Learn to Surf with Waikīkī Surf Lessons at the Sheraton
“E Heʻenalu Kākaou!” (Let’s Surf!). When visiting Waikīkī, taking surfing lessons from a Waikīkī Beachboy at Waikīkī Beach Services is a must-do activity. The sandy ocean bottom and gentle, rolling waves make it an ideal location to learn the Hawaiian sport of heʻenalu, or “board sliding.” Our Waikīkī Beachboys are experienced instructors who can provide a Waikiki Surf Lesson experience tailored to all levels of expertise, whether you’re an absolute beginner or an experienced rider. Safety, comfort, and fun are our top priorities, ensuring everyone can enjoy a memorable surfing experience at Waikīkī Beach.
Note: all of our Waikīkī Beachboys are lifeguard and CPR certified and must pass vigorous licensing requirements to provide Surfing Lessons on Waikiki Beach with Waikīkī Beach Services.
