It was a one of a kind experience. Christopher is an amazing tutor and Natalie is an amazing person in general, we've had plenty of meaningful conversations and spent a lot of valuable time in the ocean.

Christopher is an excellent teacher! His respect and love for the practice is unquestionable. I’m grateful to have found, dat of, a teacher who emphasized the ideology and understanding your relationship with the waves. He guides in a way that equips you with the knowledge you need to feel more in control and capable. It felt like a reminder of what my body already knew instead of something I wasn’t experienced in. Super positive and sweet people. Would definitely take classes consistently if I lived over there! Mahalo Christopher and Natalie!

I had an amazing time during my lesson with Christopher! He was very patient and gave clear / precise instructions that helped me feel confident despite being a beginner. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering and wish their Alolkai business all the best!

Christopher is a great teacher and has so much knowledge of the ocean. I learned a lot and he made me more comfortable than before. I will be booking more sessions.
