There’s no better place to learn to stand up paddle (SUP) than the beautiful waters of Hawaii. Join a small group in Waikiki and learn the basics of SUP right on the beach with a lesson tailored to your swimming strength. Then, venture into the water to put your newfound skills to work. After the lesson, enjoy time to relax on the beach or in the shade of an on-site tent.

• Take in the scenery of Waikiki from the water
• All necessary SUP equipment is provided
• Hassle-free transfers from select Waikiki hotels
• A small group means more attention from your guide

What To Expect

Jump on the Surf School Bus and we will get you from wherever you're staying in Waikiki to the beach and up and riding! We offer a complimentary courtesy shuttle. Our knowledgeable staff will meet you at one of our convenient hotel pick-up locations. You’ll be stoked to ride in our air-conditioned, clean, easy-to-spot yellow Surf School Bus or white shuttle with our logo on the side. We will then shuttle you to our Ohana Surf Center located in the Waikiki Beach Marriott. From there you will get checked-in, geared up, and then will be shuttled to the beach for some paddle boarding!

Once by the ocean, you will meet your instructor and talk about your previous experience, swimming strength or any other concerns or conditions, then we’ll have you walk your high quality lesson boards to the beach. When you’re comfortable and ready, we leash ourselves to the board and into the water we go!

After the lesson, you’ll be taken back to the Ohana Surf Center where you can check out photographs, videos, the work of our cameraman or buy some merch for yourself or friends. Then after your purchases are made, we drive you back to one of our convenient drop off locations.
