  • What if the waves are too big or too small on the day of my lesson?
    The best part about Waikiki is there are always ridable waves. The smaller, the more tame and longer wait times to rest between waves. The bigger, the more intense your session will be with shorter rest times between waves. Occasionally waves will be too big on select days in the summer or during hurricane season and we may have to reschedule for safety reasons. In this case, if you are unable to reschedule you would receive a full refund.
