    FAQs

    Q: The forecast shows huge waves. Will my lesson be canceled or in large waves?

    Q: What happens during the lesson?

    Q: Are there age restrictions?

    A: Guests must be at least 12 to join a public group lesson. Younger children or those needing extra attention should book a private lesson or Ohana package.

    Q: I can’t swim, can I take a surfing lesson?

    The instructors here are consistently praised for being patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about teaching surfing. Names like Fletcher, Chris, Dane, Scottie, and Haven come up repeatedly, with families especially appreciating how naturally the team works with kids of all ages. First-timers report standing up on their first attempts thanks to concise beach tutorials that translate immediately to success in the water. The vibe is professional yet fun, with instructors sharing stories and local knowledge that adds to the experience. The location at Turtle Bay offers ideal beginner conditions, and instructors adapt to wave conditions by taking groups to alternate spots when needed. Professional photography packages receive enthusiastic recommendations, with guests loving the angles and memories captured. The one notable complaint involves surfboard rentals, where availability was inconsistent and pricing seemed steep for the condition of equipment. If you're coming for lessons though, particularly as a family or first-timer, you'll find an operation that delivers exactly what it promises with genuine aloha spirit.

    Fletcher was an awesome coach! Made this experience the best part of my trip to Oahu! He was super helpful and made this experience great. Also, Lincoln at the front desk was extremely helpful in questions prior to my lesson. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to catch some waves on the North Shore. Also, the photos from the professional photographer were awesome! And completed the experience. They were additional cost but could not pass them up.
