WHO IT IS FOR
Adult beginners who can be at the beach early. Hawaii Surf Guru run this discounted group lesson at 7am and 9am only – there are no later slots – and it is aimed specifically at beginners, locals and military. Children are not accepted on this session at any age, which makes it one of the few adults-only surf lessons on Oahu and worth knowing about if you would rather learn without a beach full of children around you. It is a group lesson rather than private instruction, so you share your instructor with other students. Equipment and instruction are included in the price. The meeting point is on Oahu and is confirmed at the time of booking.
Consider instead: if a 7am or 9am start does not work, Hans Hedemann’s Waikiki group lesson is the same kind of beginner group session at $100 for two hours, from a fixed address at the Queen Kapiolani Hotel. If you are travelling with children this lesson is not an option at all – North Shore Ohana take children from age 7 in private groups, and from age 2 in tandem lessons.
HOW IT COMPARES
The price matches Hans Hedemann’s two-hour Waikiki group lesson ($100, ages 14 and up), which suits anyone who cannot make a 7am or 9am start. For more attention, Island Fiel caps lessons at two students per instructor from $140, and a one-to-one lesson with Waikiki Beach Services is $150.
