Our semi-private surf lesson offering strikes the perfect balance between personalized coaching and shared stoke. This two-hour session welcomes all ages and lets you learn alongside a friend or family member while getting plenty of one-on-one attention from your experienced, CPR-certified instructor – with groups capped at a maximum of 2 people.
We kick things off with a solid 20-minute beach session covering safety protocols, surf conditions, and fundamental techniques. You'll dial in the basics of popping up, finding your balance, and nailing proper stance before paddling out. This groundwork builds confidence and ocean awareness, so both of you feel ready to charge those first waves.
Once you're in the water, the real magic happens. You and your partner will take turns catching waves while your instructor provides continuous feedback on paddling technique, wave selection, and standing up. The personalized approach means you both progress at your own pace while sharing the thrill of riding waves together. Depending on daily conditions, we'll meet at either Puaena Point Beach Park or Chuns Reef Beach on Oahu's north shore – the meeting point will be determined and confirmed beforehand.
Your semi-private surf lesson experience includes surfboard, rash guard, and all necessary gear. Just bring a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and water. We recommend reef shoes for beginners, and life jackets are available with advance notice.
We offer full refunds with 24-hour cancellation notice and flexible rescheduling for weather changes, so you can book with confidence. Contact us by phone to inquire about cancellations. No-shows will be charged the full price. From $125, this shared learning adventure combines professional instruction with the pure joy of discovering surfing alongside someone special.
