Overview

When you book with us, you're not just signing up for a surf lesson — you're supporting a Hawaiian-owned surf school that’s deeply rooted in the local culture and guided by native Hawaiian instructors who live and breathe the spirit of aloha. What sets our lessons apart is the authentic connection we bring to surfing’s rich heritage here in Waikiki, the birthplace of modern surfing. Our team doesn’t just teach you how to catch a wave — we share the deeper meaning of surfing in Hawaiian culture, including traditional surf etiquette, respect for the ocean, and the historical significance of Waikiki’s legendary surf breaks. You’ll walk away with more than just surf skills — you'll gain a true appreciation for the roots of the sport and the community that continues to protect it. Join us for an experience that’s not only fun, but meaningful — guided by locals, grounded in culture, and full of Aloha.

    What To Expect

    Aloha and welcome to Waikiki! We're so excited to have you join us for a beginner surf lesson—get ready for a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience on the waves of one of the most iconic beaches in the world. We'll start the lesson right on the beach with a land-based introduction where you’ll learn the basics of surfing. This includes ocean safety, how to position yourself on the board, paddling techniques, how to pop up and stand, and a little surf etiquette to help you understand how to safely share the waves with others. Once you're feeling confident, we’ll head into the water together. Waikiki’s warm, gentle waves are perfect for beginners, and your instructor will be right by your side helping you catch waves and stand up—most students ride their first wave during this very first session! The water portion lasts from one to two hours, and it’s all about having fun while learning at your own pace.After the surf session, we’ll head back to shore to talk about how it went Whether it’s your first time on a surfboard or you’re just brushing up on the basics, we’re here to make sure your lesson is exciting, supportive, and full of aloha spirit. We can't wait to see you out there!
