Surfing Lessons
All surfers share a common sensation that simply can’t be explained in words. After your very first wave, you’ll share it too. Our mission is to help you experience that sensation and to reach the next level of performance. Our goal is to enhance your total surfing experience through smart instruction in a personal environment. Our surfing lessons in Waikiki, HI are customized to fit any experience level and learning style and are offered in Waikiki and on the North Shore of Oahu. They are crafted individually for the beginning surfer who wants to test the waters for the very first time, for the intermediate surfer looking to improve on fundamentals or take on more challenging waves and maneuvers, and for the advanced professional level surfer who is on the search for a competitive edge or simply to push themselves to their own personal limits.
Our lessons for beginners will teach you the basic elements of the sport to get you up and riding —surfing etiquette, water safety, body positioning, board handling and positioning, and paddling.
For our advanced students, the instruction takes on a refined direction that matches your riding style — correcting ‘bad habits’, identifying strengths and weaknesses in technique, competitive strategies, and surfing bigger waves.
Most importantly, all students will receive instruction that acknowledges the mental, emotional, and spiritual elements that make surfing such a unique and beautiful sport. You’ll learn how to connect with the ocean environment, understand the line up and the actions of surfers around you, and surf to express your personality.
Our lessons can be customized to your skill level and to the degree of wave difficulty you desire in regard to wave size and power. From the North Shore to Waikiki, O’ahu has virtually every type of wave and surfing condition imaginable. All prices include surfboards and all the equipment you need to get up and ride. All you have to bring is your swim suit or board shorts, towel, sunscreen and change of clothes.
One surfer is enough. Two surfers is an occasion. Three surfers is a party. Team Ohana’s open group lesson option is an affordable way to bring friends together or to make new ones. Our open group lessons offer that perfect mix of individual attention in a team environment. Everyone improves and everyone has fun.
