We are an active family of 4 with a tween and teen. We selected the family package with a family member under 12 years old. The entire crew was supportive, safety oriented, and helpful. We were comfortable and felt safe with Cole, Jupiter, and then rest of the crew. Since we were a party of 4 and had two terrific instructors, we barely waited before it was our turn to try and catch another wave. The crew kept us in a steady pattern launching two of us, while the other two swam back out and briefly waited. We also got positive, helpful feedback from our instructors and the rest of the crew. Everyone in our family got up and rode a wave multiple times thanks to the instructors setting us up and the crew giving us reminders. Mahalo!
Our family was with a larger group of 6-7 people who worked with other instructors. It all worked out fine. We had such a great area of the beach that wasn’t crowded, so it worked well.
Improvements: The website was a bit confusing and I’m still unsure if I paid the correct amount since we had a tween that met the family retirements and then had to add on two additional family members. Instead of having odd signups, the website should use the ages provided and make the calculations.
Pro tip: sunscreen the back of your legs, your glutes, and your lower back. Then do it again to be safe. We weren’t as thorough as we should have been and got a bit pink. Still worth it.
