Three-Person Private Surf Lesson in Waikiki: Ninety Minutes to Stand Up and Ride.
On the protected sands of Waikiki, a private lesson for three condenses the essentials of surfing into a single, deliberate 90-minute session: a light warm-up, technique drills on the beach, a safety briefing, then guided time in the water where an instructor points out waves and helps you find your line. Designed for groups and open to all experience levels, the session promises concentrated, personalized coaching beneath a tropical sky.

Private, Focused Instruction for Three
This is a private surf lesson tailored for exactly three participants, giving each person sustained one-on-one time with the instructor over a 90-minute session that moves from warm-up to in-water coaching.
Technique, Safety and Progressive Practice
Lessons follow a clear progression: a light warm-up, paddle and pop-up instruction, a safety briefing, then supervised attempts at catching and riding waves with real-time guidance from the instructor.
Gliding on Waikiki’s Gentle Waves
Expect guided wave selection and coaching in the lineup—moments of weightlessness as you find your feet and ride small, forgiving Waikiki waves create the lasting memory of the session.
What the day feels like
What the 90 Minutes Feel Like
The lesson is deliberately compact: a short physical warm-up on the sand, an instructor-led run-through of paddling and standing technique, followed by a safety briefing, then you transition quickly into the water to practice catching waves with the instructor nearby to advise which waves to take and to offer corrections in the moment.
