The south shore is where Kauai learns to surf through the summer months, when swell wraps along the Poipu coastline and the north shore goes quiet. Hawaiian Style Surfing keep the offer deliberately simple: one small-group format and one near-private format, both the same length, so the only real decision is how much of an instructor’s attention you want to pay for.
What sets the group lesson apart is the timetable. Four departures a day, seven days a week, is unusual on Kauai, and the operator points out the practical effect: spreading students across the day means fewer people in the water at any one lesson. It also lets a surf lesson fit around a Waimea Canyon drive or a Na Pali boat trip instead of defining the whole day.
HOW MUCH DO HAWAIIAN STYLE SURFING LESSONS COST?
The group lesson is $95 per person and the semi-private lesson is $150 per person. Both prices are per surfer, not per booking, so two people taking the semi-private lesson together pay $300 in total. Confirm current rates at booking.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GROUP AND SEMI-PRIVATE LESSON?
The ratio. The group lesson takes up to four students per instructor; the semi-private caps it at two. In a group of four, the instructor is positioning one surfer while three wait. At two to one, someone is being coached almost continuously, so the same 90 minutes turns into noticeably more waves. The difference is $55 per person.
WHAT TIMES DO LESSONS RUN?
The group lesson runs at 9am, 11am, 1pm and 3pm every day of the week. The earlier slots are usually cleanest, because trade winds build through the day on the south shore and put texture on the water.
WHERE DO THE LESSONS TAKE PLACE?
On Kauai’s south shore in the Poipu and Koloa area. The group lesson is listed at 2440 Hoonani Road, Koloa, HI 96756, and the semi-private lesson meets at the Sheraton Kauai Resort. Check the meeting point on your confirmation before you set off.
WHICH LESSON SHOULD I BOOK?
First-timers and anyone watching the budget should book the group lesson. Couples, friends learning together, and surfers who have already had a group lesson and want to progress faster usually get more from the semi-private format.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Swimwear worn under your clothes, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, drinking water and a change of clothes for afterwards. The surfboard and equipment are provided.
