Learn to surf in Waikiki, Honolulu, with a hands-on lesson from Hans Hedemann Surf School on Kapahulu Avenue. Your surf instructor coaches you through the essentials: basic surfing techniques, ocean safety, paddling, and how to catch and ride your first wave. The coaching is designed to work for everyone, whether you are a beginner or an advanced surfer, young or old, nervous or eager to get on the board. Choose the option that suits you: a group surf lesson, or a semi-private lesson for a small group of two or three students. A surfboard, rashguard and reef shoes are included with every lesson, so you only need to bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. Lessons run in set time slots, and you should arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before your scheduled start. Participants must be aged 14 or over, and the lesson is not recommended for anyone with impaired physical mobility or medical conditions such as high blood pressure or epilepsy.
