WHAT THE DOG SURFING EXPERIENCE INVOLVES

WHO IT IS FOR
Dog people who are heading to the North Shore anyway, and complete beginners in particular. SUPDog Hawaii run this at Pua’ena Point, teaching you to surf in the company of their rescue dogs; the dogs are trained for it and handled by the crew throughout, so your job is simply to learn the wave while one of them rides it with you. The inside water at Pua’ena is calmer than most North Shore breaks, which is why this works even if you have never surfed before – a real consideration on a coast better known for waves that beginners should stay well away from. Ninety minutes, with board and rash guard supplied, booked as a single-guest session. You meet at Pua Ena Beach Park, Kahalewai Place, Haleiwa, HI 96712.
Consider instead: the same experience runs in Waikiki from the Duke Kahanamoku statue at $200, worth it only if you are staying there and do not want the drive. For a conventional lesson at the same beach without the dogs, SUPDog’s standard surf lesson is $100.
