving both of us the instruction we needed. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to stand by the end of the lesson, so I was really pleasantly surprised at how well he taught us and how well I did. I would recommend these lessons to everyone. Mickey cares about his students and gives a personalized experience that you wouldn't get with a large group in bigger surf schools. He even took us to grab a bite after and shared the photos/videos for free. The price is competitive and you're getting so much more than you would with other surf schools. Thank you Mickey!!

The absolute BEST!! My girlfriend and I did a lesson with Mickey and had an awesome amazing super fantastic time! I haven't surfed in a few years and he helped me get my confidence back immediately! I've been surfing since I was 12 but I've never been this large before and I was worried I'd do nothing but wipe out for the entire lesson! Mickey got me up, Mickey showed me the joy that is surfing again, Mickey is the BEST! I could not ask for a better teacher!

The best day on Waikiki Beach—Mickey’s Surf School Thanks Micah and Mickey’s Surf School for our best day on Waikiki Beach! Our family of 6 (ages 18-49) had an amazing morning of group surfing lessons with Micah. He made the day fun, as we all learned to stand and ride the waves. He even filmed us with his GoPro, giving us a great video memory of our lesson! We cannot recommend Mickey’s Surf School enough—if you’re looking for a fun surfing lesson (from beginner to advanced), Micah is your guy! We can’t wait to come back and take another lesson!! Mahalo Micah!!

Writing this because Mickey is a genuine person who deserves the recognition for his outstanding character. He does it for the love of the community and sport. You could not ask for a better teacher! If you have the opportunity to book a session with him, you'll be in good hands rest assured.

Mickey is the BEST! He's an awesome teacher, surfer, and super cool guy! I wouldn't trust anyone else teaching my son to surf. You'll have a great time and once in a lifetime experience. We spent over a year in Hawaii and surf lessons were a huge highlight. My son can't wait to come back to Hawaii to surf with Uncle Mickey again!

Mickey is hands-down THE BEST!!! Every time I'm in Honolulu for work, I have to sneak in a surf session with him -- it's non-negotiable. Whether you're a total beginner or brushing up your skills, Mickey makes every moment out on the water feel like magic. What makes Mickey truly special? It's his unmatched positive energy! The second you meet him, you feel at ease -- like you're paddling out with a longtime friend. He knows exactly how to balance fun and safety, and he somehow always knows just what you need -- whether it's a pep talk, a new technique, or just a laugh.And talk about the details -- Mickey's thought of everything. Locked buggy for your stuff? Check. Quality gear provided? Check. Awesome video footage of your ride so you can relive the glory and maybe show off a little? Oh, definitely. ‍He's not just a an amazing surf coach, he's a genuinely awesome human. I've taken lessons all over the place, and Mickey is the one I always return to -- and send all my friends and coworkers to, too (they're all obsessed now).So yeah -- if you're in Oahu and even thinking about catching a wave, go surf with Mickey. He's a total legend, and your future surf-loving self will thank you.

Micah is a kind hearted human being with a true love for surfing. It is no wonder why he is well known and respected by people the local surfers. He is very knowledgeable about surfing, making him a great teacher. I went in not knowing anything about surfing and by the end of my lesson, I was able to catch a wave all on my own! Truly a patient teacher but gives positive feedback so you can learn how to surf properly I say he is a great teacher because he not only taught me but he also gave me a love for surfing. This was definitely the highlight of my trip, discovering a new hobby. Not only that but now I have a friend here in Hawaii, Micah. Truly, if you have ever wanted to try surfing, this is your sign to do so! You will have the best teacher in Oahu and for a great price!

If you're trying to decide who to go with for a surf lesson, go with Mickey! He was absolutely awesome!! My sister-in-law and I took a lesson with him this afternoon, and it was the time of our lives. Mickey is a true professional at what he does. You won't regret surfing with him!

We had the absolute best experience with Mickey's Surf School in Waikiki today! Mickey gave surf lessons to my two kids, and I can honestly say it was the highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we met him, Mickey was fun, playful, and incredibly engaging. He has a natural talent for connecting with kids in a way that's developmentally spot-on--he kept their attention the entire time, made them laugh, encouraged them, and got them so excited to surf. One of my sons is typically shy, but Mickey made him feel completely at ease and confident enough to head out on the board. It was amazing to watch! Both kids caught tons of waves, and somehow Mickey managed to get it all on video--what a priceless memory! By the end of the session, my kids were absolutely beaming and said this was "the best day EVER." They now idolize Mickey, and I can't say I blame them. Mickey is a truly special person--his passion, patience, and positive energy made this an unforgettable experience for our family. If you're in Waikiki and thinking about surf lessons for your kids (or yourself!), do not hesitate. We cannot recommend Mickey enough. Thank you for a day we'll never forget!

Micah is a true professional! Patient and attentive to students of all ages! He tailors the experience to you and treats you like family!

This was our first surf lesson for our boys, ages 9 and 13. We found Mickey on Yelp and couldn't be more impressed. He was patient and a fantastic instructor. We plan to hire him one or two more times during this trip since our boys had so much fun. We were so impressed that both of our boys were able to get up surfing during their first session and their skills continued to progress! Thanks Mickey!

So organized with planning, friendly and kind. Truly exemplifies the true aloha life! ‍
