Kapowui has been recognized as the best surf school in Venice Beach for the past five consecutive years.
As a family-operated business, Kapowui stands as a symbol of Southern California.
We live, breathe, and dream surfing, teaching it to share our passion and excitement for the sport. It’s a lifestyle choice that brings meaning to our lives.
All of Kapowui’s instructors embody the Aloha spirit, reside just blocks from the beach (with four living in surf vans), surf daily, and possess extensive teaching experience.
During your lesson, our focus is entirely on you, ensuring a fully engaged and present experience.
At Kapowui, your experience truly matters to us.
Whether surfing is a one-time bucket list adventure or a new hobby you wish to pursue, we guarantee you’ll be riding waves! Plus, you’ll be immersed in surf culture, allowing you to experience the authentic surfer vibe while acquiring a lifelong skill.
