The place to learn to surf in Kauai!

On my bucket list to learn to surf with a board. The instructor was patient, knowledgable, and friendly. I enjoyed the lessons and the location is perfect. Thank you so much for enriching my life!

Great beach

Beautiful beach. Waves our further, can’t walk out, so compared to Hannalei and Poipu, the kids don’t catch as many waves, but the waves are longer. Way less crowded than the other surf school spots, though. Even with a cruise ship docked.

Small Group surf lesson

Highly recommend these guys! Easy to book, great staff, and amazing time. Booked my daughter a "group surf lesson at kalapaki beach" for 1.5 hrs. Great little spot. Small beach perfect for learning. Instructor was great, easy to understand & talk to, and very helpful. She had an awesome time, and was able to stand up and surf on her own. Will definitely be a memorable experience. Wish I did it with her. Thank you for teaching her!

Good Time Hangin' 10!

The surfing lesson covered the basics and gave us confidence. Our instructor, Chris, was patient and helped us understand what to do. The waves were good for a beginner, and he helped us pick the right waves to attempt to ride. Even though we were only able to stand up for a couple of seconds on each wave, we would definitely try this again. Highly recommend.

10/10. Would definitely do again. Shout out to Krishan!

Amazing surf lesson for my daughters and me. Would do it again, hands down. Krishan is the man. He helped us ride some pretty fussy waves, all while navigating the local pecking order. Got the longest ride of my life on my last go. Loved his tips and tidbits of knowledge.

Thank you!

We had a GREAT time! Krishon was our instructor and he was so knowledgeable! He was patient with us and totally supportive. He helped us catch good waves - which we could not have done without help. We feel grateful to have taken the lesson. Totally worth it. We also rented beach chairs and an umbrella from Beach Boys as well. We walked down to the beach and ate at Sonata by Marriott. It was a perfect Hawaiian day!

Caught my first wave!

Sign up for the surfing lesson was super simple, and we had an amazing coach named Kai that helped us stand up and ride a wave for the first time ever! Highly recommend this spot for surfers of all skill levels; a professional and fun atmosphere for a wonderful experience.

Great experience!

Instructor was awesome and gave great tips. Lots of locals that were polite or ket to themselves. There were families along the rockwall that would cheer or laugh when you crash, but I really enjoyed it! Tons of fun and a highlight of my trip.
