Surf Lesson

The Learn to Surf experience at Wai Kai offers the easiest and most enjoyable introduction to surfing for beginners. The Wai Kai Wave provides a smooth, controlled, and predictable environment—removing the intimidation of the ocean while keeping all the fun. With no paddling, no pop-ups, and no rough conditions to worry about, first-time and novice surfers can focus entirely on learning balance, positioning, and the excitement of gliding across a wave. Expert instructors guide you every step of the way, offering hands-on assistance during your first rides to help you build confidence. Safety gear, including helmets and soft-top boards for your first three waves, ensures a secure and stress-free learning experience. This program is perfect for anyone looking to catch their very first wave or build foundational skills before surfing in the open ocean.

Guests are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes before their session for check-in, with surf orientation beginning 15 minutes prior to the start time. Throughout the session, instructors provide personalized coaching, step-by-step instruction, and ongoing support to help you feel at ease and improve quickly. With the Ride A Wave Guarantee, beginners can feel confident knowing they’ll get the chance to succeed, and if not, instructors will continue working with them in a future session.
