I was looking for an experience that both inspired me to grow and allowed me to recharge my batteries both physically and mentally. On this amazing trip, I felt my worries and stress from the previous year’s hardships melt away, allowing me the chance for some much needed inner reflection. My surfing instructor and island guide, Kailani, made every moment special with care and concern for all of my needs. He was an excellent surfing instructor, giving me both guidance when needed and freedom to explore my developing skills when wanted. My accommodations were perfect as he made care to make me feel at home. I would highly recommend this trip for those who want to experience more than just a surfing trip and really get a sense of what the north shore of Oahu has to offer.
