About Kauai Surf School - Kauai Surf Lessons
Poipu's gentle, rolling breaks are ideal for first rides, and Kauai Surf School has the gear and patient instructors to get you up and gliding. Lessons start with a half-hour of dry-land coaching, then it's straight into the water for an hour of assisted wave catching followed by thirty minutes of supervised practice. All equipment is provided—just bring your swim skills and sense of adventure.
