Overview

All Gone Surfing Hawaii lessons begin on the sand in Waikīkī, where our instructors cover ocean awareness, wave conditions, and essential surf safety. From there, we get you into the water quickly so you can experience the thrill of wind, waves, and riding your first waves.

Ideal for beginner surfers, first-timers, and families, our lessons are designed to be safe, supportive, and fun. Our licensed instructors are trained in first aid and lifeguard-level CPR, giving you peace of mind throughout your experience.

In the water, you’ll learn how to read waves, position yourself for a smooth takeoff, and understand proper surf etiquette.

Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
