Highlights
  • 2699 Kalākaua Ave - To start off your lesson, we come pick you up! Our knowledgeable staff will meet you at one of our convenient hotel pick-up locations. You’ll be stoked to ride in our air-conditioned, clean, easy-to-spot, white shuttle with our logo on the side. After our friendly staff introduce themselves, we will shuttle you to our Ohana Surf Center located in the Waikiki Beach Marriott. From there you will get checked-in, geared up, will watch our safety presentation and then will be shuttled to the beach for some surfing!

Once by the ocean, you will meet your instructor and talk about your previous experience, swimming strength or any other concerns or conditions, then we’ll have you walk your high quality lesson boards to the beach. When you’re comfortable and ready, we leash ourselves to the board and into the water we go!

After the lesson, you’ll be taken back to the Ohana Surf Center where you can check out photographs, videos, the work of our cameraman or buy some merch for yourself or friends. Then after your purchases are made, we drive you back to one of our convenient drop off locations.

Best family surf experience for ALL AGES - Family was visiting and wanted a surf lesson. We choose Ohana Surf Project because they are highly recommended!! I now know why. Booking was simple.

Great place to learn to surf! - This lesson was so much fun, I went twice! Really clear explanations, patient instructors, and easy conditions. I had never surfed before and they made it really easy to learn quickly! Would absolutely recommend a lesson here.

Best surf lesson! - Best 2hr group lesson surfing. After a quick instruction and safety briefing in the shop we boarded to surf school bus to the beach, it’s a short ride but appreciated! We had Mark as our instructor and well what a guy! He had us do some stretches on the beach and had us practice our technique before heading to the water. My husband managed to stand on every wave which was incredible! I struggled a little but Mark and the other guys out there were great by giving advice and guidance for the next waves. I managed to stand a couldn’t have enjoyed myself anymore! We even purchased the videos and photos after….well worth it for some amazing action shots we had no idea were being taken. Thank you so much Mark and the Ohana surf team, we had so much fun!! Laura & Dave B

So Much Fun! - It's fun to be in a lesson when the coach really wants to see you excel. And the multiple coaches made it feel like it was one-on-one. Everything about our time with this organization was fantastic. Great communication with the van pick up and lots of encouragement out on the waves. Our family would recommend Ohana Surf Project to everyone!

Look at the trees. - No pressure to stand up. If riding a wave on your belly or on the knees is your thing then just enjoy the experience. Ohana surf, such a good experience I went twice. Best tip of the day 'just look at the trees', the rest will come naturally.
