HOKALI – After School & Camps in San Francisco, California

“My boys had an amazing first time surfing experiences with their coaches, Robert and Alvaro! Especially coach Robert he was really patient and had so much experiences with special needs kids, he made it comfortable and fun so they enjoy the water, help them gain their confidences, over come their fear of big waves throughout the whole entire lesson. It was so joyful to watch my boys had such a fun time during their l”

“Started lessons with Hokali coaches in 2021 and had great experience with booking surf lessons for myself and my son. Last year had awesome sessions with Scotty Wagner. Scotty is from Hawaii and his patient, kind, enthusiastic vibe is contagious. Great with my son toou2014funny, generous, and safety conscious. Hokali booking is overly complicated this year but good coaching brings me back. Today surfed with James Tostado”

“Such a great experience enabled by the best surf instructor!! I set up a lesson with Nacho, the man. During the lesson, he was very good at explaining the basics of surf, which got me on my feet a couple of times. What I enjoyed the most, though, was that besides the technique, he taught me about the lifestyle of a surfer, which I loved. I felt it was a very complete and enriching experience, sure to be repeated and ”

“My boys 13 and 15 had a beginner surf lesson with Scotty. He was awesome! The boys had a great time and learned a lot. It was easy to book the lesson on line and there was excellent communication at every step of the way: booking, night before lesson, instruction and post lesson report. We highly recommend and we will definitely be back for another lesson.”

“Scotty is amazing! Iu2019ve taken one private group lesson and 3 solo lessons with him so far.

“I did a lesson a few weeks ago with a friend of mine and had the best experience! Gaia was our instructor and she was lovely. It was my first time ever and she made me feel really safe and comfortable. She was extremely patient and encouraging and it made me really want to continue with the sport. I also feel like it was a really reasonable price for all the rental gear and the one on one teaching. Canu2019t wait to go a”

“James was our instructor for a couple's lesson, and he was amazing! We are beginners, and he was clear about how we should do basic things and how to correct mistakes. He made sure we stayed safe, and made sure we got the full experience, even when it cut into his own time. His sense of humor was also on point, so we were laughing and learning and had a great time. Highly recommended!!”
