The Boys Are Stoked

Below is a great batch of photos showing guys having the time of their lives at Hans Hedemann Surf School.

Think he knew where the camera was ?? !!

In a longboard contest, you actually get points for doing this pose named “The Chief”.  (not many points)

Gotta love having Diamond Head in the background.

Sister Surf Lesson

9 year-old Samatha and her 12 year-old sister Julia were lucky enough to have a semi-private surf lesson with Johnny Boy Gomes.

They got up right away and caught many waves together.

Here, Julia is riding forward while sitting down and Samatha is riding backwards.

Great day, lasting memories.

Practice Makes Perfect

Before every surf lesson at Hans Hedemann Surf School, we do a land lesson.  We teach the motions of how to stand up.

When we run the Roxy and Quiksilver Surf Camp, our students do not need the basics so we can take their training to the next level.

Practice in the shop >>>>

Perfect in the water.

Biggest Swell in 4 Years !!!

HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES

Surf along south facing shores will be 7 to 10 feet today, then lower to 6 to 9 feet on Monday surf along east facing shores will 2 to 4 feet through Monday surf along west facing shores will be 5 to 7 feet today, then lower to 4 to 6 feet on Monday.

Surf along north facing shores will be 2 feet or less through Monday.

Outlook through Saturday Jun 20: a series of south and southeast swells will keep the surf elevated along south facing shores through the week. A small out of season northwest swell may fill in on Thursday and linger into the weekend. Trade winds will continue to provide small, short period surf along east facing shores.

Crazy FUN Private Lesson

This lesson was so fun because, John was a little nervous when we first started paddling out.  As soon as he saw the camera, he changed into a different kid.

He looked at me and said, “I’m a beaver.”.

John’s mom came out to surf too.  She caught this wave with us.

Not nervous.

Mom and son

First time surfing >>>>  Taking surf lessons at Hans Hedemann Surf School is like NO WHERE ELSE !!!!

Make memories at HH Surf !
