• 2699 Kalākaua Ave - Jump on the Surf School Bus and we will get you from wherever you’re staying in Waikiki to the beach and up and riding! We offer a complimentary courtesy shuttle. Our knowledgeable staff will meet you at one of our convenient hotel pick-up locations. You’ll be stoked to ride in our air-conditioned, clean, easy-to-spot yellow Surf School Bus or white shuttle with our logo on the side. After our friendly staff introduce themselves, we will shuttle you to our Ohana Surf Center located in the Waikiki Beach Marriott. From there you will get checked-in, geared up and then will be shuttled to the beach for Bodyboarding!

Once by the ocean, you will meet your instructor and talk about your previous experience, swimming strength or any other concerns or conditions, then we’ll have you walk your high quality lesson boards to the beach. When you’re comfortable and ready, we leash ourselves to the board, put on our fins and into the water we go!

After the lesson, you’ll be taken back to the Ohana Surf Center where you can check out photographs, videos, or buy some merch for yourself or friends. Then after your purchases are made, we drive you back to one of our convenient drop off locations.

At Ohana Surf Project, we view our patrons as part of our family, and we are devoted to offering top-notch service to everyone that chooses to engage in our water activities and to their loved ones that support them. Our enthusiasm is in surfing and we provide specialist training in three types: surf, stand-up paddle and bodyboard. Each member of our staff has accumulated years of experience and are among the most excellent guides in the field. We find joy in what we do, and we revel in working together as a unit and as a family to ensure our learners feel secure, relaxed and triumph.

Safety is our utmost priority! All our coaches and guides are professionals, with training in safety (CPR, lifeguard, first aid), and are friendly.

We eagerly anticipate your joining our family and introduce you to the aloha spirit that keeps us all here in Hawaii - relishing life and pleasant company, honouring the ‘aina (our mother earth), and having fun while keeping active.
