Who can enroll for surfing lessons?
Anybody between the ages of 12 to 50 without serious health problems. If you do not meet these requirements, please e-mail  us so we can discuss these issues.

What are some dangerous elements with regards to surfing?
The most dangerous things are the shallow reefs and sea urchins. Do not dive from your head when you fall from your surfboard. We provide reef boots for each student, but still recommend that you do not stand on the reef.

What is included in the each lesson?
Surfing instruction (about 2 hours);pick up and drop off service to and from your hotel; and all rental equipments for surfing (surfboard, leash, rash guard, reef boots).  The price also includes Hawaii tax, insurance, and even free photos of you surfing!

I cannot swim. Can I still take lessons?
You are not required to be a good swimmer. The longest distance you will actually swim is the length of the leash, which is about 10 feet. If you can tread water without touching the sea bottom, you have enough water skill for a surfing lesson.

Can I book a lesson the night before?
Only if we still have an opening available. We take only 10 students each day in order to maintain the quality of our surf lessons. We recommend that you book your lesson as early as you can, so you can get the date and time you want and this helps us to be better prepared for you, too.

Do I need to do anything the night before to be ready for the day of my lesson?
Get a good night's sleep and do not drink too many alcoholic beverages.  This will allow you to be in the best condition for your surfing lesson the next day.  Remember, surfing consumes a lot of energy from you.

Can I eat before my lesson?

Please do not overeat before surfing- your stomach shouldn't be full. Avoid eating foods that are very oily or fatty right before the lesson.

What should I wear?
Wear a bathing suit and beach slippers or sandals. Students will be provided with a rash guard and reef boots.

Will the waves be big?
For beginners, the waves will not be over 2 feet tall.  We choose the most suitable surf points- usually on the South side of the island.  In case the waves get too big for novice surfers, we will reschedule the lesson. Safety is the most important issue for us.

I'm worried about getting seasick...
Some people will experience seasickness in the motion of the waves.  To avoid getting seasick, eat lightly and avoid eating oily foods and citrus fruits such as oranges and pineapples. Also, if you have had previous problems with seasickness, you may want to take an over-the-counter medication such as dramamine.

What do I have to bring to my lesson?
Please bring a change of clothes, a towel, sunscreen, and a bottle of water.  Do not bring any valuables.

Do you have a cancellation policy?

Yes, we do. If you cancel within 24 hours of the starting time of your lesson, there will be no cancellation charge. However, if you cancel after that, or do not show up for your lesson, you will be charged the full price of the lesson.
