Where's the best place on Oahu to take surfing lessons?

Question

I've never surfed before, except for a little bit of kayak surfing. I'll be on Oahu for a week in December and would like to take 1 or 2 surfing lessons. Any recommendations?

Answer 1

You're going to have a blast, any of the larger hotels at Waikiki beach should offer lessons, also when you get to Honolulu International airport, check the brochures booth where you should find a bunch of surfing lessons numbers to call.

Answer 2

Yup, Waikiki beach (Queens) if you go to the hotels right there (Royal Hawaiian, the Outrigger) they offer surf lessons but you would prob get a better rate at a surf shop. Don't try the north shore but you should at least check it out.

the statue..it's Duke (I think)

Answer 3

Your best bet is going to be in and around Waikiki. The south shore of Oahu is more forgiving than elsewhere on the island. The last time I was there, there was a surf shop, right on the beach at Kuhio, that offered rentals and lessons. Not far from the statue of some famous surfer (name escapes me).

Answer 4

GOOFY FOOT is the best place for lessons i got up on a wave the first time ever with them so give them a try!
