Our lessons can be customized to your skill level and to the degree of wave difficulty you desire in regard to size and power. From the North Shore to Waikiki, O’ahu has virtually every type of wave and surfing condition imaginable. All prices include surfboards and all the equipment you need to get up and ride. All you have to bring is your swim suit or board shorts, towel, sunscreen and change of clothes. So come join us for an unforgettable surfing experience!
Once considered the sport of kings, surfing has developed a culture of its own over hundreds of years. Our lessons are designed to not only teach you the basics of surfing, but also to give you a deeper understanding and appreciation for the sport. Most importantly, all students will receive instruction that acknowledges the mental, emotional, and spiritual elements that make surfing such a unique and beautiful sport. You’ll learn how to connect with the ocean environment, understand the lineup and the actions of surfers around you, and surf to express your personality.
We love capturing your progress during the lesson on camera! Our water photographer is also an instructor and provides an added service of helping the other instructors coach. We have photo packages available for purchase before and after the lesson. You will save money on these packages by purchasing your photos either in advance or on the day of your lesson. We take footage of all of our students whether they prepay for the footage or not. We do not share your photos with other parties. Additionally, we often have someone catching some of the action with a camera from the shore
