Surf Lesson by Hawaiian Ocean's

Duke Kahanamoku (the original "Big Kahuna") and his friends popularized surfing at Waikiki Beach in the early 1900s. Take a surf lesson at the beach where it all started. Instruction is tailored to your skill level and typically lasts an hour or more.

Hawaii is best known for its surfing and beautiful beaches, with pictures of gorgeous waves and surfers on countless postcards that bring envy to families and friends of travelers back on the continent. Make your own postcard and catch some waves in one of the world's most famous surfing destinations with a surf lesson by Hawaiian Oceans at Waikiki Beach!

Beautiful Waikiki was once the playground of Hawaiian royalty, and where the famous Olympian and original "Big Kahuna" Duke Kahanamoku grew up. When the surf was up, he and his friends would ride all day, and then entertain the tourists under the hibiscus trees. These original "Beachboys of Waikiki" are credited with popularizing surfing as a sport in the early 20th century.

Hawaiian Oceans' modern-day beachboys are happy to continue spreading the love of surfing. Not only are they excellent surf instructions, they're also licensed by the State of Hawaii and have American Red Cross CPR, first aid, and lifesaving certifications.

Your lesson will be at least an hour long, and will be tailored to your level of experience—whether you're a first-timer or an experienced surfer, young or just young at heart. You'll start with a group lesson on land, where you'll learn the basics of paddling, turning, and positioning yourself on the surfboard, as well as safety and surf etiquette. The rest of your time is spent on the water with an instructor giving personalized and individualized instructions. You'll be surprised at how quickly you can be standing on a surfboard and riding the waves of Waikiki!

Comments about Smart Destinations Surf Lesson by Hawaiian Ocean's:

The instructor was very and patient with my son while he was trying to learn the basics of surfing. The lesson itself was just over an hour but by the end my son was standing up! I am not sure he will ever surf again (mid-west) but he did have a great time.
