Incredible surf camp
This week of surf has been unforgettable. I've improved my skills in surf, I've practiced yoga and I've discovered different great places in Oahu. The volunteers were welcoming and kindly. Daniel welcomed us in an amazing house in Haleiwa and told us a lot about the Hawaiian culture and the Hawaiian history. If you're looking for a surf camp this is the place to be.

10/10- don’t sleep on this unique experience!
10/10 would do this camp again in a heartbeat if I could! North shore Oahu surf is the incredible, and the team will ensure that you have the right level of support to progress. When not surfing, there is plenty of adventure lined up to give you the authentic north shore experience. Food is killer, and the camp is beautiful- I felt so grounded during my stay. Daniel and the staff treat you like family. They ensure you get what you need and look out for your safety. Overall the camp attracts chill and fun people looking to make new friends & have an experience that is active & close to nature. Definitely don’t sleep on this opportunity!

Highly recommend for solo travelers and beginner surfers
Went for a 7-day camp and everything was wonderful—food, experiences, and the people were all amazing. Daniel really catered to what we wanted to do as a group and always had activities lined up for us to participate in and see Hawaii although surfing was a main component. I went in as a complete beginner and feel like I can go out on my own now (beginner breaks only though). We surfed, skateboarded, hiked waterfalls, snorkeled (saw turtles, stingrays and dolphins!), and walked around Waikiki. Surf analysis with videos capturing us surfing was extremely helpful although would have liked to have access to the footage after camp

THE BEST F*CKING TIME
I can't put into words how meaningful and amazing this surf camp was for me. I chose this surf camp over others in the world because of all the experiences you get with it. Not only did I improve my surf game (I was a beginner), but I was also able to learn about Hawaii, go to local beaches and restaurants, explore the island, and spend time with people who quickly became life long friends. The main focus is surfing, but you also get to do other things such as skate boarding, indo board, etc. that help with becoming a better surfer. The experience at the camp site itself is very unique and has everything you need (shelter, kitchen, showers, ping pong table, TV, couches, phone chargers, gopro chargers, etc.). Always felt safe. Daniel has outstanding energy, great knowledge of surfing and of Hawaii, and was amazing to work with. The fact he does drone and video footage to do surf analysis is something I really enjoyed/loved that other companies did not offer. Overall, I had the BEST time at surf camp and loved every single thing about it. I will be back. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Just do it, you won't regret it.

Super cool experience!
I had such a great time at this camp! It is full of surfing and other cool activities (Hiking, Yoga, sight-seeing…). Besides this, the camp is located near a cute village (5 minute walk) and the beach! The camp is run by a wonderful couple that are really passionate and good at what they do! I would definitely go again.

So much extraordinary than I could have dreamed of!! AMAZING
Pata Sudaka camp was THE best experience of my life! I will not get used to the idea of not being there anymore. Thank you so much for everything! I am already missing everyone and the camp SO MUCH, my heart can barely take it. Congratulations on being so perfect!

Best 10days you could possibly ask for
I went in May and I couldn't have asked for a better eperience. Daniel, the camp leader, makes you feel comfortable, safe and taken care of from the get-go. You'll meet people from all over the world that will quickly become friends. You'll get to see a lot of Oahu, taste great food, learn how to surf, skatboard, play the ukulele, do yoga...i was hoping for a great experience but i was blown away. Best decision ever. Thanks to Daniel and the team! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Fantastic surf camp, we come back anytime
We had an amazing time with Pata Sudaka. We spent 10 days and had a great mix of surfing, hiking, culture, yoga, snorkeling or just chilling at the house which was right on the beach of Lā‘ie. Our surf lessons have been very individual no matter which level of surfing. In addition the theory lessons and analyzing videos of our surfing helped us to improve. Food was always delicious and there was something new everyday. The group feeling was wonderful and we found friends for life. Patas forever! Thanks for everything and this great experience, we would come back anytime!Mahalo Maria & Caro

An incredible 10 days - highly recommend
This was an awesome trip with an amazing group of people. A combination of surfing, touring the island and seeing things from a locals perspective. The surf analysing was hugely helpful in progressing and the group most definitely made this trip. A diverse age group from 18-50s with mostly solo travellers, this is an awesome way to get to know people you may not otherwise. Vero & Daniel cared about making it awesome trip for us all and it was an extremely memorable and very fun 10 days with friendships for life! Thanks guys, can we do it all over again!?

Learn to surf, have fun and explore Oahu! 10 Day Camp
I highly recommend this camp if you want to commit time to learning to surf, connect with new people, and explore Oahu. Daniel, Veronika + Fam are good people passionate about teaching/touring/hosting! The main reason for four stars is simply that I didn't realize how much time would be spent in the famous van! Expect 2-4 hours in the van/day. It would have been amazing to be able to surf at the house we stayed at but due to weather (and I'm not even sure if it was a good surfing beach? never saw anyone in the water), we were never able to surf in the area immediately local to where we were staying. All surf locations were 30 mins - 1+ hrs away. Even with good weather, you will see all sides of Oahu so several hours in the van per day should be expected regardless.Besides the disappointment of not surfing where we were staying in Laie, this trip itinerary was full of adjustments due to the amount of rain we had the week I was there (road closure left us stranded, power outage) - but I still had a great time! The amount that went "wrong" made it even more memorable... :) Approach this trip with a go with the flow attitude and openness to learn and meet new people and you will have fun.

You will never want to leave. It’s a vibe 😍🌅🤙🏼🏄♀️
I had an amazing experience in the 10 day camp this March 2021. I would totally go back. What I loved the most, besides meeting awesome people, is that not only you learn how to surf but you get to know the island of Oahu and some local food and cool places. Dani and Vero are super chill and cool. Vero would make us delicious and super healthy dishes everyday and even though the weather was not in our side, Dani would always find a way to make us happy and take us out to surf or do any other activity. I only wish we would have been able to surf in front of the house we were staying and to be able to visit more local restaurants. Other than that I wouldn’t change anything else. I had a lot of fun, met awesome people, food was good and I was able to surf in freaking HAWAII, like for real what else can someone ask for ?Keep in mind that plans might change, weather might affect your day but at the end of the day you need to go with the flow, enjoy the moment and remember best things happen when you don’t plan themThanks Dani and Vero for the experience you guys rock 🤙🏼

Great experience with great people
I did the 10 day camp in North Shore in March 2021. I had an amazing time learning how to surf and hanging out with a great group of people. The weather wasn't on our side, unfortunately. However, Daniel and Veronica were accomodating and tried their best to base the plans on what the group wanted to do. We surfed almost every day! I will say, you definitely need to be in shape/active for this camp. Every day was very active. Also, the food Veronica made was delicious and healthy. Although, I do wish we were able to go out to eat the local cuisine more often. Overall had a great time with my roommates surfing in the sun & rain.

Surfing and more
I took the 6 day surf course with Daniel in February 2021. I was not a total beginner with surfing, so I was glad that Daniel was able to coach me beyond the typical “push you into the wave” teachers. I feel like I learned a lot about surfing over the 6 days. Daniel also takes some good footage with GoPros and drones, which is both a good learning tool and a nice keepsake. Daniel is also a good tour guide and took us to various surfing spots and “adventures” like hiking and snorkeling through the week. You’ll definitely learn some Hawaiian culture and history along the way. Would definitely love to do something like this again. Lastly, my wife did not want to do the full 6 days, but with a little advanced noticed, they were flexible enough that she could join us for surf lessons and adventures on a couple of the days.

Great way to learn how to surf!
I did the 6 day surf course in February 2021. Daniel and his connections with other surf instructors gave me the confidence to catch waves and improve my surfing. I started as a complete beginner having never been on a surf board and ended the 6 days in a lot better shape (both surfing and health wise)! Daniel will give you helpful tips along the way and make sure you’re progressing. The tours are fun and Daniel is very knowledgeable about the whole island of Oahu. Recommend the course for anyone looking to learn how to surf! 🤙🏼🏄🏻♀️

November Surf Course
Absolutely loved my week with Pata. My friend and I had planned to do the November surf camp, but due to COVID, it became the November surf course instead. We still did everything included in the camp, just had to find our own accommodations. I'm so glad we still made it to Hawaii to participate! My surfing improved a lot, the adventures around the island were incredible, and Daniel and Veronika (and baby Arielle!) completely welcomed us into their family. Daniel helped us with our Hawaii trip long after the camp ended (board rentals, surf location recommendations, general check-ins as to how we were doing) and it meant a lot to us. I'm so happy to have met such good people and hope to stay in touch (and maybe do the camp once covid is over!). Thank you Daniel and Veronika :)))

1. Do it.
2. Surf camp with lots of surf time for all levels, with great instruction and support. Your level and surf appreciation will certainly improve here.
3. Between surf outings, fun and varied activities throughout Oahu embedded naturally into the trip. Cool hikes and cool snorkeling (with many dolphins!) were the highlights for me.
4. Knowledgeable, supportive, organized, and most importantly, super friendly and fun hosts Veronica and Daniel. Veronica is a great yoga teacher, which was really needed between all the surfing. Veronica and Daniel know how to bring people together, and respond to both individual and group needs and desires.
5. Great food and perfect location of house directly on the North Shore.
6. Best part: time and friendships with fellow campers (‘patas’) from around the world (mix on my trip, pretty evenly between North America, Europe and Australia). Random bonus on trip: was great to meet Veronica and Daniel’s local friends invited over for a ‘camp anniversary’ party!
7. Bottom line: you can’t beat this trip, with location, variety of activities embedded into the trip, in a most spectacular surf and beach spot of the world! Once you show up, the rest is taken care of. Only challenge is that of the surfing!
8. In case you are still unsure: do it!

Best time in O'ahu!
If you go to Hawaii it's a must to visit this surf camp! You're going to learn how to surf or how to improve your surfing skills, you'll meet so many cool people and see sooo many beautiful places on the island. It was so much fun and I really recommend everyone to do it, if you have the chance. Thank you to everyone for this unforgettable time :)

Incredible Hawaiian Experience
What an experience. Nothing but great things to say about this adventure. Daniel and Veronika made us feel like we were good friends coming to visit. The connection made with the 9 other guests was also incredible. People from all walks of life coming from all over the world to experience Oahu and surf. Accommodations were good, nothing fancy, kind of like a cottage. Food was excellent with 2 meals a day provided and the third somewhere local. Location of the house was incredible - right on the beach North Shore Oahu. Falling asleep to the sound of waves is something I could get used to. Surfing instruction was excellent with constant advice and guidance from Daniel & Veronika as well as video review. All in all I probably spent 30 hours in the water in those 10 days. At the end I felt so much more comfortable in the water and my surfing has improved dramatically. I had such a lovely morning routine at Pata Sudaka, waking up early to a healthy breakfast already made and taking a walk on the beach with my coffee. Sometimes heading out for an early morning surf in front of the house. Honestly the only negative was how hard it has been to re-adjust back to normal life! Hoping to return in a year or two :)
