Best surf lessons on Oʻahu
Waikīkī is one of the best places in the world to learn to surf — the waves at Canoes and Queens are gentle, long, and forgiving, and most first-timers stand up within their first lesson. Summer brings the gentlest, most consistent south shore swells for beginners, though Waikīkī works year-round; winter's big North Shore waves are for experienced surfers. Every school on this page is vetted for safety, reviews, and instructor quality.
