Visiting Surf Instructor: Jade

Jade Tindle came out to Hawaii for a few weeks to escape the clutter of California.  He has been instructor for the Paskowitz Surf School and has done a lot of volunteer work for Surfer’s Healing.

We were stoked to get an experienced waterman to come out and teach some surf lessons at HH Surf.

Very statuesque cross-step

Summer swell in on the South Shore of Oahu.  I like the way Jade’s hair is flying in the wind.

He made this wave too >>>>

Jade you are welcome back to Hans Hedemann Surf School anytime.

Mahalo for your hard work and great attitude.

Team Ron Montanaro

Ron brought in his friends for a surf lesson.

Of course, Ron teaches how to style while riding a wave.

One wave and 3 surfers.  Normally our instructors need to give a student a push into a wave for them to stand up.

Ron was able to teach his students to catch their own waves within the first hour.

I like these photos of Ron’s feet taken from underwater.

Ron Montanaro teaches unforgettable surf lessons.

Another Great Family Surf Lesson

During a two hour surf lesson, some people are able to get the basics down so well that they can try more advanced moves on a surfboard.

In this case, two parents went tandem surfing with their children.

All four on one wave.

As they surf closer to the cameraman it is difficult to get them all in the same frame.

Father and son surfing.

Mother and daughter.

Finally, as the sun hid behind a cloud and James hid behind the son >>>

the whole family got a great photo.

Just need a little Photo-shop to hide the instructor.

Such an amazing family surf photo.

Love is in the Air

Our instructors at Hans Hedemann Surf School help students stand up and ride many waves during their surf lessons.  We also try to make lasting memories.

Often we can get a couple to catch a wave on the same board.

She jumped into his arms >>>>

These are first time surfers tandem surfing

At the time of their lesson they were still just boyfriend and girlfriend >>> Maybe they are married now ….

These two were AMAZING.

Can you tell they are having fun????

Happy honeymoon memories at Hans Hedemann Surf !

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.

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 !
