Surf HNL: Small-Group or Private Surfing Lesson (Ko'olina)
Overview
While visiting, cross ‘learning how to surf’ off your to-do list! Learn surf techniques, safety rules and surf-break etiquette under the guidance of certified lifeguards and surf instructors. Choose either a small-group or private lesson, or if surfing isn’t up your alley, try stand-up paddleboarding instead! A bit easier than surfing, it’s still a great way to enjoy the beach while you’re on Oahu.

What To Expect
Enjoy a basic surfing or stand-up paddling lesson tailored for beginners. Your instructor will provide all the necessary equipment, allowing you to focus on having fun and catching waves.
There are three options available for your lesson:
• Private surfing or paddleboard lesson: One-on-one lesson between you and your instructor (1 hour)
• Small-group surfing or paddleboard lesson: Learn in a small group no larger than 4 students (1 hours)
• Small-group stand-up paddleboarding lesson only: Learn in a small group no larger than 5 students (1 hour)
*Additional hours can be added*
It is highly recommended that children (minimum age is 5) and individuals with special needs choose the private surfing lesson. All participants must be able to swim. Surf lessons are very popular and commonly sell out on Oahu, so book now to avoid disappointment!
