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.

We had a wonderful time learning to surf with Troy! He was an excellent teacher for our tired bodies. I felt safe with the surf school. They seemed much more professional than some others out in the water. We loved it and canā€™t believe we were able to stand up and ride the wave so quickly. Thanks Troy!

Thank you so much for your review!! You're capable of so much more than you think, so we're not surprised at all that you were able to stand up and shred through the wave, especially with an instructor like Troy to guide you! We hope your tired bodies had the best naps afterwards, and we hope to see you again soon! Aloha~

The instructors were so helpful. They were able to teach and help all of us actually get up while making it so fun.
