WHAT SETS THIS ONE APART
Transport. Almost every surf lesson in Hawaii expects you to drive yourself to the beach; this one collects you from your hotel and brings you back. The operator calls the night before to arrange the pickup, which also means the beach is chosen for the conditions on the day rather than fixed in advance.
That matters on Kauai more than on most islands. The south shore works in summer and the north in winter, so a school that can move is a school that can find you a rideable wave in either season.
WHO TEACHES IT
Charlie Smith, a professional surfer and coach who has been teaching visitors since the 1990s. Classes are deliberately kept between four and six people; larger groups should contact the operator ahead of arriving on Kauai so arrangements can be made.
HOW IT RUNS
The fundamentals are taught first with the boards laid out on the sand, focusing on the proper way to stand. Then the group moves into the water, where the instructor positions each surfer, calls the paddle and helps them up onto the wave.
