Surf Lesson Without the Crowds Including GoPRO Videos

Learn to surf away from the crowds of Waikiki in a more local surf break. My goal is to have customers catch the most waves possible and capture all the moments on provided GoPro cameras. This surfing lesson is unique as I limit it to just two students. This maximizes wave count and overall quality of the experience. Videos and pictures are included at no additional cost.

Beginner Surf Lesson at North Shore Haleiwa, Oahu

Our Surf Lessons are designed to be as Safe, Fun and Successful as possible for you. Surfing is our passion and we love to share it with the world. The main thing that differs us in the area is having spent the most time out in the ocean and learning the waves we operate at. Surfing is fun but can get really dangerous really fast and being with an instructor who dedicates there life to this compared to someone who does it part time, for fun could be the difference of getting hurt or just not having a great first experience. We are also all CPR / AED Certified We also strive to be a Highlight of your time in Hawaii. We are very proud to live here and we want to share it with you through Surfing. We know not everyone can go surfing everyday but we encourage everyone to go again every chance you get in the future and if you can surf back home, we hope we are the start of that journey!

Wai Kai Adventure Park: Surf SessionOʻahuFree cancellation

Wai Kai Adventure Park: Surf Session

What sets this apart is the wave itself. The Wai Kai Wave is an engineered standing wave—a continuous, perfectly shaped break that lets you surf in place with no paddling and no ocean conditions to fight. It's the only experience of its kind in Hawaii. That means no waiting for the right swell, no crowded lineup, and no unpredictable surf. The wave runs on demand, so your session is consistent, controlled, and built around you. A member of our experienced wave team stays with you the whole time, so even total beginners get up and riding fast—and everyone is guaranteed to catch a wave. You're also surfing at one of Oahu's most celebrated destinations: a Top 5 USA TODAY Best New Attraction and Hawaii's Best winner, set on a 52-acre waterfront playground on Oahu's west side. Refuel with ocean views at The LookOut, browse Sessions Lifestyle & Apparel, and soak up the island atmosphere—making this far more than just a surf lesson.
