    Greg K.

    I don’t usually leave reviews, but I’m so glad I found Conor’s private lesson over many others I almost booked. Conor was easy going, supportive, and focused on making sure I got the most out of my time in the water. He made things relaxing and fun. His mellow vibe makes him a great teacher and a great guy!

  • “
    Yoni W.

    Never having surfed before, we felt totally at ease in Conor’s care. We thought we’d be jut awful at it but we even surprised ourselves with how well we managed. All thanks to the expertise and fantastic bedside manner of our great teacher, Conor! Highly recommend for his great vibes and even better instruction.

    Best surf lesson on the island. Conor rocks! the lesson was super organized, and the location was incredibly scenic. I took a lesson in Waikiki and much preferred this experience. I got to see some live sea turtles and mastered standing up on my board. Definitely inspired to continue practicing after this lesson.

I owe it all to Connor my instructor who was positive and knowledgeable, not to mention just a good time and motivated me to achieve this once in a lifetime feeling first time feeling. I cant wait to surf again! Thank you Catch a Wave!! I recommend anyone who is looking for that type of good vibe experience to give them a call.

    Connor was the best. Patient and friendly, he took his time to make sure we felt comfortable. Awesome experience and would highly recommend!

    Conner was an amazing instructor and I highly recommend taking a lesson. It was my first time surfing, and was a bit hesitant because I’m not a very confident swimmer. However Conner made the entire experience extremely pleasant and once in the ocean, I felt comfortable. I really enjoyed surfing with Connor!

    Nisha C.

    Conor was a great instructor. He was recommended to us by a family member and they led us well! The surfing spot he chose was great for us and we were able to stand up & catch some great waves. We had 2 people in our group that had never surfed before. He is a skilled instructor and was very patient with us. After our lesson, he recommended some great spots to eat and beach on the north side of the island. Would recommend!!

Frequently asked questions

Why should you take a surf lesson with Catch a Wave?

At Catch a Wave, we provide personalized in-person surf lessons on the North Shore of Oahu, away from the busy crowds of Waikiki. Our expert instructors guide you through every step, ensuring you have the opportunity to stand up and ride a wave, regardless of your skill level. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, we’ll help you navigate Hawaii’s famous reef breaks safely and confidently.

Why should I take a surf lesson on the North Shore of Oahu?

The North Shore of Oahu is world-famous for its incredible waves and pristine beaches. Unlike the crowded surf spots in Waikiki, the North Shore offers a more authentic experience, with waves that are perfect for learning or improving your skills. Surfing here lets you dive into the rich surf culture of this iconic location. And best of all, you’ll leave with an amazing story to share—after all, not everyone gets to say they’ve surfed the legendary North Shore, one of the world’s most famous surf spots!

Are surf lessons worth it?

Absolutely! Whether you’re new to surfing or have some experience, lessons are a great way to learn faster and stay safe in the water. Our local knowledge of the unique reef breaks on the North Shore helps you ride the best waves for your skill level and avoid any hazards you might not be familiar with.

Do you offer lessons for beginners?

Yes, we specialize in beginner surf lessons! Our instructors will teach you the basics, from paddling to standing up on your board. You’ll also learn about wave selection and safety, making sure you have a fun and memorable experience on the North Shore.

What if I’ve surfed before?

Even experienced surfers benefit from lessons in Hawaii. The reef breaks here are different from the beach breaks in many other locations. Our one-on-one lessons provide expert guidance, helping you navigate Hawaii’s waves with confidence and improve your skills for future solo sessions.

Where do we meet for lessons?

We meet at a public beach park on the North Shore of Oahu. The specific beach is selected based on that day’s water conditions to ensure the best and safest experience. We’ll let you know where to meet on the day of your lesson.

What should I bring to my lesson?

We provide everything you need, including surfboards and rash guards. Just wear your bathing suit, and plan to leave your valuables locked in your car, as we’ll be out in the water the whole time.

What is your cancellation policy?

Lessons can be canceled up to 72 hours in advance for a full refund. We understand that plans can change, so we allow for one reschedule if you need to adjust your timing.

Do you offer discounts for multiple lessons?

Yes! Many of our clients regret booking a lesson on the last day of their trip because they want to go again. If you book additional lessons during the same trip, we offer a discount on the second (and any subsequent) lessons to help you make the most of your time in Hawaii.

Do you offer accommodations?

Yes, we have a beautiful studio available for guests who want to enjoy a multi-day surf experience. It’s perfect for individuals or couples looking to enjoy some time on the North Shore of Oahu. While Waikiki is busy and full of tourists, the North Shore offers a more peaceful, authentic Hawaiian experience, with stunning beaches, fewer crowds, and a laid-back atmosphere. Staying on the North Shore allows you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Hawaii while enjoying surf lessons and relaxation in one of the most beautiful parts of the island.

Why take in-person lessons instead of watching surf videos?

Surfing is a skill that requires real-time feedback and adaptation to conditions, which is why in-person lessons are far superior to watching videos. Our instructors can correct your stance, paddling technique, and timing on the spot, ensuring you improve quickly and safely. Plus, nothing compares to the hands-on guidance you’ll get from someone who knows the local waters.

Why do you only offer private or small group lessons?

At Catch a Wave, we prioritize safety and personalized instruction. Large group lessons often leave participants feeling lost, overwhelmed, or without enough attention from the instructor. By offering only private or small group lessons, we ensure that you receive the one-on-one guidance needed to build your confidence, catch more waves, and have an enjoyable time. This approach allows us to focus on your individual needs, making sure you feel supported and safe in the water.

Do you offer Kama‘aina or military discounts?

Yes, we do! If you’re a Hawaii resident or in the military, give us a call for special rates. Since you’re part of the island community, we’ll also tailor the lesson to help you not only enjoy your time in the water but also build the skills and confidence to surf on your own. Our goal is to make sure you leave feeling comfortable and ready to catch waves whenever you want!
