Looking to get your whole family stoked on wave riding? This ohana bodyboard lesson in Honolulu from Jamie O'Brien School of Surf is hands-down the best way to experience your first taste of surfing together. With just four guests per instructor, everyone from your 2-year-old keiki to grandparents gets the personal attention they deserve while learning to catch waves in Waikiki's gentle waters.
You'll find us right in the heart of the action at 2570 Kalakaua Avenue, tucked inside the Twin Fin Hotel's ground floor. The hour-long session covers everything from water safety basics to proper bodyboarding technique, and trust me – there's nothing like watching your family light up when they catch their first wave together.
We run seven sessions daily starting at 7:30am and wrapping up at 3:00pm, so you can easily fit this ohana bodyboard lesson Honolulu experience into your vacation schedule. Just show up 15 minutes early for check-in, and we'll hook you up with premium bodyboards, fins, rash guards, and leashes – everything you need is covered.
A few local tips: grab valet parking at the Twin Fin Hotel or save some cash with self-parking at the Honolulu Zoo (just a quick five-minute stroll away). We've got secure lockers for your stuff, and since ocean conditions can shift, we might occasionally move locations or adjust times to give you the best possible session.
One heads-up – skip the mai tais before your lesson and consider motion sickness meds if you're prone to getting queasy. The good news? We offer free cancellation with 24 hours notice, so you're covered if plans change. This ohana bodyboard lesson Honolulu adventure starts and ends at the same Kalakaua Avenue spot, making your day totally hassle-free.
