Private Surf Lessons in North Shore Oahu

Let’s Go!!
We had the best experience! We booked a semi private lesson for 3 first time young adult surfers (17-25). Same day booking was easy and accommodating. Kala was great with communication and where to meet up. Our instructor Aton made our experience fantastic! He helped us catch the waves and we were up on the first wave! Not only helpful with surfing, but with all local questions and recommendations of the island. Our favorite of all the experiences we did! Highly recommend!

Kids learn to surf safely while having Fun Fun Fun
10/10 Stars - Uncle Savage is an absolute legend! If you want your kids to learn to surf safely while having the time of their lives, Uncle Savage is the instructor to book. He recently taught my teenage boys, who were total beginners, and the experience was a perfect 10 out of 10. His coaching in the surf was masterful. Uncle Savage coached and gave the boys instant positive feedback on their techniques. He knew exactly how to read the swells and positioned them perfectly for success. Thanks to his patience and guidance, both of my boys were standing up and riding waves way sooner than we ever expected. The pure joy and confidence he instilled in them was incredible to watch. By the end of the lesson, my boys weren’t just stoked on surfing—they were already asking when they could go back out to surf. He is a phenomenal teacher and an all-around amazing human. We definitely recommend booking with Uncle Savage!

Grateful Grandma and first time surfer
I am older woman and first time surfer. Booked for one hour private lesson with Kahu surfing School. The instructor, Mr. Jameson did a great job teaching me the basics and getting me safely riding a bunch of waves and I was able to stand up. I really appreciated how friendly and accommodating he was. Thanks Jameson and Kahu Surfing school for creating memory for me to share it with my grandkids. Eagerly waiting for the videos and pictures

Amazing time (wear extra sunscreen on backs of legs)
This was my first time surfing ever, how can you go to Hawaii and not try to learn to surf?! I had an absolutely amazing time! We practiced few times on land before heading into the water, and i actually ended up catching 6+ waves! i felt safe the whole time and like my instructor cared to give me the best experience. WEAR EXTRA SUNSCREEN ON THE BACKS OF YOUR LEGS. Like soooo much sunscreen that your legs are white, if you sunburn easily. I had a great time but got a pretty bad burn

Great surf lesson from a great instructor
My 11 year old son and I met Savage on our morning walk from our hotel for breakfast. From the first meeting we knew he would be the best person to teach us to surf. We booked a 90 min lesson and it was better than we could imagine. Savage guaranteed us we would get up on the board and he didn’t disappoint. My son was up on his first attempt and I may have taken a time or two longer but I got there and felt the surfing rush. It was awesome. Cheeeeee Hoooo! mahalo.

Hitting the waves for the first time

Hitting the waves for the first time
As we were staying at the Kaimana Beach Resort, Kai's school couldn't be more convenient, as it's just by the front lobby. Our daughter had never surfed before, and Turner had her up and flying within minutes of hitting the water. Kaimana Beach is a wonderfully safe and uncrowded stretch south of the main Waikiki tourist crush, with good beginner and intermediate waves. The camera attached to the front of the boards made for some great photos and videos to remember it all. Our daughter really appreciated Turner's patience and skill in teaching. Highly recommended!

Ali is great.

Surf Lesson In Waikiki- Female Instructor
harthanj, Jan 2026
Ali is great.
Ali is great. I was super nervous about looking stupid doing my first surf lesson as a 37yo guy from the Midwest that had never thought about surfing until I booked my trip to Hawaii. Ali reached out before my lesson and made me feel like even if I couldn't catch a few waves during my lesson that it wasn't a big deal... which made it so much easier to actually do well. Once I got to my lesson she was direct and to the point on what I should do, even to the point that she told me "no, do it again like I told you" on the shore and after about 10 minutes on land she said "okay lets get in the water". I would have never believed i would catch my first two waves(forget the third and forth that I messed up because I wasn't doing what Ali said I should) even when I had poor technique Ali was kind,direct, and positive. Out of 12 waves I attempt in my lesson I am pretty sure I caught 8 of them. Ali is amazing. Btw apparently she also does hiking/rock climbing tours and after my experience with my surf lesson, I would go anywhere with Ali... because I know she has my back!!!

Best part of our trip!
Such a fun surf lesson! Conor was super chill, knowledgeable and easy to learn from. He explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable before getting in the water. We caught quite a few waves which was awesome! It was just a good time overall and we had so much fun we took a second lesson with him! 10/10 experience and I definitely recommend it if you’re thinking about trying surfing! 🌊🏄🏻‍♀️

Great experience for our son!
We had our 8-year-old do a semi-private surf lesson, and he loved it! It was his very first time on a surf board and hadn’t ever done anything like it. He had a blast and probably gained confidence in trying new new things.
