Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the surfing lessons at Ko'olina?

A: Yes, the surfing lessons are typically suitable for ages 8 and up. However, younger kids can sometimes join if they're with a parent. Just check with Surf HNL beforehand. They want to make sure everyone is safe and gets the most out of the experience!

Q: How does the rescheduling process work if the weather's bad?

A: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, Surf HNL will reach out to reschedule your lesson for a later date. They’re pretty flexible, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding a new time that works for you. Just keep an eye on your email after booking.

Q: What should I wear for the surfing lesson? Any recommendations?

A: You’ll want to wear something you’re comfortable in, like a swimsuit or board shorts. Surf HNL provides rash guards, so that’s one less thing to pack! You might also consider water shoes since you'll be on the reef a bit.

Thinking of gifting a surfing lesson – any tips?

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting my brother a private surf lesson at Surf HNL in Ko'olina. He’s been wanting to try surfing forever! I saw it includes all the gear and a certified instructor. Has anyone done this? How was your experience? Any tips for a newbie?

Just booked a surfing lesson at Ko'olina, super excited!

I booked a small-group lesson at Surf HNL for next week! Can’t wait! They’re right on the beach and the setup looks really nice. Is there anything specific I should know before I go? I’ve never surfed before!
