Activity Details

Learn to Surf in Hawaiʻi

If you’re visiting Hawaiʻi, learning to surf is one of those must-do experiences. That first moment you stand up and glide across a wave is something you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Your instructor, Charlie Smith, is a professional surfer and high-level surf coach who has been helping visitors catch their first waves since the 1990s. With years of experience in local waters, he knows how to keep things safe, relaxed, and fun.

How the Lesson Works

The lesson begins on the sand, where Charlie shows you the most important skill in surfing: how to stand correctly on the board. Using soft-top surfboards laid out on the beach, you’ll practice your stance, foot placement, and basic movement in a controlled setting.

Once you’ve got the fundamentals down, it’s time to head into the water. Charlie will lead your small group out to where the waves are breaking, tell you when to start paddling, and cue you when to stand. Throughout the session, he’ll give you clear, simple instructions so you always know what to do next.

Class sizes are intentionally kept small—usually between 4 and 6 students—so everyone gets personal attention and support. If you’re traveling with a larger group, you can reach out in advance (ideally before you arrive on Kauaʻi) so arrangements can be made for everyone to learn together in a safe, well-organized setup.

Whether you’re young, older, nervous, or excited, this lesson is designed to help you feel comfortable in the water and enjoy every moment of the experience.

What’s Included
