Common Questions About Private Surf Lessons at Waikiki Beach
What are the benefits of private surf lessons versus group lessons?
Private surf lessons provide undivided attention from your instructor, allowing you to progress faster and catch more waves. Your instructor focuses exclusively on your technique, immediately corrects mistakes, and customizes the lesson to your specific needs. You'll learn at your own pace without waiting for other students.
How long should my first private surf lesson be?
For first time surfers, we recommend starting with a 1.5 to 2 hour private lesson. This gives you enough time to learn the basics, practice in the water, and catch multiple waves without becoming overly tired. Younger children may prefer 1 hour lessons.
Can I book private surf lessons for my child?
Absolutely. Private lessons are ideal for children ages 5 and up. Young children receive patient, personalized instruction tailored to their attention span and physical abilities. Parents can watch from the beach or join in with their own private lesson.
What skill level are private lessons appropriate for?
Private surf lessons work for all skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced surfers. Beginners learn fundamentals and catch their first waves, while intermediate and advanced surfers refine techniques like turning, cutbacks, and wave selection.
Can I choose my lesson time with private instruction?
Yes, private lessons offer flexible scheduling. We work with your vacation schedule to find the best time, and can recommend optimal times based on tide and wave conditions for your skill level.
Will I catch more waves in a private lesson?
Definitely. With one-on-one instruction, your instructor positions you perfectly for every wave and helps you catch significantly more waves than you would in a group setting. More waves means faster learning and more fun.
