Surfing Lessons for Every Skill and Experience Level

Here at Sea & Board Sports Hawaii, we embrace the ancient Hawaiian tradition of he’e nalu (or wave-sliding) and we’re excited to share our passion for the sport with you.

Whether you’re a first-timer or someone looking to sharpen your board-skills, we have the lesson for you. From beginner to advanced surf lessons, we’ll get you looking and feeling better after just one lesson.

Why Choose Our North Shore Surfing Lessons?

We get it—learning something new can feel intimidating. That’s why safety is always our #1 priority. Our instructors are lifeguard-certified, experienced (we’re talking decades of experience), and ridiculously good at what they do—but more importantly, they know how to make learning to surf easy and enjoyable–we keep things fun, low-pressure, and beginner-friendly.

✔ Private, semi-private and small & large group lessons (so you can learn at your own pace)

✔ Two-hour sessions—long enough to get the hang of it, but not so long that you’re wiped out for the rest of the day

✔ Hands-on instruction both on the beach and in the water

✔ Located on the North Shore—one of the best places to surf in Hawaii

What’s Included in Your Surfing Lessons?

We provide everything you need for a successful surf session. You just show up ready to have fun.

✔ Top-quality ST longboard (other board types available on request)

✔ Rash guard (because sunburn + board rash = not fun)

✔ Pre- beginner surf instruction on the beach to cover the basics before you hit the water

✔ One-on-one guidance in the water, including a little push from your instructor to help you catch that first wave

Our lessons cover surfing fundamentals, including:

✔ How to read the surf (a.k.a. where to catch the best waves)

✔ Surf etiquette (so you don’t accidentally cut someone off)

✔ Timing & wave-catching techniques (the key to actually riding, not just tumbling off the board)

✔ Paddling to standing transition (yes, we’ll make sure you stand up)

Private vs. Group Lessons: What’s Right for You?

Not sure which lesson to book? Here’s what we offer:

✔ Private 1-on-1 Lesson – Just you and an instructor. The fastest way to learn and perfect for anyone who wants personalized coaching or who has some experience but wants to take their skills to the next level. This lesson is also for children 2–12 years old. The personalized attention means they’ll be safe and having fun.

✔ Semi-Private Lesson – Basically a private lesson, but for you and your travelling companions. Perfect for couples, friends or families who want to learn together–for bonding’s sake.

✔ Group Lesson – A fun, social experience where you’ll learn alongside other beginner surfers in a relaxed setting (don’t worry, you’ll still get tons of personal instruction).

✔ Bigger Group Lesson– Family reunion? Corporate event? Adventure retreat? Special pricing is available for larger group lessons.

If you’re unsure which lesson is right for you, give us a call! We’re happy to help you choose the best option.

What to Expect at Your Surfing Lessons

✔ Arrive ready for an adventure. We’ll start with a quick land lesson where we go over the basics—how to paddle, pop up and read the waves.

✔ Hit the water. Your instructor will be right there with you helping you position yourself for the perfect wave.

✔ Catch your first wave. With your new-found skills (and maybe a little push), you’ll be standing up in no time.

✔ Celebrate! Whether you ride a wave for 10 seconds or just manage to stand for 3, you’re officially a surfer.

Our Surf Lessons are on the North Shore of Oahu

Oahu has plenty of surf spots, but the North Shore is famous for a reason–it is hands-down one of the best places in the world to surf. Although sometimes known for its epic surf, the North Shore’s seasonal conditions mean that the waves here are perfect for beginner surfers—gentle enough to practice, but strong enough to give you that real surfing experience.

Plus, the expertise of our instructors means you’ll always be at the best break that day.
