Stand Up Paddleboarding - Family Lessons - Waikiki, Oahu

Overview
Here at Ohana Surf Project we believe our clients are like family, and we strive to provide the best service to every person who chooses to join us on the water and we welcome their loved ones who come along to support them as well. We are passionate about surfing and specialize in three ways of teaching you how to glide across the water: surf, stand up paddle and bodyboard. All of our staff members have been in the business for many years and are some of the finest instructors in the industry. We love what we do and we enjoy working together, as a team and as ohana to make our students feel safe, comfortable, and successful.

Our biggest priority is SAFETY! All our coaches and guides are professional, trained in safety (CPR, lifeguard, first aid), and friendly.

We look forward to welcoming you into our ohana and showing you the aloha spirit that has kept each of us here in Hawaii-- enjoying life & good company, respecting the 'aina (our mother earth), having fun and staying active.

  • If a student needs to be on the same board as the instructor then the child will need his/her own private instructor.

Instructors were fantastic, especially considering we had an 8yo and an uncooperative 5yo (who rode on the instructors' board). We all thought this was one of the Top 3 experiences we had in Hawaii, wish we'd booked another session!

Aloha! Kevin was so patient and kind for our family of 4... because we needed it. Our two young boys, 15 and 10, were super excited to learn so Kevin took the time to explain all paddleboarding steps and how to maneuver through the ins and outs... with a great sense of humor. We decided on paddleboarding with the idea that it would lead my water monkeys to surfing. We all highly recommend Ohana Surf Project to anyone and look forward to surfing lessons in the future. Mahalo!!!

My daughters and I recently took SUP lessons with Ohana Surf Project. They were well organized, friendly and efficient. Our instructors were fun and very helpful. We had so much fun and would highly recommend trying this.
