Highlights
  • Marina Parking Garage - Your Private Group Lessons will consist of your individual group of 2-4 people ages 12 or older.
  1. We will meet at the end of the parking lot and you can choose the best size water shirt and water shoes.
  2. We will begin by doing a demo near the entrance of the water to help you feel comfortable with safety, paddling, pop ups on the board, and covering any questions you may have.
  3. This will be followed by an hour of practicing your surfing skills. Our instructors will be helping tow you if you are struggling paddling by yourself. They will also be pushing you on waves and helping you get comfortable with catching the waves.
  4. Once we paddle back to shore we will get any purchased photos/videos uploaded the same day and send an email by that evening for your lifetime memories!

You are guaranteed to catch a wave even if you ride on your stomach, however most people will catch multiple waves standing during their first beginner lesson.

Wonderful, Fun, and Safe - Our kiddos got the blessing to learn to surf with Jake and they loved it. He helped them learn the basics, but the best part is that they got ample time to catch waves and feel the freedom of surfing on their own, while having the safety net of Jake nearby taking care of them. From a mom point of view, I was reassured immediately when I saw how good Jake was with them. Bonus points that his lovely wife Sarah was there to capture the moments so I could just enjoy watching them. Highly recommend!

Great Surfing Lessons - Jake is an experienced instructor and very pleasant to work with. He helps me feel very safe in the water and knows how to read the waves to pick the best one to ride. I have had several lessons with him and they were all great experiences. I highly recommend Manifesting Aloha Surf School for your next water adventure!

The only review you need to read - As surfing is part of Hawaiis culture, I felt the need to give it a try. Totally sure 'I will never get a wafe', I chose Manifesting Aloha surf school - highly recommended by the English school I visited during my stay and other classmates. After a quick introduction we went out to the waves and the rest is history: I immediately stood the first wave and the rush you feel then is incredible. I think that was also the point when the addiction kicked in. So there was no question of booking another session with this surf school straight away. „Why booking the session with Manifesting Aloha?“ Jake is a very friendly person and a very competent teacher. You get perfect equipment - new surf boards and additional clothes if desired. The location has in my opinion better waves than Waikiki and is less crowded. He helps you not only to stand on the board but also how you can improve your technique or take the next steps (such as steering along the wave) To sum up, go for it (as Eddy would do) and the taken pictures and videos are something you will be very proud of - not only for your own video analysis but also to show off to family and friends (or instagram).

Amazing surfing experience and patient and knowledgeable instructor! Highly recommend! - This experience was awesome! Jake was an amazing and patient teacher! He made my friend and I feel comfortable and safe while surfing. I would recommend these lessons to newcomers and people with prior surfing experience. He had a lot of great tips on form and surfing etiquette. I also appreciated that they provided us with water shoes and rash guards. We're already planning our next lesson!! I would highly recommend taking lessons here!
