Activity Details
All surfers must be confident swimmers and comfortable in the ocean.
Your private 60-minute lesson begins on the sand with about 15 minutes of warmup, safety briefing, and surf etiquette. During this time, your instructor will walk you through board basics—positioning, paddling, and how to pop up correctly.
From there, you’ll head down to the beach (transport is provided) and into the water for the main part of your session. With your instructor by your side, you’ll start catching waves, standing up, and riding them in, with clear feedback after each attempt.
A surfboard rental and rash guard are included in the lesson, so all you need to bring is your swimwear, towel, and enthusiasm. If you’d like to surf specifically with Kaʻula, you can email ahead to request him, subject to availability.
