About this experience

Learn to surf away from the crowds of Waikiki in a more local surf break. My goal is to have customers catch the most waves possible and capture all the moments on provided GoPro cameras. This surfing lesson is unique as I limit it to just two students. This maximizes wave count and overall quality of the experience. Videos and pictures are included at no additional cost.
