What you'll do
Upon your arrival to Oahu, you'll begin to see how surfing is Hawaiian culture. As you get into Waikiki, everywhere you look you will see surfboards...... It is now time to embrace your surroundings and let us show you the Hawaiian way.
We will begin by introducing the details of the surfboard.
Then discuss the fundamentals including positioning on board, etiquette, paddling, how & when to stand up, & what to do once you are on the wave.
We will discuss ocean safety, awareness and safety.
Once the land training is done, we will walk right across the street and enter the water, don't worry about carrying any surfboards, we have a cart for that.
Once we are in the water we will guide you to the best spot to position yourself to catch waves. We will be by your side and provide the extra push to get on the wave.
It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or intermediate surfer, we can help all levels advance your skills on a surfboard and teach you about the area you are surfing in.
After the lesson we will go back to the shop, have the barista whip us up a drink from our coffee bar, relax, chat and check out your surf photos / footage.

This was an amazing surfing lesson! I've only taken two lessons before, and I felt I needed a refresher. There was only one other person taking the lesson with me, so it was more or less a private lesson. I met our instructor, Chris, at the surf shop. He assessed where I was at, and then we were quickly out into the water. Chris made sure I had a good time, but also gave serious tips on how I could improve as a surfer. Highly recommended!

Such a dope experience! Chris and Josh were amazing instructors and took care to make sure we felt comfortable/confident before and during the experience. Two funny guys excited to show us a good time out on the waves. They made sure we learned the techniques so we would be able to surf on our own in the future. Highly recommend!
