What To Expect

*Must know how to swim! *NO TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED*

Start with an introduction to the ancient Hawaiian sport - Surf the right way: by learning the rules and proper techniques from people that are experienced and love what they do. We know you will love it too!

Your 2 hour lesson begins with an introduction on land before heading out to the water. We go over falling safely and ocean etiquette.
We practice going quickly from laying to standing the easiest way possible. You’ll learn how to catch waves, what type of board to use as a beginner, where the best surf spots are for beginners, and more.

Our experienced instructors are here to break it down for you and to make sure your surfing experience is fun, easy, and rewarding. The idea is to give you enough information to feel comfortable in a variety of situations, with or without an instructor.

The North Shore of Oahu is the surfing capital of the world!
This is an exciting place to learn to surf, but we need to remember safety first! especially for our children. For this reason children under 13 yrs old are required to have a private lesson.

You will need to drive from Surf N Sea to the surf spot location.
