Guided North Shore Surf Tour
This tour takes surfers along the North Shore of Oahu with a local guide who checks breaks to find the right waves for the day. Transportation to and from the surf spot is included within the North Shore. The tour suits people who already know how to surf and want knowledgeable company in the North Shore lineup, whether visiting for the first time or simply wanting guidance from someone with deep local experience. Solo surfers and small groups are both welcome. The guide tailors the session to the group's skill level and the conditions of the day. A rashguard is provided if needed. Surfboards are not included, but the guide can stop at a locally owned surf shop to arrange a rental before heading out. Wetsuits are not provided and are noted as not typically necessary in these waters. Bring a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and water.
Private Surf Lesson
The lesson begins on the beach with a safety briefing covering ocean conditions and the basics of the surf spot. From there, participants learn how to pop up on the board, find their balance, and stand in the correct stance for riding waves. Once the beach portion wraps up, the instructor leads participants into the water to practice paddling, catching waves, and standing up. The instructor works on timing and positioning throughout the in-water session to help build comfort and confidence. The meeting location is either Puaena Point Beach Park or Chuns Reef Beach on the north shore of Oahu, and the specific spot is confirmed before the lesson based on surf conditions. A surfboard and rash guard are provided. Participants should bring a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and water. Reef shoes are optional. A life jacket is available on request; just notify the operator in advance.
Private Group Surf Lesson
The meeting location is confirmed before the lesson based on surf conditions, so flexibility helps. The lesson begins on the beach with a safety briefing that covers the surf spot conditions and the basics of popping up on the board, balancing, and finding a stable stance. From there, the group moves into the water, where instructors rotate through participants offering real-time feedback as each person practices paddling, standing, and riding waves. CPR-certified instructors maintain a low student-to-instructor ratio so each surfer receives individual coaching. Surfboards and rash guards are provided. Participants should bring a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and water. A life jacket is available on request. This lesson suits friends or family learning together, including complete beginners working toward catching their first waves.
Semi-Private Surf Lesson
The lesson begins on the beach with a safety briefing that covers surf conditions and how to stay safe, followed by instruction on popping up to standing, finding balance, and getting into the correct stance. After the beach portion, both participants head into the water to take turns catching small waves, with a CPR-certified instructor providing ongoing guidance and feedback throughout. The meeting point is on the north shore of Oahu, at either Puaena Point Beach Park or Chuns Reef Beach, chosen based on surf conditions. The specific location is confirmed before the lesson. Surfboards and rash guards are provided. Bring a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and water. Reef shoes are optional but can be helpful for beginners. A life jacket is available on request if arranged in advance.

Surf Coaching
Surf Coaching from Ike Kai School of Surfing LLC is a session built for intermediate to advanced surfers who want to sharpen specific skills. The coach works with the surfer one-on-one in the water, observing technique and offering live corrections as waves come through. Focus areas can include positioning, wave performance, ocean awareness, or competition preparation, depending on what the surfer wants to work on. Optional surf skate drills on land are also available, and the session closes with post-session advice to support continued progress. The meeting location is confirmed before the session based on current surf conditions and the surfer's skill level, so participants should expect direct contact ahead of time. A rashguard is provided as an optional item to wear during the session. Transportation to the meeting spot is not included. Participants should bring a towel, water, sunscreen, and board wax if bringing their own equipment. Prior surf experience is required, and surfers must be comfortable paddling out independently in moderate conditions.
