About
Want to learn to surf without fighting for space in a busy lineup? These beginner-friendly surf lessons run at Ala Moana Beach Park, a quieter stretch of sand with mellow conditions that make learning easier and less stressful.
You’ll be coached by instructors who hold lifeguard licenses, so safety stays the priority from start to finish. Even if you can’t swim or you’ve never surfed before, you can still join—your instructor stays close, guides you step-by-step, and keeps the session controlled and comfortable.
As a bonus, you can use reef shoes and rash guards at no extra cost (limited sizes available).
