"Best week of my life 🫶"
Honestly not excepted this week to be so amazing. Jason was a great host, tour guide AND of course : surf instructor. The house we lived in was dreamy and surfy. The vibes were relaxing, peaceful, everyone was caring, listening and open minded. This trip really filled my heart and my mind more than I would have expected. I fell in love with Hale’iwa and will surely come back. Thank you for these 5 amazing days. I will carry them in my heart always !

"Best experience ever "
This surf camp is a perfect combination of surfing, yoga, relaxing on the beach and discovering Oahu island. The location, Haleiwa, is stunning. Jason is an amazing host, always there to help! He is a really nice surf coach! He explains everything clearly, analyzes your mistakes and gives you a feedback. I felt very safe and confident when he was with us in the ocean. Everybody can pop up on a board with a coach like this. Yoga classes were very nice and matched perfectly with surfing. On the adventure day we spent our morning on a hike, exploring amazing, hidden places that Jason showed us and that you can only discover when you are guided by locals. Overall, it was an incredible experience and I would definitely recommend it! Hope I’ll be back soon:)

"Awesome time at surf camp"
Surfing and yoga was fun. Jason is a great surf instructor. The yoga with Sarabeth was also great! I enjoyed all the food we ate, and enjoyed where we stayed in Haleiwa. I would recommend this retreat if you’re considering it. I had a great time!

I had so much fun during my week of surfing, yoga, and nature! Jason is a great host and surf instructor. He's very patient, friendly, accommodating, and has great sense of humor. I could tell he genuinely loves showing folks a real north shore experience. He treated us all like visiting friends he wants to love surfing and Oahu as much as he does! Haleiwa is a one of a kind place and it was awesome staying someplace unique, away from the big resorts and hotels, just delicious food, friendly people, sea turtles, chickens, waves, and sunsets.
If you're a beginner surfer like i was and have no idea what to pack, just reach out and ask! Jason is super responsive and helpful.
The yoga instructors were both great, they adapted to the groups ability and requests and you can't beat the outdoor setting
The town is very walkable if you want to wander in your free time. All of the nearby food and coffee is amazing and healthy
At night you can prepare to relax! It's super mellow after dark, but you'll have no energy left at the end of that day anyway. The house is clean and comfortable and very much a beach house so a bit of sand or the occasional mosquito are normal. Hens and chicks roam the town and the roosters will let you know when it's time to get up (glad i brought ear plugs!) This was a fantastic trip and i recommend it to anyone wanting some active relaxation who's up for adventure and willing to make friends. I can't wait to go back and surf hawaii again!

"Unforgettable Hawaii experience "
I had no idea what to expect coming to this retreat, and I was beyond stoked after finishing 5 days with Jason and the other solo travellers I met. Jason is such a genuine bloke who made our stay and surfing lessons super enjoyable. Yoga with Sarabeth was also such a vibe (even as someone who hasn’t done much yoga before). I’m now leaving with a bank of happy memories, a full tummy of delicious foods and some lifelong friends. Definitely recommend booking this retreat, don’t think, just do :)

"Lovely time with great lessons"
I loved the surf and yoga lessons! I haven’t really done any before but Jason and his team really helped me realize what I was capable of and he also got me ready to surf anywhere on my own. It wasn’t just surfing but he also taught me how to pick the right waves and how to stay save, inspecting the ocean before going out there.
The location was great as well because it was right in the center of Haleiwa. Close to the beach and the Harbour and also close to surf shops, souvenir shops and food trucks/restaurants.

"Amazing week of surfing and yoga"
Jason was an exceptional host of the North Shore and an outstanding surfing teacher! This week was truly unforgettable. It felt like I was a local of the North Shore. The itinerary was well balanced with both activities and downtime, and Jason was very accommodating to my preferences for enjoying the week.

"Relaxed Surf Week with Locals"
Jason's warm and friendly nature makes you feel immediately at home. The lovingly renovated accommodation has everything you need and is in a prime location on the famous north shore of O'ahu.
He tailored the surf course exactly to our needs and chose the right spots depending on the weather. Before we went surfing for the first time, he talked us through the necessary theory and was always by our side in the water afterwards. I always felt that I was in good hands and safe!
The yoga lessons that took place at the same time were very relaxed. We were able to adjust the intensity exactly to our level.
When we weren't surfing, Jason showed us other parts of O'ahu and introduced us to his friends. It felt like being a local for a short time! :-)
I can definitely recommend the surf camp and would come again!

"Chase your own endless summer"
Jason was a great host and instructor with everything taken care of (from pick up at the airport, breakfast/dinner, rash guards to even sunscreen!) You get an intimate surf experience with a group no larger than 5. In addition, Sarah Beth’s yoga seshes were blissfully awesome. In addition, You get to try all the local eats, and you still have downtime to explore. The beach bungalow right in the heart of Haleiwa allows you to really feel like a north shore native. And with a different surf spot every day, this retreat makes it easy to chase your own endless summer.

"Incredible, Restorative, and Adventurous Retreat that"
The Halewai surf and yoga retreat was so delightful.
Jason was an incredible host and an amazing surfing instructor. He made everyone feel very comfortable with his sense of humor and genial disposition.
Yoga with Sara Beth was also amazing, she’s able to really work with each person’s body and made this non-yoga person really love yoga.
To clarify what the days looked like: usually we did yoga in the morning around 8, and then we had free time until surfing around 4 (the afternoons are less busy on the water, so it works well for beginners). One day was an adventure day and we paddled out to this beautiful hike on a little island. Jason provided delicious breakfast and dinner from local restaurants, which was really cool, to eat at a bunch of different local spots.
Me and my friend went together and stayed in the room with two beds. The vibe is a cute low-key beach bungalow- a kitchen, bathroom, little living room, and two other bedrooms. Towels, shampoo/conditioner/ soap/sunscreen were all provided.
Overall, I had an amazing, restorative and adventurous time. This is an experience you’d never get on a resort, and you really get to connect with local people. If you’re looking for an experience and you’re all about good vibes- don’t hesitate to book this!

"Best week ever!!"
I had the best week ever!!! Jason wasn't here for the week, but his friends took great care of us. Yoga was very nice and the surf sessions where absolutely great :) the area is really lovely. We also rented a car for our free time to get around.

"100% recommend"
Jason is the nicest guy who is very good at what he does. The yoga instructor Sarabeth is the absolute best. Location is 10/10. Jason showed us around the island, had us try the best foods and gave us lots of recommendations for our time on the island after the retreat.

"The most amazing experience!"
Going to this surfing & yoga camp was the best decision! It’s a fantastic option for solo travelers, but of course not only. We had a small group of 6 solo travelers and everyone got along wonderfully (some of us even continued traveling together after the camp). Jason truly went above and beyond to make this experience exceptional. He’s a really great instructor who makes everything fun. You can really relax here. Zero stress. We experienced amazing food and I couldn’t wish for more. It was my birthday during the stay and Jason surprised me with a charming celebration. On day 1 I felt like being with friends. The house was very charming with a surfing vibe. I couldn’t thank Jason enough for being such a great host and friend! And for his recommendations after the camp as well! I would definitely go back if ever in Hawaii.

"Surf & yoga camp "
The above & beyond experience!
Jason ensured I had everything I needed to feel comfortable during the retreat which included: accommodation, equipment, individual instructional strategies for surfing, even remembering which type of açai bowl I liked best for breakfast!

"Never thought I would be surfing in 4 days!"
The instructor Jason is really excellent. I was standing up on the board and surfing after the third wave during the very first session! His method of instruction is very effective for beginners. He believes in you more than you believe in yourself and he helps get you out of your head. I talked to other people in town taking surfing lessons with other instructors that said they had yet to actually stand up on the board after 3 sessions! Jason also has a very mellow attitude and is just fun to be around. He was an excellent host!

"Jason ist vermutlich der beste Surflehrer überhaupt"
Das Camp vermittelt einem, einen schönen hawaiianischen Vibe. Das Zimmer war sauber und chic hergerichtet. Alle konnten von Jasons langjähriger Surferfahrung profitieren und alle Teilnehmenden konnte ab den zweiten Tag bereits im Wasser auf dem Brett stehen.

"Best vacation I have ever had!"
I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this surf camp. If you're looking for a cute little camp where you get pushed into baby waves and they take your picture and that's it, this isn't the camp for you. If you actually want to learn to surf, improve FOR REAL, and push yourself both physically and mentally, Jason is your guy! I had the time of my life surfing everyday at the beautiful North Shore, and I was able to take my skills back home with me to San Diego :) My confidence as a surfer has greatly improved and it's all thanks to Jason.

"You'll get fomo if you don't do this"
This retreat exceeded my expectations. I really had no idea what I was in for when I booked with Jason, just that I hoped to confront my fear of being in the ocean. I felt like his program thoughtfully packages technical instruction with the mental preparation and physical restoration that guarantees a sense of accomplishment by the end of the week, beyond that of just getting on the board. The yoga instructor, Sarabeth, is incredibly sweet and mindful to our needs (and has the best taste in music). I've always wondered what someone who loves his job looks like -> Jason. Cool dude, easy-going and responsive to requests. As an instructor, he meets learners where they're at, is patient and encouraging, and provides constructive individualized coaching. Bonus: he makes a mean chicken quesadilla.
The house itself is conveniently located near shops and restaurants. House vibes are relaxed and comfy, more "my buddy's place" than the typical sterile Airbnb feel. Bikes and snorkel gear available. Towels and rash guards provided. Crucially, has AC! Bring earplugs for noisy roosters. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a perfect blend of wellness and adventure!

"Awesome Surf and Yoga Retreat"
I had such a great time in Haleiwa. The town is so pretty with lots of things to do. Jason was a great surf teacher and the food was also amazing. He made everything so easy for us. The surf lessons were so much fun and I really enjoyed it. On the adventure day it was really bad weather but he did his best to make it a good day for us. And it was a great day :) I would love to come again in this retreat :)

"Idealer Plan von Montag bis Freitag"
Super Mischung aus Surfen, Yoga, sonstigen Aktivitäten und Freizeit! Jason und Sarabeth sind zwei sehr freundliche und erfahrene Lehrer in ihrem jeweiligen Bereich. Die Planung der Woche war flexibel und den Teilnehmern angepasst. Das Essen war abwechslungsreich und hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt. Danke für die erlebnisreiche Woche!

"Awesome experience and just what I needed"
The whole retreat is very personal and you can feel that Jason puts his heart and soul into it. The surf lessons were fun. The instructions are clear and Jason is responsible and tries his best to cater to everyone's needs. The yoga lessons with Sarabeth are in a beautiful setting and the perfect complement to the week. If the weather and surf conditions are too bad, Jason has a Plan B and you don´t get bored.
All in all I can definitely recommend the retreat :)

"Hawaiian Surf and Fun Clinic "
The best part of this surf camp is it's structure. Jason designed the week to build the students into picking up the skills of the sport. I have surfed before and had some experience but wanted to hone the fundamentals and I successfully rode several waves with lateral movements during the week. With effort and persistence, a student will surf and feel amazing doing it!
There are yoga sessions added to the course which is absolutely crucial for injury prevention. Waves of Hawaii is quite brutal and getting into the water can be unforgiving. I stayed injury free except for some skin scratches. Having done yoga in the past but had a big gap in its practice has given me an opportunity to work on existing injuries and ambition to get back into the practice. The instructor Sarabeth is very knowledgeable and will get the students ready for the surf sessions.
Jason provides a very clean place to stay and cooks incredibly delicious and healthy meals in the morning and evening. He is wise beyond his years on this planet to speak freely and heal the soul. He's an inspiration to his students to go beyond the limits of our daily grind and pursue living a productive and exciting life. Though I am a few years older than him, I soaked in his life stories to learn anything I could.
As someone who has aspirations for exciting trips but hates creating itineraries, this trip is built for anyone to simply follow and augment it with side options to have a memorable Hawaiian vacay!

"Best Surf Instructor and Best Retreat"
Everything was great. Jason cooked up amazing food and the accommodations were cozy and inviting.
Mostly tho, the surf instruction was top-notch.
Jason really has a knack for seeing exactly where you need to improve and explaining it to you in a friendly, understandable way.
I improved so much over just one week and had a blast doing it. You really get the feeling that Jason wants you to love surfing as much as he does, and by the end he succeeded for us.
Couldn't imagine a better value for the experience that we had. Highly recommend!

If you want to experience not only surf and yoga, but also Oahu’s north shore and the aloha lifestyle like a local, then this is your retreat to book. I had THE BEST TIME! And to be honest, even with all the information on the website, I still didn’t really know what I had booked. :D But wow, I was not disappointed at all.
Let’s start with Jason: He’s an amazing host. I could tell from the very first minute he picked me up from the airport that he puts his heart in this retreat. It shows in a lot of ways: He's so much fun to be with, he creates a very safe space for surf beginners, his home is lovely and the food was sooooooooo good! Plus: the schedule of the week is well balanced and leaves time for activities to recover from surfing and discover other adventures on the island.
Aaaaw and then there's Sarabeth, the yoga instructor! She and Jason are such a good match. Yoga helped to improve balance, strength and mental readiness for the surf board and to relax the sore muscles afterwards. I can affirm, as a yoga teacher myself, that she teaches her creative and fun classes in a very high quality.
I would TOTALLY come back - anytime! Mahalo Jason :)

"Just what I was looking for"
I wanted to travel to the North Shore and experience it like a local (or like a friend visiting). No big groups, close to the action, insider access. Initially, I was traveling solo but at the last minute had two others join me for a few days. Jason was the perfect ambassador! We enjoyed the attentive beginner surf lessons in the safe-feeling environment of the bay, while later watching the totally awesome pros at the Banzai Pipe Masters. I needed the restorative beach yoga with the beautiful SarahBeth. I loved our adventurous hike on Ka'ena Point with albatross, napping monk seals, and whale spottings! Ended the trip with an unforgettable Haleiwa sunset, a glass of wine, lightning in the distance, and new friends! Just what I wanted for this vacation. Also, thank you for the lift to the airport, Jason!
