What To Expect

This is a small group lesson with a ratio of 4 students to 1 instructor.
Once arriving at the beach, all surfers will be sized up for gear with a foam top surfboard, reef walker surf shoes to protect your feet, and a SPF surf shirt to protect against sunburn and surf rash.

After getting outfitted with gear a hands-on demonstration will take place covering all the fundamentals of surfing, including proper technique and etiquette, the pop-up method, and a detailed onshore and in the water safety briefing.
All lessons are 2 hours total, including introduction, gear up and on shore technique and safety briefing.
The in water portion of this activity is between 1 hour 15minutes and 1 hour 30minutes depending on conditions.
Children 12 and under usually require more one-on-one attention and will automatically be a private lesson with their own individual instructor for safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Kona Surf Lesson in Kahaluu?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
