Our surf school has been teaching surf lessons to locals and tourists alike for over 20 years, and we’re proud to offer the only surf lessons in Kona taught by native Hawaiʻians. There are no better teachers anywhere on the Hawaiʻian islands than right here, which is just what you need when picking up a completely new skill.

Our surf school is the perfect place to learn the basics of surfing or to sharpen your skills before paddling out into the waves. You’ll spend some time practicing your techniques on land before spending the final hour in the water. Even if you have never picked up a surf board in your life, you will leave with a solid understanding of the sport and newly gained abilities in it.
We keep our surf lessons small so that you get personalized attention and don’t have to practice in a big crowd. Private one-on-one lessons are also available. These smaller options allow for a more focused learning experience. Not everyone learns well in group settings after all! This option is great for anyone wanting some one-on-one time with their teacher, but it is especially good for children and their parents, so bring your family too!
