1. Big Island: Kona 2-Hour Small Group Surf Lesson

There is a saying in Hawaii that "you never forget your first wave," and this surf lesson in Kahaluu Bay brings that saying to life, providing quality surf instruction to people of all ages and skill levels. The 2-hour surf lessons are designed to teach people how to surf safely and effectively from the best surfing and snorkeling beach in Kona, Hawaii. Upon arrival at the surf shop, you will be outfitted with reef booties and rashguards. Then, before entering the water, learn how to paddle and pop up on land, as well as important surfing etiquette and how to wipe out properly. Once you are comfortable, it’s off to the water to practice your skills on the long rolling waves of Kahaluu Bay. Your surf instructor will help you catch the waves, letting you know where you need to be, when to paddle, and when to pop up. They will even give you a little push to ensure that you catch every wave you paddle for. For more advanced surfers, instructors offer advice on how to turn and catch larger waves.

My 3 daughters had a surf lesson and it was fantastic! The instructors were so nice and did a great job of teaching them the basics before they got into the water. The instructors were also very good at helping them catch a wave! Very professional. I would highly recommend!

This was a really great experience! Steve, Max and Santi were great! Steve really took the time to explain the basics and safety while we were still on land so that we felt very comfortable once we were out on the water. So happy I was able to catch some waves!!!

Gentle waves, massive board and Santi was a great instructor. He was super patient and encouraging. It was awesome!

So much fun! Rob our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful with the lesson. Great introduction for beginners!

Excellent staff! Thanks again for a terrific experience
