It’s okay if you’ve never tried surfing or are recently new to the sport; that’s why we offer a fun and exciting beginner lesson with guidance from your instructor the whole time. We offer private, semi-private, and small group lessons which are up to 2 hours long. Our priority is your safety while also ensuring everyone enjoys catching some waves. If you’re unsure of which lesson is right for you give us a call! Oahu has many amazing spots to learn how to surf. The world-famous North Shore is probably one of the best spots in Hawaii to learn how to catch your first wave. We offer a unique surfing experience suitable for first-time wave sliders. Our professional surf instructors will explain the fundamentals of surfing, reading the surf zone, surfing etiquette, timing, and catching the wave, as well as the transition from paddling to standing. We will fine-tune your lesson to meet your specific needs. To make it even easier for first-timers, a push from your instructor will help you catch your first Hawaiian wave! Lessons Include: Top-quality ST longboard (other board types available on request) Rashguard Pre-surf instruction on the beach Guidance and assistance in the water

First want to say I greatly appreciate they were able to fit me and my dad in on short notice. We forgot to complete the booking process. The instructor James was fantastic and great person to be around. If you ever want to learn to surf I would highly recommend them.
James was an awesome teacher! We had three kids 6,9, and 11 with us and he was very patient with each of them. All were surfing for the first time and they left feeling great about the experience.
James, Evan and Kane did a great job with our children and grandchildren. They all had a good time, and the instructors were patient and kind…
We had a great surf lesson with Sea and Board Sports Wawaii. There were 4 of us (dad and 3 daughters) and we all loved it. James and Evan were great to work with. They were patient, friendly and worked very hard to teach us how to surf (we were all complete beginners) and they got us into some great waves. We will definitely use them again next time we visit. Thanks
James gave the best surf lesson to my husband & son. They both stood up immediately & appreciated all his help & instruction. Highly recommend- would book again 100%.
Very much recommended! The instructor (James) was very dedicated and showed us important tips for having a great surfing experience. We would definitely go again!
One of best Surf lessons I have, excellent! ❤️ Thanks for let me more love Hawaii. The Surf coach is nice and considerate, definitely would book the class next time!
Our instructor, Doug was the best!! He is extremely knowledgeable and teaches well, he found us some nice waves to ride, and made our first surfing experience very memorable.
Fantastic lesson! Very professional, but easy going at the same time. Even though I am over 50 (and not in great shape) while my son is 17 (and is very athletic) the instructor made it super enjoyable for both of us. Definitely recommend for any family, regardless of varying abilities. They will absolutely make it work and make it fun for all!
Best guys ever!! So easy going and comfortable to be around. I was scared to surf at first but they made me feel so at ease and I had a blast!
From booking our lessons with Drake, assistance with logistics from Steve and surf lessons from the ever-patient James, these guys are absolutely the best! So worth the Jeep tour with Steve oroviding local knowledge and stopping in cool spots for views/food/local fruit. What a fantastic way to spend our day. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!
We had a blast surfing with James. His lesson was easy to follow and he was patient and encouraging. Both of us were able to ride waves during the lesson as beginners. We recommend surfing with him.
5 teenagers who have barely been in the ocean. They LOVED it. When they came back to shore they were giggling and telling stories about the waves the caught. Thanks again. We will be back.
Doug and James were both wonderful. I went out for a lesson with my 6 year old daughter hoping she would enjoy it enough to continue learning at home. What better place for her first time out then the North Shore of Oahu? She went on their boards with them and stood up several times. She can swim but doesn’t have a ton of experience in the ocean or doing something so strenuous. Every time she fell off they scooped her up and went back out. She had a ton of fun and wanted to a stay out for the two hours. She’s been asking to go back ever since. James even rescued my go pro from the bottom of the ocean! Thanks again guys!
SURFS UP DUDE! James was such an awesome instructor! He quickly taught us the basics and we quickly went into the water. But don't worry it's better to learn in the water than on land! James was super supportive and helpful! He brought great energy to our lesson and we really felt like he did a good job introducing us to the etiquette of surfing! Make sure to book two hours. It's definitely worth spending more time out there! You will definitely be catching waves. You will be tired but the memories will be priceless. I will definitely be back for more!
me and my friends had a enjoyable experience and learned a lot in our lesson! it was our first time surfing but we felt very safe knowing our instructor micah was cpr certified and had lots of surfing experience
Instructors give you the full surf experience. They make sure to teach you the basics and lead you along the way. They keep things fast, so you get to ride a ton of waves during the span of two hours. Bring sunscreen!!!
Holten and Kayde were awesome instructors, my friends and I had so much fun learning to surf. Even when we were scared or felt like we might drown they were there for us and had a blast. 10/10 recommend!
First timers! My family of four had so much fun! JC and Pono were interesting, easy to talk to, and very patient. Both of my kids loved it and we know teens are hard to please. I am not athletic at all, i don’t really exercise ever, and have had two types of cancers. I wasn’t sure if I could manage, but with their help it went very well. We’re going back next year and plan on booking again. Mahalo!
Nothing but great things to say about these guys. We had a large group and they handled everything with class. Every experience level was able to have fun surfing. Highly recommend!
These guys are EXACTLY who you want! Real surfers who can teach you a MUCH better way to stand up! These guys are 100% on point when it comes to learning to surf! We had a family reunion and they really took care of our little guys..as well as the old ones..haha super friendly. I HIGHLY recommend them. They are the real deal! ☆☆☆☆☆
My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her first surf lesson. However, the instructor was supposed to provide her with a rash guard shirt to wear. He didn't bring one, and she ended up with a severe sunburn (even after using sunblock) that was so painful it prevented her for participating in any activities the following day. I recommend bringing your own shirt to be safe. Otherwise, it was a good experience.
My daughter and I took surfing lessons with Jacy. He was amazing and very accommodating to my last minute scheduling request. The location made the logistics easy for us first time surfers. His instructions and ability to help us time the waves properly made surfers out of both of us. It was an unforgettable day on the North Shore!
Excellent time surfing with Holten and Micah! All of us were able to ride the waves even my husband and I who are almost 50! Was impressed!
Holten hosted a private surf lesson for my boyfriend and I this morning. We had a fantastic time. We were worried it would be lackluster because we had been sold some other tours and what not that left a lot to be desired. But we were very pleasantly surprised. Holten was knowledgeable and a good teacher and listener. He genuinely seemed to be having a good time himself and was very patient with us. I even considered maybe doing one more lesson before we left, but my other half was a bit apprehensive because he's not a strong swimmer. Anyhow, we were very happy and couldn't recommend them more. Do it!
We had booked private lessons as a couple from 8-9:30 a.m. With the warm morning sun, it was wonderful in the small bay at Haleiwa Beach Park. Not much going on and waves for beginners. Our teacher James was very friendly and gave us good instructions in the water, so that I was able to stand on the board all the way to the beach by the second wave. Feels great. Definitely suitable for beginners. Mahalo
