Surfing - 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. Often children 6 and under may be on a tandem lesson, although if older kids feel uncomfortable in the ocean, then a tandem lesson helps them feel safer and is recommended for them as well.
If any participants cannot swim please advise the staff ahead of time as a private lesson may be recommended.
If any participants have any medical conditions or injuries that we should be aware of please advise the staff ahead of time.
If you are prone to seasickness, you may want to take a remedy you are accustomed to using about an hour before the lesson (talk to your doctor for recommendations).
These lessons are a ratio of 1 instructor for every 3/4 family members.
All of our written materials are also available in Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. We will do our best to accommodate, but cannot guarantee, Japanese, Korean, Spanish or Chinese speaking-instructors with enough advance notice.

I can't stop thinking about this amazing experience. My children and I loved our surfing lessons, and we can't wait to go back to do more! Two lessons were not enough for us beginner surfers. The teachers were patient, kind, professional and just amazing! Our dream came true to do lessons in Waikiki and all we talk about is keeping up the sport (despite seasickness and many wipeouts haha) and it's our favourite sport, especially in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii. Highly recommend Ohana Surf Project, our family gives them 10 stars! Thanks again for an amazing experience.

Liz, thank you so much for all your kind words!! Like we said, seasickness is totally normal, but we know quite a few surfers who combat it by taking a remedy beforehand. Wipeouts are all apart of the fun, too! We really hope you and the kids can continue the sport!! Keep surfing, and we hope to see you all again soon! Aloha :)
