Group Surf Lesson At Kalapaki Beach

Within walking distance if Nawiliwili cruise port, with food and souvenir shops nearby. You can rent gear here too, including beach umbrellas and chairs. Friendly instructors, and everyone felt safe and had a good experience.

I booked a private surf lesson with Nelson. I’ve been surfing for about a year and half but new to Hawaii. Because of a tropical storm the waves were bigger. Nelson made it so much fun with his aloha spirit. He was a fantastic surf coach and helped improve my pop up and confidence. Thanks Nelson!!

so fun! first time & got to ride waves and learn how to surf:) even got to stand up! definitely recommend!

Very thorough instructor Krishan who taught me and three children the basics of surfing, got us all to stand up and catch a wave or two on a BEAUTIFUL beach. I saw a sea turtle swimming and coming up for air when I was paddling back which was amazing. I'm from the East coast so I am the least equipped person ever to surf (done it twice before this, and the paddling is what kills me lol). However, Krishan was still very patient and kind and I highly recommend booking a surf lesson with Kauai Beach Boys! It is worth what you pay by far.

On my bucket list to learn to surf with a board. The instructor was patient, knowledgable, and friendly. I enjoyed the lessons and the location is perfect. Thank you so much for enriching my life!

Beautiful beach. Waves our further, can’t walk out, so compared to Hannalei and Poipu, the kids don’t catch as many waves, but the waves are longer. Way less crowded than the other surf school spots, though. Even with a cruise ship docked.

Wonderful experience! I had so much fun. Christian was an excellent instructor very funny, very patient, provided straightforward, easy to understand instructions. I had a blast. I believe you will too! I cannot wait for my next experience with Kauai Beach Boys!!!!

Nelson was so great he taught very well gave great tips and every time we went he gave something to maybe fix if you fell or just gave motivation to go again. Would recommend. Thank you Nelson!!

Highly recommend these guys! Easy to book, great staff, and amazing time. Booked my daughter a "group surf lesson at kalapaki beach" for 1.5 hrs. Great little spot. Small beach perfect for learning. Instructor was great, easy to understand & talk to, and very helpful. She had an awesome time, and was able to stand up and surf on her own. Will definitely be a memorable experience. Wish I did it with her. Thank you for teaching her!

The surfing lesson covered the basics and gave us confidence. Our instructor, Chris, was patient and helped us understand what to do. The waves were good for a beginner, and he helped us pick the right waves to attempt to ride. Even though we were only able to stand up for a couple of seconds on each wave, we would definitely try this again. Highly recommend.

Amazing surf lesson for my daughters and me. Would do it again, hands down. Krishan is the man. He helped us ride some pretty fussy waves, all while navigating the local pecking order. Got the longest ride of my life on my last go. Loved his tips and tidbits of knowledge.

We had a GREAT time! Krishon was our instructor and he was so knowledgeable! He was patient with us and totally supportive. He helped us catch good waves - which we could not have done without help. We feel grateful to have taken the lesson. Totally worth it. We also rented beach chairs and an umbrella from Beach Boys as well. We walked down to the beach and ate at Sonata by Marriott. It was a perfect Hawaiian day!

Sign up for the surfing lesson was super simple, and we had an amazing coach named Kai that helped us stand up and ride a wave for the first time ever! Highly recommend this spot for surfers of all skill levels; a professional and fun atmosphere for a wonderful experience.

Instructor was awesome and gave great tips. Lots of locals that were polite or ket to themselves. There were families along the rockwall that would cheer or laugh when you crash, but I really enjoyed it! Tons of fun and a highlight of my trip.

Great instruction to relearn surfing on nice waves and an excellent surf instructor. I would highly recommend for any new surfers or someone restarting after injury or time off from surfing.

Great teacher. Very patient and knowledgeable! Plenty of time to make sure everyone got some waves! Thank you, Krisna!

Kishan transformed my surf lesson into an incredible, personalized experience. His humor and genuine support helped me not just learn technique, but build real confidence. Understanding my goals, he guided me to improve my skills and form with Kauai Beach Boys, making each moment on the waves both fun and meaningful.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Nelson turned my first surfing experience into an empowering adventure. As a complete novice, his calm, positive coaching helped me feel confident and connected to the ocean's majestic power. More than just a lesson, it was a journey of personal growth, skill-building, and profound respect for nature's raw beauty.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pa’a, surf instructor, was outstanding! He gave clear directions and watched out for our safety. So many memories made catching the waves to shore

Pa’a, the surf instructor was amazing! He was very clear in his teaching and had great attention to my safety. It was exhilarating to ride the wave in!

We were a family of five wanting to enjoy the Hawaiian surf. As Canadians with no surfing experience, we weren't sure how well we would do. The Kauai Beach Boys were great. Our instructor were clear, helpful, easy to follow, and helped us all understand technic and how to read the waves. We're happy to say that all 5 of us were able to ride the waves!!! The experience was fabulous!!!

We did a surf lesson on our last day in Kauai. It was a memorable experience and certainly a lot of fun. That said, I do wish that we had gotten a bit more help from the instructor. Pretty much everyone there was surfing for their first time and there was a broad range of physical abilities yet the instructor pretty much assumed that everyone was at the same level and didn't provide assistance when folks were clearly struggling.
