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 loved Ohana Surf Project! It was the first activity we did in Hawaii with our family of six (ages11-50). Everyone had a blast and felt comfortable, safe, and adventurous with the superb staff.

Our family of 4, including 2 teenagers, had an absolute blast! One teen was pretty hesitant but Chelsea found ways for her to catch waves and gain confidence. Everyone was so encouraging and you could tell they had a genuine love for surfing and wanted all of us to experience that too. Overall a well run operation with friendly staff.
