“Eddie tailors the surfing lessons to the student. My granddaughter was excited, but nervous about it. She underestimated the physicality of surfing but tried, even after falling off. Pay attention to the safety instructions, particularly about falling and potentially hitting coral. She really liked having Eddie as her instructor and felt that he was very respectful of her (my words, hers would be that he was cool). Additionally, we were running late from Ka'annapali due the the debris being hauled out of Lahaina and stayed in contact with WAVES. We were a few minutes late for the private lesson and appreciate Eddie's working with us! Mahalo!”
