Surfing Lesson That’s Actually FUN

By Corinna Wells

Every month, hundreds of individuals and households on the U.S. mainland perform an online search for “fun surfing lesson” in Waikiki Beach prior to their vacation arrival on Oahu. Some may think that’s a redundant query. Isn’t a surfing lesson supposed to be fun in the first place?? It should be. However, like with any service industry there are good apples and bad apples. Sorry – good pineapples and bad pineapples (we are in Hawaii, after all). To ensure that you get the good pineapples (last time we use that joke, we promise) be sure to book your lessons with Sparky’s Surf School. Below is a breakdown of why your lesson/s will be one of the most enjoyable experiences during your vacation on the island.

Waikiki Surf Lessons for Beginners

By Corinna Wells

Waikiki Beach receives more than four million visitors every year. A significant number of them want to learn how to surf. Unfortunately, some of these visitors never get to enjoy the feeling of riding a wave in the place surfing was first born. Why?

The fear of being a novice.

Allow us to nip that concern in the bud. Waikiki’s near-shore waves are nothing like unforgiving mainland beach breaks that can dishearten the most determined student. The waves you’ll learn on have enough “push” to get you up and riding, but don’t pack enough punch to frighten anyone. Simply put, Waikiki offers an ideal canvas to begin your journey as a surfer. There’s only one caveat – your experience will be shaped by your choice of lessons. Some of the lessons offered at Hawaii’s busiest beach operate like an assembly line. The instructor takes a student’s money, plops them on a plank, gives them a push, yells at them to pop up, then rinse and repeat until the hour is up. Who’s up next?

This is not the case when you book Waikiki surf lessons for beginners with Sparky’s Surf School. Below is a breakdown of what makes our (your) experience different.
