Private "Kapu" Surf Lesson

Here on the North Shore, nothing beats the personalized attention you'll get with our private "Kapu" surf lesson from $225. Your dedicated instructor focuses entirely on your progress during this 1.5 to 2-hour experience from North Shore Ohana. Whether you're a complete beginner or an intermediate surfer wanting to refine your technique, the 1:1 ratio means every moment is tailored to your needs.

We start each private "Kapu" surf lesson with a thorough land session covering safety protocols, wave reading, and proper surf etiquette—crucial knowledge for sharing these waters respectfully. Our Red Cross CPR certified instructors bring lifetime North Shore ocean experience to every lesson. As we always tell our students, "A hour of knowledge shared with a surfing instructor is a year of trying it on your own."

What makes these spots truly special is the incredible marine life you'll encounter. During winter months, expect to see humpback whales with their calves, while summer brings spinner dolphins hunting in schools. Green sea turtles visit daily by the dozens, and you might spot indigenous reef fish or even manta rays gliding beneath you between waves. These same locations double as fantastic snorkeling spots when conditions allow.

We provide all the gear—rash guards, leashes, and soft-top or epoxy boards, with short performance boards available by request. Everyone's welcome, regardless of age or experience level.
