All experiences start and end at our Surf Shop, which is located on the ground floor of the Twin Fin Hotel on Kalakaua Avenue. You have two options for parking - valet at the Twin Fin Hotel (recommended) or self park at the Honolulu Zoo (if you choose this option please ensure you pay for parking at the automated machines for at least 2.5 hours, the walk from the zoo to our shop is about 5 min west down Kalakaua Ave). Check in is 15 min prior to your lesson start time. We provide secure lockers to safely store your belongings. Many guests ask us if their experience or lesson will be taught and/or guided by Jamie O'Brien, and while Jamie does own and operate our surf school, he does not teach or guide himself. However, every instructor and guide has been hand selected by Jamie to provide you the safest and best experience possible, and they are eagerly waiting to get you in the water. For Guests who are prone to motion or seasickness, please be advised that surfing, stand up paddling, and other activities offered by us have been known to trigger symptoms. Many guests are able to limit these by taking the motion sickness medication of their choice ~30 minutes before their experience. Please keep in mind that ocean activities require concentration/focus and are ALWAYS enjoyed best sober.
