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.

Family lessons require at least one child 12 or younger and one of their parents. Additional family members may be added. All participants must be able to swim and paddle their boards independently.
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 benefit from 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.
Please come prepared for the lesson by wearing your bathing suit, bringing a towel and making sure to apply sunscreen ahead of time.
Complimentary transportation is available from select locations in Waikiki. Exact pick-up location and time will be emailed to you by the supplier.

We had an amazing experience. Ohana surf project team is amazing. We were surfing for the first time. They were very patient and helped us to get steadily comfortable with the waves and surfing techniques

My wife and I did a semi-private lesson and our son (7 y/o) did a private lesson. It was the first time surfing for all of us and the instructors were fantastic. Very clear instructions, very supportive, and you could just tell that they were incredibly focused on making sure we had a great experience. After seeing some other lessons happening around Waikiki it became apparent just how much OSP is above the others, including the staff/student ratio, logistics, pictures/video (which I never buy, but did here), and the location of the actual surfing. I would recommend this 100% and would absolutely do another lesson with OSP next time we are in Oahu.
