This was a great beginner surfing class. I’ve taken one other surf class about six years ago in Kauai and this one was definitely more detailed. They begin with a video that shows you some very necessary, safety precautions when being in the water with so many people as as well as steps for standing up on your surfboard, which I think would’ve been helpful the first time I went surfing. The waves at Waikiki are small so again they are perfect for beginners. Halfway through my 14yr son was asking bigger waves.lol we both picked it up right away and we’re even able to catch some waves on our own halfway through the lesson. Seth, our instructor was fantastic, super friendly, super professional. The only downside is the water is so shallow. There was lots of coral close to the surface and so they instruct you to fall flat on your stomach if you do fall. Both my son and I got a scrape, which was no big deal, but I could imagine it could be dangerous for people not as agile.
