Beginner surf lesson on the North Shore!
Our family decided when in Hawaii….surf! We took a beginner lessons and were beyond pleased with our experience. Our instructors HUSTLED. I was so impressed by their ability to tow us on our surfboards, provide feedback and constant encouragement, and celebrate the lessons’ wins.

Great for all ages and ability levels!
The Ohana Surf Project was amazing from start to finish. The shuttle was fast and easy and the lesson was incredible. We had 8 people, all with no experience, ranging from ages 10-60. We were all able to stand with the help of the instructors. Chelsea, Matt, and the rest of the team made surfing accessible to everyone!!! Also, get the pictures…100% worth it!!!!

Mahalo, Max!
My teenage daughters had such a fun experience during their private surf lesson with Max. Max was patient, informative, laid-back and supportive. It was their first time surfing and they both were able to get up and successfully ride several waves. The surf shop is super convenient to the beach. My husband and I were given beach chairs to be able to comfortably watch from the beach. Mahalo to Max for a memorable day!

Surfs up!
As a solo traveler trying surfing for the very first time, my private lesson with Marco and the Ohana Surf Project was an experience I’ll never forget. Marco took care of me every step of the way. He was incredibly patient, kind, supportive, and encouraging, especially when I was one of the last people to finally stand up on the board. Not once did I feel discouraged. The entire team and even the other participants cheered me on and celebrated my success like it was their own. To top it all off, they captured the experience with amazing photos and videos that I’ll treasure forever. If you’re thinking about learning to surf in Waikiki, this is the team you want by your side!

Great Fun
The experience was epic. The instructors were patient and kind and allowed us to learn how to get up nicely. I would totally recommend it to anyone. It was an experience I will take to all my friends and family who want to come to Hawaii to experience such a fun time.

Totally worth it.
My daughter has wanted to take a surf lesson for ages and we finally did it. The paddling is hard work, the ocean is salty and you’ll fall a lot, but once you catch a wave, you’ll realize it’s worth it. The instructor was helpful, super encouraging and kind. There is a photo package available to view before buying. Compared to other photos for sale, I felt like the pictures were much cooler. If you are looking for an active beach activity, I definitely recommend stoke-drift.

Fantastic Surfing Experience
This was a highlight of our vacation in Hawaii. We had so much fun learning to surf! The instructors were patient and encouraging and had picked the perfect spot with waves that were just right for beginners. They even adjusted our time slightly to ensure the tide was just right. Everyone got up and rode several waves all the way to the beach. By the end of the lesson, the kids were begging us to buy a surfboard!

Great experience! Both my...
Great experience! Both my husband and I were standing up and riding waves by the end of the lesson, our instructor was very knowledgeable and helped us to feel comfortable and confident on the boards! We also saw some sea turtles while paddling out which was cool. Fun and unique experience, would definitely do again!

Absolutely amazing day!
We had an absolutely amazing experience. We have been dreaming of surfing at Waikiki for many years and the experience with the help of our instructors. Kevin and Harry was better than we could’ve imagined. We had two beginner surfers as well and both of them had an absolute blast and caught a whole bunch of waves. We’ve been talking about it constantly for the last 24 hours. Thank you so very much for making this experience so wonderful.

Wonderful surfing experience
The entire team was absolutely awesome. We got plenty of time out on the water, even though the waves weren’t quite hitting. My seven-year-old rode tandem with an instructor and he had a wonderful time. My 10-year-old, my wife, and I all got to catch plenty of waves and had a great time.
The team was organized, friendly and amazing they took GoPro video of all of us surfing, and the footage was exceptional. Nice long rides, and they provided trash guards and water shoes. I can’t recommend them enough.
