Surf Lessons FAQ
Group surf lessons often raise questions about who you will be surfing with, how instruction is shared, and whether safety and progress are still prioritized in a group setting. This FAQ explains how group surf lessons in Waikiki are structured, how groups are formed, what supervision looks like in the water, and what to expect so you can decide if a group lesson is the right fit and arrive confident and prepared.
No, not typically. Group lessons are usually booked as a private group, meaning you are learning with your own friends, family, or travel group rather than joining a random class. If you are booking as one person, you can choose a private lesson or ask about the best available option for your situation.
Group lessons are designed for people who are already arriving together as a group. If you are booking solo or as a pair, a private or semi-private lesson is usually the better fit because instruction can be paced entirely around you.
A group lesson is generally a shared lesson format for multiple students learning together at a common pace. A family lesson is structured specifically for parents and kids in the same session, with instruction adjusted by age, confidence, and comfort level so everyone stays included and supported.
Group lessons start with a safety and ocean briefing, then land-based coaching on stance, pop-up mechanics, and board control. In the water, the instructor organizes turns and positioning so everyone gets guided practice, clear feedback, and time riding waves while the session stays structured and safe.
No. Mickey brings the boards to the beach near the entry point, close to where you will paddle out. You can focus on instruction and getting comfortable rather than hauling equipment across Waikiki Beach.
We provide surfboards, leashes, and rash guards for the lesson, plus a safe place to store personal items. Bring swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, and water. If you have questions about sun protection or comfort, ask before your lesson and you will be advised on what to bring.
