Surfing Adventours
Private Surfing Lessons
Price Per Person: $125
Aloha! I’m Ali, and I teach private surfing lessons with available slots on weekdays at 2:30 or 4:00 PM.
We meet promptly at Duke Kahanamoku’s Statue on Waikiki Beach.
The lesson begins onshore where you will learn how to properly "pop up," balance, paddle, read the waves, and understand important surf etiquette.
Each lesson is $125 for 90 minutes. The first 15 minutes consist of pre-instruction on the shore, with the remainder of the time spent in the water.
A surfboard and leash are provided. Please come ready to get in the water, wearing a swimsuit, rash guard, and sunscreen.
My only requirement is that you must already know how to swim.
Surfing is an amazing sport, and I love helping people discover it for the first time. I’m here to support you every step of the way, as I know how challenging the initial learning curve can be. I genuinely enjoy sharing the thrill of watching my students stand up for the first time and gain confidence in trying something new. I’m excited to see you out in the water!
Feel free to reach out with any questions you have.
What to Expect
Experience the thrill of surfing with a personalized one-on-one lesson designed just for you. Enjoy expert guidance and a stress-free environment as you ride the iconic Hawaiian waves. We’ll meet at Duke Kahanamoku’s statue on Waikiki Beach for a private surf crash course. Start with a surfboard rental and a shore-based lesson to master the techniques for standing up, reading the waves, and safety precautions. *You must know how to swim* as we’ll paddle out together into the aqua waters to catch your first waves. Benefit from dedicated attention and safety in a private class, ensuring you’re well-prepared and confident. We also offer the option to purchase drone footage of your surf session, including both photos and videos of your surfing experience in Hawai'i. Please speak with your instructor in advance to confirm the availability of the photographer. Dive into the excitement and get ready to ride your first wave!
About Me
Aloha! I’m Ali, founder of HawaiiAdvenTours. I adore the Hawaiian Islands and am proud to
guide fellow travelers to niche spots and respectfully explore this beautiful aina. I have surfed, rock
climbed, and hiked all over the world. From the trails of the Costa Rican jungle to summiting Japan’s
Mount Fuji peak, I have been fortunate to see over 15 countries and most of the United States.
I grew up in Arizona and Utah, graduated with two Bachelors in Global Communication and
Chinese, and spent the last summer abroad in Asia teaching English. Out of all the places I’ve seen,
Hawaii has completely stolen my heart and I can’t wait to share it with you. I have been rock climbing
for 10+ years all over the world, know all the beginner friendly surf breaks on the island, and have
loads of recommendations for various adventures.
I am flexible and easygoing and will personally cater your experience in Hawaii to your
comfort and skill level.
