Surfing Lessons

If you’ve ever dreamed of gliding across the ocean’s surface, dancing with the rhythm of the waves, there’s no better time than now—and no better place than here. Surfing isn’t just a sport; it’s a soulful connection to nature, a thrilling challenge, and an unforgettable way to experience the ocean’s raw, commanding energy up close. It’s about feeling alive, present, and in sync with the sea. We offer surfing lessons at any point of your journey.

We work with the island’s most passionate and professional surf instructors—true watermen and waterwomen who have dedicated their lives to the waves. These instructors don’t just teach, they inspire. Whether you’re a curious first-timer or an intermediate surfer looking to refine your technique, your lesson will be thoughtfully tailored to your comfort level, ensuring a safe, empowering, and fun experience. You’ll learn not just how to stand on a board, but how to read the waves, feel the currents, and respect the ocean.

The sun warming your back, the salt-kissed breeze on your face, and the rush of catching your very first wave. It’s a feeling of pure freedom—an exhilaration you’ll carry long after you’ve dried off. And with the coastline as your classroom, every moment is as breathtaking as it is invigorating.

If you love to surf but the ocean does not have the waves, consider trying out e-foiling, a way to experience Kauai waters, even when the water is peaceful.

More Information

Lessons typically last 90 minutes and include all necessary equipment, from soft-top boards to rash guards. You are also able to change the sessions depending on your comfort level with the waves. We can book a more private session, or a session with a group. We recommend morning sessions for the best conditions, and we’d be delighted to reserve a spot for you with one of our top-rated local schools.

The ocean is calling. Let us help you ride your first wave.

Locations

Poipu Beach is where your surfing journey begins—home to ideal waves and a welcoming surf community. Surfing is more than a bucket-list experience—it’s a gateway to a lifestyle rooted in joy, balance, and boundless adventure. 

If you’re on the other side of the island, Hanalei Bay also offers surfing lessons that can be arranged according to your needs.
