Description

Learn to surf at Hanalei Bay with instruction from the professionals of Hawaiian Surfing Adventures. Hanalei surf lessons last for 1.5 hours; the first 30 minutes or so is spent watching the ocean, taking about ocean safety, and teaching proper positioning on the board. Once you learn how to stand up on the board when you are on the beach, you'll take your board out to the ocean to apply your newly learned skills. Instructors will help you catch a wave and give further insight while on the water for the next hour. After a lesson, you may rent a board if you'd like more time out on the water.

Children do great in lessons, but they should be able to swim and feel comfortable in the ocean. It is recommended that children under 12 have a parent accompany them on a lesson. If no parent wants to participate then private lessons are available.

Hawaiian Surfing Adventures has a surf shop in downtown Hanalei where you check in prior to your lesson. After check in guests drive to the beach location where the lesson takes place that day. The exact location will vary depending on the angle of the swells hitting the bay ... often the lessons are done near the Hanalei Pier (which is great for spectators to watch) but sometimes they move to the other side of the bay and occasionally they need to move to a nearby north shore beach.

On Monday through Friday all lessons are conducted as either PRIVATE ... one on one instruction ... or SEMI-PRIVATE ... just your group of 2-4 with your own instructor. On Saturdays, all lessons are conducted as a GROUP LESSON with a flat rate of $100 per student.
