--------------------------------------------------------------------------- DatesVisited: 3/2/03 PermissionToShare: yes Mahalos-Feedback: Hi Lilikoi, We want to write and thank you for the Best Vacation of our lives! We had such a great time at Garden Luau! The surfing lessons in Poipu were just fantastic! Nathan taught both our daughters for 3 & 4 days and they both had the time of their lives! Both got up the first day and by day 3 were learning to do turns, etc. I sat happily watching their progress. Nathan is just a great teacher! Jamie was so flexible and helpful with our plans too! ... It was a memory we will all treasure! Thank you so much Lilikoi for your hard work and help in getting our "act together". We enjoyed this vacation more than we imagined. Of course we will be back... just as soon and as often as possible. This was my first time snorkeling... and what a place I chose to learn! A sea turtle swam up to me! Saw whales (a lot), monk seals, sea turtles, and fish too numerous to recount. Heaven on earth can't come closer for me than your WONDERFUL KAUAI and the Beautiful PEOPLE. Aloha. Sher and Family |

Dates Visited: July 21 - 28 Permission To Share: yes Mahalos-Feedback: My son, Brendan, and I signed up for lessons with Russell Lewis. Russell worked well with my teenage son while giving the proper amount of attention to me (mid 40's). We had both taken several lessons on previous trips to California but felt like we started over for the better. Russell took the time to not only explain things but make sure we understood the cause/effect relationship of his instruction. He was very patient and good-humored throughout our lessons. We progressed more in three lessons with Russell than in over three weeks of previous private lessons. Couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Mahalo!

"Russell has shown the utmost in professionalism
both in coaching his sport and in handling of the guests who wish to take
his classes. We have received only positive feedback on his lessons
and coaching abilities. It is difficult to please everyone all of
the time in the resort activities business, however, Russell Lewis has
managed to do just that in handling of our guests."

are always more than happy to find an excuse to get in the water and teach
their stuff.
You are guaranteed to stand during your first lesson. They use safe, soft foam boards and emphasize safe surfing and wave dynamics. For the more experienced, we have a selection of short and long fiberglass boards. Each lesson takes about an hour and a half and includes board and instructor. When And Where: Surf Sessions 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
All year, call to schedule.

$15/day(soft-board or hardboard),
