WHAT THE BODYBOARDING LESSON INVOLVES
It is one of the easier watersports to get into, tons of fun and there is much more to it than simply riding a board on your stomach. Our instructors will teach you techniques, tricks, and methods that will allow you to ride the waves like a pro. From the beginner to advanced, we have you covered! All prices include bodyboards, fins and all the equipment you need to get up and ride.
HOW IT RUNS
The meeting point is in Waikiki. All you have to bring is is your swimwear, towel, sunscreen and change of clothes.

WHO IT IS FOR
People who want waves without a pop-up. Bodyboarding is one of the easiest watersports to get into, which makes this a good choice for anyone who has tried surfing and found standing up the barrier, for younger riders, and for anyone who wants to be riding within minutes rather than at the end of a lesson. Ohana Surf Project treat it as a discipline rather than a consolation prize: instructors teach technique, tricks and methods, and take students from complete beginner through to advanced. Bodyboards, fins and all the equipment are in the price. All you bring is swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a change of clothes. The meeting point is in Waikiki and is confirmed at booking.
Consider instead: if you do want to stand, Ohana Surf Project’s own surf lessons run from the same Waikiki base, and Hans Hedemann’s two-hour group lesson is $100. For waves with no board skill at all, outrigger canoe surfing is $48 for 30 minutes.
