Q&A

Q: Do you know if there's an age limit for the surf lessons?

A: Yes, Ty Gurney Surf School typically recommends that kids be at least 8 years old to participate in surf lessons. They want to make sure the kids are big enough to handle the board and the waves. For younger kids or those with no experience, private lessons can be a great option, as the instructor can tailor the session to their abilities.

Q: What should I wear for the surf lessons? Is it just a swimsuit?

A: Definitely wear a swimsuit! The school provides rash guards, which are great for sun protection and comfort while paddling. A good pair of water shoes can help if you’re worried about your feet, but flip-flops work too for the beach. Just remember to apply sunscreen before you head out!

Q: How does rescheduling work if the weather is bad?

A: If the weather conditions aren’t safe for surfing, Ty Gurney Surf School will offer to reschedule your lesson. They’re really good about communicating if there’s a need to change plans. Just keep an eye on the forecast and reach out to them a day ahead if you’re concerned!

Thinking of buying surf lessons in Waikiki as a surprise gift!

I’m considering getting my boyfriend private surf lessons at Ty Gurney Surf School. He’s never surfed before but loves the ocean. I saw they keep it to two students per instructor, which sounds awesome for personal attention. Has anyone done this? What was your experience like?

Just booked surf lessons in Waikiki, any tips?

I just booked a semi-private surf lesson for me and my sister at Ty Gurney Surf School! We’re both kinda nervous but really excited. Any tips on what to expect or what we should bring?
