About the Lesson
Every student is set up with a soft-top surfboard, leash, and rashguard—everything you need to feel safe, stable, and ready to ride.

If you already have some surfing experience, you can upgrade to a higher-performance board at a discounted rate through our sister company, Kauai Surfboard Rentals.

For the best experience, we recommend morning sessions, when the waves are cleaner, the wind is lighter, and the lineup is usually less crowded.

Semi-Private Surf Lesson Details

  • Semi-private lessons require 2-3 participants. If you’re looking for one-on-one instruction, our private lessons would be perfect for your needs with completely personalized attention.

  • Our instructors excel at teaching mixed-level groups! We adapt instruction to accommodate different experience levels, ensuring everyone learns appropriate skills while progressing together safely and confidently.

  • Semi-private lessons cost more per person than large group lessons but less than private instruction. You’re paying for enhanced personal attention and smaller group benefits while still sharing costs.

  • We’ll do our best to accommodate instructor requests based on availability. All our instructors are highly qualified, so you’ll receive excellent instruction regardless of assignment.

  • We recommend booking at least 48-72 hours in advance, especially during peak season. Semi-private lessons are popular and have limited availability due to the specialized small group format.
