WHAT THE SEMI-PRIVATE SURF LESSON INVOLVES
Waves Hawaii’s closed-group lesson: two hours at Kalama Park with an instructor booked to your party alone. Their phrasing is blunt — “your own private group, where no one adds on” — which is the whole distinction from their $99 open group session.
HOW IT RUNS
You meet at the Waves Hawaii truck at Kalama Park, across from the Aloha gas station, five minutes before your slot with waivers signed. The lesson opens with a detailed ocean safety briefing and a land lesson, then moves into the water. Board, reef shoes and rash guard are supplied, and mornings are recommended for the calmest water.
PRICING
$165 per person for the two-hour closed-group lesson, all equipment included. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.
