Semi Private Surf Lesson at Jamie O'Brien School of Surf Waikīkī

Upon arrival, we’ll check you in and provide secure lockers to store your belongings safely. All you need to bring is swimwear, reef friendly sunscreen and a towel for after your lesson. We provide a rash guard, reef shoes, surfboard, and surf leash to ensure you’re fully equipped for your session. We also sell reef friendly sunscreen in the shop.
Each lesson begins with a 15–20 minute “land lesson,” where you’ll learn ocean safety, basic surfing techniques, and how to use your equipment.
Lessons are led by trained instructors from the team of professional surfer and Pipe Master Jamie OʻBrien. Your instructor will tailor the session to your skill level and learning style, covering paddling, stance, wave selection, and how to pop up. Once you’re ready, you’ll hit the water for a full hour or more of guided surfing.
In the ocean, your instructor stays right by your side, offering personalized feedback and adjustments to help you catch more waves with confidence.
After your lesson, return to the Flagship shop to relive the excitement—your photos will be displayed on state-of-the-art digital screens, allowing you to select and take home the memories you want to cherish.
