Premium Instructor-to-Student Ratio for Maximum Attention

With only 3-5 students per certified instructor, everyone receives substantially more individual attention than traditional group lessons. This premium ratio allows instructors to provide immediate feedback, correct technique in real-time, and ensure each participant progresses confidently. The intimate setting creates a supportive learning environment where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and taking on new challenges.

Flexible Pacing Adapted to Your Small Group Dynamic

Our instructors adapt the lesson pace and content to match your small group’s collective energy and learning style. With fewer participants, we can spend more time on specific techniques that benefit your group most, whether that’s building confidence in wave selection, perfecting pop-up timing, or working on balance and positioning. The ohana spirit shines brightest in these intimate settings.

Enhanced Wave Selection and Personalized Coaching

Your smaller group size allows instructors to be more selective about wave opportunities, ensuring each participant gets quality rides suited to their skill level. With fewer students to monitor, instructors can provide detailed coaching during wave selection, offering real-time guidance on positioning, timing, and technique. This results in better wave quality and accelerated learning for everyone.

Private Instruction for Families and Small Groups
This private group surf lesson is designed for families and small groups of 3–5 surfers who want personal coaching without sharing the experience with other guests. When you book, your instructor team works only with your party and adjusts the lesson to fit each surfer’s comfort level, learning style, and goals.

It’s a popular choice for special occasions and group travel—family getaways, wedding groups, reunions, and corporate or conference outings. Instructor support is arranged during booking based on your group size, and your session is led by a Red Cross CPR-certified professional with extensive North Shore experience, keeping the lesson safe, supportive, and genuinely fun.

What to Expect (1.5–2 Hours)
You’ll begin on the beach with practical coaching: how to stand up, key safety rules, and surf etiquette. Then you’ll head into the water with instruction aimed at helping your group ride as many waves as possible while staying in control and enjoying every minute. No prior surfing experience is necessary.

Gear Included
Rash guard
Leash
Soft-top or epoxy surfboard (matched to conditions and ability)

Seasonal Marine Life Sightings

Satisfaction Guarantee
If anyone in your group feels the surf lesson or service didn’t meet expectations, a refund is available—no questions asked.
