Overview

Poipu Beach Surf School is committed to providing each of its guests with a safe, fun, friendly surfing experience.
We take pride in providing top quality service, our instructors take pride and joy in introducing you to the ancient art of Hawaiian wave riding. A great activity for people of all ages.

Important Note When Selecting Lessons for Kids
For ages 6-9, Doug recommends private lessons, which guarantees that the child will ride more waves than in a group lesson. There are no refunds for students who are unable to finish the lesson based on their ability. Semi-private and private lessons ensure your child is able to go at their own pace. Group lessons do not offer the one-on-one attention that younger students need and deserve. It is highly encouraged to select a semi or private lesson for younger students.
