Surf HNL: Ala Moana Surf Lessons with Round-trip Transport

The Oahu surf lesson begins when you’re picked up from your Waikiki hotel, and are driven over to Ala Moana Beach just minutes from Waikiki. This is where you’ll meet your surfing instructor, who will get you fitted with the proper size board and gear you might need for your lesson. Since this tour is limited to only four people, you’re ensured a small-group, personalized experience. You can also upgrade to a private lesson, if you wish.

The surfing portion begins on the sand, where you’ll learn the proper spot to lay on the board and how to efficiently paddle, as well as the basic etiquette of surfing and how to duck under the waves. You’ll practice beginner techniques on land, and also learn how the history of surfing has roots right here on Oahu. Having run through the basics up on the sand, grab your board, strap on your leash, and begin paddling out towards waves that gently roll towards the shore. Your instructor will be there right by your side helping push you into the waves, and will offer tips for how to stand up, how to fall down and how to steer on the wave.

When your Oahu surfing lesson is finished, you’re transported back to your Waikiki hotel to rest your weary arms, and reflect on what you could do better next time — since you’ll definitely want to go again.
