About this tour, from the operator

Come join us and enjoy the best surfing experience Waikiki can offer! The Group Lesson is an affordable way for participants 13 and older to try surfing for the first or 50th time.  Our group lessons offer that perfect mix of individual attention in a team environment. Everyone improves and everyone has fun. Our group sizes vary, but have a ratio of 1 instructor for every 4 students. With our high-quality boards, reef shoes and rash-guard shirts, instruction and video-viewing, and best-in-class, professional surf guides, we provide the ultimate group surfing lesson.
