At Ohana Surf Project, safety is our top priority! Our coaches and guides are professionals, trained in safety protocols such as CPR, lifeguarding, and first aid, and they are also friendly and approachable.
We are committed to delivering exceptional service to everyone who joins us on the water, and we warmly welcome their loved ones who come to support them. Our passion lies in teaching three exciting ways to glide across the water: surfing, stand-up paddling, and bodyboarding. With many years of experience, our staff members are among the best instructors in the industry. We love what we do and enjoy working together as a team and as ohana, ensuring our students feel safe, comfortable, and successful.
We eagerly anticipate welcoming you into our ohana and sharing the aloha spirit that keeps us all here in Hawaii—enjoying life and good company, respecting the ‘aina (our mother earth), having fun, and staying active.
