About Your Lesson
When you sign up, we provide all the essentials: a soft-top surfboard, leash, and rashguard, so you can focus entirely on learning and having fun.

Already comfortable in the water or have some experience? You’ll have the option to upgrade to a higher-performance board at a discounted rate through our partner, Kauai Surfboard Rentals.

For the best conditions—cleaner waves, lighter winds, and fewer people in the lineup—morning lessons are highly recommended.

What’s Included in Your 90-Minute Lesson

30 Minutes – On-Land Training
Your instructor will start with the groundwork on the beach, covering:

  • How to paddle efficiently

  • Proper body and board positioning

  • How to pop up and stand with balance

  • Basic lineup etiquette and sharing waves safely

  • Key ocean safety principles

  • How to “read” the ocean and understand changing wave patterns

Then you’ll head into the bay to apply what you’ve learned:

  • Catch beginner-friendly waves with your instructor’s support

  • Practice standing up and riding waves toward shore

After your lesson, you’ll receive a discount at Kauai Surfboard Rentals so you can rent a board and come back to surf again on your own time.
