WHAT THE WAVE POOL SESSION INVOLVES
For proficient surfers and surfers advancing from the 30-foot wide wave! The 65-foot wave at Wai Kai offers a thrilling wave riding experience for surfers looking to take their skills to the next level. With over double the wave size of the 30-foot version, you’ll have a wider wave face, allowing you to generate more speed and execute harder carving turns and attempt advanced maneuvers in various sections of the wave. You’re also welcome to bring your own surfboard, but please note that The LineUp is not liable for any damage to personal gear during your session.

WHO IT IS FOR
Surfers who can already ride confidently and want to work on performance rather than basics. This is Wai Kai’s 65-foot wave, more than double the width of their 30-foot version, and the extra face lets you generate real speed, put in harder carving turns and attempt advanced manoeuvres through different sections of the wave. It is sold explicitly as the step up for surfers advancing from the narrower wave, so it is the wrong place to start from scratch. The appeal over the ocean is repeatability: the same wave, on demand, as many times as your session allows, which is very difficult to get in real surf. You are welcome to bring your own surfboard, though The LineUp accept no liability for damage to personal gear during a session.
Consider instead: if you have never surfed, Wai Kai’s standard wave pool session is built for first-timers – no paddling and no pop-up required, with helmets and soft-tops mandatory for your first three waves. If you want a full day rather than a single session, the Surf and Paddle bundle is $164.
