Additional Information

Embark on a 2-hour group surfing lesson in Oahu, where you’ll learn to ride the waves like the Island’s renowned celebrities. With the guidance of a certified, professional tutor, join a small group with a low trainer to student ratio of 1 to every 3-4 learners. The Waikiki Surf Lesson begins with a 10-minute safety presentation at our surf store before transitioning to the beach for a 10-minute practice session on the sand. Leveraging our 20 years of experience, we found that the key to surfing lies in muscle memory, and beginners who perfectly get their surfing posture right often manage to surf on their initial wave.

Fantastic surf lesson as a first-timer! - Booked the group lesson with zero surf experience and had a great time! The instructors were knowledgeable, fun, and gave everyone in the group the attention they needed to catch several waves. Had a blast!

Great experience - Such a bucket list moment to be able to surf in Hawaii! Our instructor Merrick was amazing. He catered to our individual needs and we were able to stand up and surf on our first go! 10/10 recommend when you're visiting Waikiki :)

Surfs Up! - The instructors were very patient and helped everyone to be successful catching waves. The surf shop was ideally located next to public parking at the zoo.

Great experience in the perfect beach setting - Worked with very good instructors. The surfing conditions were perfect and Waikiki Beach. The waves were not too big. Just right for the beginning.

2 hours more than enough to learn to surf on beginner boards - Surfing lessons from a professional surfer on Waikiki. It took 30 minutes to ride! Just make sure you are wearing booties

So much fun. - This was so much fun. Ted and Kiva are the best instructors. Super patient with us first time surfers and made sure we caught the best waves. From the easy check in process to gearing up and watching the instruction/safety before heading out was smooth. Remember to come at least 30 minutes before your time to get your gear and relax. Would do again.

Pushed into Local - Our coach was a bit green which is ok but he pushed my friend into a local surfer. It was her first time, while she enjoyed surfing, she didn’t enjoy that part of the experience. The local surfer got very upset and blocked our path so I wasn’t able to catch any waves. Our instructor insisted on continuing to push us into her. I was disappointed that I spent so much money and didn’t get to ride. I wish that he could’ve apologized and asked her to move rather than just continuing to escalate the situation. 😔
