Health & Safety
All participants must be able to swim and feel comfortable in the ocean. This is essential for your safety and for getting the most out of your time in the water.

Experience surfing at Poʻipū Beach—the perfect place to learn the “Sport of Kings” in a relaxed, beginner-friendly setting. Our fully trained, certified instructors create a safe, fun environment while teaching you all the fundamentals you need to start surfing with confidence. We keep groups small, focus on clear instruction, and always bring a friendly, professional attitude.

Each lesson begins on land with a short demo and technique session, then moves into the ocean for about an hour of wave-catching with your instructor by your side. You’ll practice paddling, popping up, and riding waves, with real-time tips to help you improve quickly.

Soft-top surfboards, booties, and a rash guard are all provided—you just show up ready to learn and have fun.
