Join an Aloha Small-Group Lesson – our most popular lesson!  You’ll enjoy personalized instruction at fantastic value, with just 2-6 participants allowed per class.  

We guarantee small group sizes to ensure a safe and fun lesson for everyone.  Small groups are safer, more fun, and provide more personalized instruction for each individual. You’ll get the assistance needed to understand how to surf faster!  100% worth it.  

Your equipment hire is included – a soft-top beginner surfboard and full length wetsuit, correctly fitted to you.  

The class begins with a 20 minute beach theory, where you’ll learn ocean safety, paddling and pop-up.  Then you’ll be taken into the water, where your instructor will help you onto small waves and cheer you on.

Before you know it, you’ll be riding waves with a huge smile on your face!

Bonus: After each of your lessons you will receive a free 1 hour surfboard hire to practice your new surfing skills!
