Our surf lessons are approximately 90 minutes. That includes 15-30 minutes on land and 1 hour in the water. 99% of beginners are exhausted after 1 hour in the water — so don’t fall for other schools offering 2-hour upcharges.
All students must be able to swim. This means the student is comfortable jumping into the deep end of a pool and swimming to the side of the pool.
After you buy you’ll receive an order confirmation email complete with directions to our beach stand.
This is a common question. Students do not need to be expert swimmers — but every student must be able to swim. You are a good enough swimmer if you feel confident in water over your head and can tread water for at least 1 minute.
Students will mostly be surfing in Waikiki, in front of the Sheraton Hotel.
On days when there is no surf or bad conditions we will cancel lessons and notify customers. If we can predict poor conditions in the future, we will notify you sooner to reschedule.
All surf lessons are private lessons. You or your group will be the only people on your lesson.
We’re located on Waikiki Beach in front of the Waikiki Shore Condominiums and the Outrigger Reef on the Beach.
