Aloha! Sammy’s Aloha Watersports is mobile watersports instruction school based in Oahu, Hawai’i. We are a locally owned and operated family business that was built on a foundation of experience and passion. Owner and founder Samuel Perez Hults is a competitive watersports athlete with 20 years of experience in teaching others to share his love for the ocean. Originally from the Dominican Republic, Sammy began his career as a champion freestyle and wave windsurfer, winning numerous competitions in his home country and earning him the chance to compete internationally. Back home, Sammy helped work with youth in his neighborhood to develop an interest in watersports, and teach them a healthy and positive way of life.
Sammy later expanded his repertoire to master the sports of kitesurfing, surfing, and SUP, and in 2009, relocated to Oahu to pursue those interests and make Hawaii his home. Sammy and his team are committed to spreading his love of watersports to people of all ages and levels – and they’ll make you a believer! They work with each client personally to ensure they get top-notch instruction and have a fun learning experience.
