My partner and I booked in for lessons on our last day in Hawai'i - I wish we'd booked earlier in our stay so we had time to go again! Fingers crossed we come back again. 🤙
Carolyn Beaudoin
My daughter & I had two lessons with Stoke Drift, and had such a great instructor! While I already had some experience surfing, they shared tips with me that were so helpful!

Why Our Program Is

The Safest Way To Surf

Keeping you safe is our #1 priority. All lessons include a safety and technique land session.

Small Class Sizes

You'll get individual attention and focus. Class sizes range from 1-4 students per instructor so our instructors are never overwhelmed.

Uncrowded Waves

Nervous? We know it can be scary! You'll get to practice surfing on gentle, uncrowded waves. You'll feel safe and not intimidated by other surfers.

Soft Surfboards

All students learn on sturdy foam surfboards that significantly reduce injuries and boost confidence. We also use soft rubber fins to make falling extra safe.
