Kekoa Cazimero Surf Experience (KCSE)

When you're ready to dive deeper into Hawaii's surfing roots, the Kekoa Cazimero Surf Experience (KCSE) at Wai Kai in Ewa Beach delivers something truly special. Pro surfer Kekoa Cazimero doesn't just teach you to ride waves—he shares the cultural heartbeat of Hawaiian surfing during this immersive 3-hour adventure.

You'll spend 45 minutes surfing Wai Kai's impressive 65-foot wave channel, a state-of-the-art pool that works perfectly for everyone from first-timers to seasoned wave riders. What sets this apart? Cazimero's personalized instruction goes way beyond technique and safety. He weaves in the deeper story of Hawaiian culture, teaching you about mālama ʻāina (caring for the land) and how these ancient practices keep our coasts healthy.

The cultural education piece is where things get really meaningful. You'll learn about the spiritual connection between Hawaiians and the ocean, understanding concepts like mana and traditional land and sea stewardship. It transforms your surf session from a simple lesson into something that honors the true spirit of Hawaiian surfing.

This controlled wave pool environment lets you focus on skill development—whether you're nailing your first popup or working on advanced maneuvers—under professional guidance. Cazimero's passion for preserving Hawaiian heritage shines through every moment, giving you insights that typical surf schools simply can't offer.

The Kekoa Cazimero Surf Experience (KCSE) welcomes participants ages 10 and older who weigh at least 90 pounds, with groups capped at 15 people maximum. Starting from $299 per person, your experience includes meeting Kekoa personally, cultural education, coaching, board rental, safety gear, session review with training tips, and a Wai Kai VIP discount card. Sessions kick off at 1:00 PM at 91-1621 Keoneula Blvd—just bring towels and reef-safe sunscreen, with lockers available for your belongings.
