Top Oahu Surfing Lessons

Nothing is more iconic to Hawaii than surfing at Waikiki Beach. This is arguably the place where surfing was born, and the spot where watermen like Duke Kahanamoku helped introduce surfing to the world. The reason why this south facing coast is so perfect for learning to surf, is the fact that the bottom is soft, sandy, and the water is relatively shallow. During this surf lesson in Waikiki, you'll also notice the way the waves have a steady and gentle roll, which makes them far less intimidating than other waves on Oahu. Add in a long, stable board and a professional local instructor, and before you know it you'll be surfing a wave like ancient Hawaiians of old.

This will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life. All ages (13 and over) and body types welcome. We guarantee you will surf or you get a 100% refund. Teaching people to surf is our favorite thing to do in the world. NOTE: Children 12 years and younger require a private lesson, they cannot book this lesson.
