Surf Ala Moana
Surf Ala Moana takes place at Ala Moana Beach Park, a short ride from Waikiki hotels. Round-trip transportation from Waikiki hotels is included, so getting there and back is straightforward. Each lesson starts with a land demonstration before moving into the ocean, giving beginners a chance to get comfortable with the basics on shore first. The private one-on-one lesson is designed specifically for young children, locally called keikis, and focuses on keeping young surfers safe and supported throughout. Depending on the child's size and ability, the instructor will either surf tandem with the child or stay alongside in the water. The instructor remains with the child at every stage of the lesson. Lesson length options are available to suit different needs and schedules.
SUP Ala Moana
The lesson begins on land with a demonstration, then moves into the ocean, with the instructor staying close throughout. Round-trip transportation from Waikiki hotels is included, so there is no need to arrange a separate way to get to the park. A private one-on-one option focuses on younger children, with an instructor providing individual attention from start to finish. A family package, called the ohana package, lets a group learn together and includes a private instructor, photos taken during the session, transportation, and complimentary T-shirts or a hat. All participants receive a rashguard, reef shoes, and a paddleboard at no extra charge. Bring a swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen. The session suits families and first-timers looking for a structured introduction to paddleboarding close to Waikiki. Because the lesson involves physical activity on the water, comfortable swimwear and sun protection are practical choices before arriving.
Surf Kapolei
Surf Kapolei brings surf lessons to Kalaeloa Beach Park, a low-key spot on the west side of Oahu near the Aulani resort. Students can choose from private, exclusive, or group lesson formats depending on their comfort level and preference. Private lessons give a student the undivided attention of a single instructor throughout, making them a good fit for young children as well as adults. Group lessons are suited to confident swimmers and athletes who do not need extra individual attention or a life jacket. All lessons include a surfboard rental, reef shoes, and a rashguard at no extra charge. Participants should bring a swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen. Round-trip transportation is not included in the standard lesson price. Surfing carries real physical risks, and the operator requires every participant to read and acknowledge the liability statement before booking.
